Rural House vote shifts funds away from primary roads
In Des Moines the Iowa House voted 47-40-13 to allocate RATF funds 47 percent to primary and interstate roads, 40 percent to secondary and farm to market roads, and 13 percent to cities and towns, a move seen as risking interstate matching funds and drawing urban rural clashes over road priorities. The plan faces a potential conference with the Senate, which had proposed different allocations and an off the top matching mechanism for interstate funding.
