City Bonds Sale Moves Ahead After Court Ruling
Judge William Holland refused a temporary injunction delaying the 11.6 million capital improvements bond sale.

The suit by Texas Federation of Independent Businessmen and Taxpayers questions the mayor’s signature on the bond election ordinance and seeks to halt sale.
