State plan outlines pay as you go road funding
Under the pay as you go plan of road construction the governor auditor and secretary estimate 57 million dollars will be available for building the state highway system in seven years. Maintenance allows 500 dollars per mile annually. An additional 15 million dollars over seven years comes from the one cent gasoline tax and farm to market road funds. The question asks why issue bonds when this funding covers growth without debt.
