Voters Decide July 28 on Harris County Road Bonds
Voters will decide on a $15 million road bond issue in the July 28 primary. Harris County faces losing access to Pasadena Freeway funds if the bond fails, while Dallas may secure its share of state money for freeway rights of way. The State Highway Department demands county rights of way money, and a past court ruling voided a highway tax, leaving Harris County unable to finance the project without the bond approval.
