Bible Thought for Today on Road Bonds and Taxes

A quoted meditation contrasts living in the present with planning for tomorrow. The piece discusses Iowa road funding, noting $91,320,000 county road bonds across eighty counties being reduced by $6,216,000 and claiming state revenues can cover county obligations. It praises the state highway commission for building and maintaining roads without extra property taxes, cites $22,000,000 spent on roads this year, and mentions plans for a $100,000,000 state bond issue to shift obligations from counties to the state.
