County road bonds may be paid from primary road funds
Black Hawk County reduced its outstanding road bonds to 1 135 000. If voters approve a 1 000 000 additional issue or a 100 000 000 state issue fails, the bonds and interest would still be paid from the primary road fund sourced by motor license fees and gasoline tax. Not all of the 1 000 000 may be issued, used only as needed, with state bonds potentially enabling cross state trunk line paving. Nine counties have yet to bond.
