Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Voters rejected Amendment 7 last August by almost 19 points. Now here comes the stick. Naughty voters beware- tough choices are ahead. There will only be $325M in construction funding by FY2017, thus the Missouri 325 System.

While it is mainly a way to scare voters and legislators into finding more funding for MoDOT, this plan is actually a step in the right direction. MoDOT will only make capital improvements to 8,000 of its 34,000 miles of responsibility. The rest will only receive basic maintenance.
