Results for Knox and Waldo counties
Wed, 11/09/2016 - 6:00am

    Voters in Knox and Waldo counties apparently don’t have too much trouble deciding that funding transportation needs is a wise investment, as they easily approved Question 6, which raised a lot of money for a bond, which is then matched - and then some - by federal funds.

    Question 6: Citizen's Initiative
    Do you favor a $100,000,000 bond issue for construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation of highways and bridges and for facilities, equipment and property acquisition related to ports, harbors, marine transportation, freight and passenger railroads, aviation, transit and bicycle and pedestrian trails, to be used to match an estimated $137,000,000 in federal and other funds?
