Coupal warns federal highway cuts would hurt Iowa program
Iowa highway chief Joseph Coupal says proposed U S federal cuts to highway funding would severely curtail Iowa's road program. A 2.2 billion nationwide cut would drop Iowa's allotment to 33 million for 12 months, a 1 billion cut to 16 million, or a 600 million cut to 9 million. Coupal notes Iowa has already advanced over 46 million state funds for interstate work and plans another 30 million in the next two years, risking industry and safety goals. He urged Gov. Hughes to respond to Transportation Secretary Boyd.
