Time for Action on Iowa Highway Bond Plan
The Iowa general assembly faces a constitutional road block after the $100 million primary road bond bill was ruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court. A substitute financing scheme may be drafted without new bonds or another voter submission. Legislators, justice, and the executive will use the court’s opinion to craft a direct, timely solution to fund hard surfacing and prevent delays. The goal is to avoid postponement and resolve the road issue crucial to Iowa’s future.
