A Moses to figure out gas tax for roads in Black Hawk
A reader from Waterloo urges Black Hawk county to back a permanent primary road system funded by auto license fees and a state bond plan. He criticizes the Bergman gas tax proposal as costly and misdirected, calls for a countywide mass meeting, and argues for bonds on licenses to create long lasting east west and north south routes. He contends state funds should build primary roads where travel is heaviest and warns the tax approach would drain county funds without real improvements.
