Iowa Highway Commission urges tax free primary road funding
The Iowa state highway commission recommends removing direct and indirect tax burdens on general taxpayers for primary road paving. The entire cost would come from the primary road fund via motor vehicle taxes and federal aid, with local property owners no longer paying. Other proposals include rights of way power, condemning through orchards, funding share shifts, and expanding authority over road surface choices and advertising sign removal.
