Interstate Rehab Plan

In 1999 Arkansas voters passed the Interstate Rehabilitation Program. It helped to repair over 350 miles of interstate highway across our state. The only problem is,  Arkansas has over 650 miles of interstate. Do the math. It’s time for our state to again address this issue. If you haven’t gone to the polls for early voting, and I’m willing to wager that most haven’t, there is an issue on the November 8th election ballot to authorize the 2011 Interstate Rehabilitation Program. This bond issue is identical to the one passed in 1999. It allows the Arkansas Highway Commission to issue Garvee bonds to fix 400 miles of Interstate highway in Arkansas. AND…No new or increased taxes will be required for the 2011 program.  We believe that good roads bring with them good jobs, good business, and good people to our state and we support passage of the 2011 Interstate Rehabilitation program. Whether you agree or not, we encourage you to make the time to go to the polls and execute your rights as a voter.  It will make this a Better Region 8.
