Can We Afford to Pass This County Bond Issue
Bryan and Brazos county residents voted to form a permanent committee to campaign for a 1.25 million dollar road bond issue to improve all county roads. The plan allocates 600000 to the State Highway Commission for concrete paving and bridges, 150000 for lateral roads, and uses 270000 and 169000 in retirements. The proposal envisions expanded road and bridge work with tax changes and county wide benefits.

It argues shorter hauls, better prices, closer town county ties, and social and educational benefits, urging voters to weigh economic and family impacts before passing.

Good Roads and Good Schools for Brazos County
The Brazos county plan argues two concrete main arteries and upgraded lateral roads will boost farm markets, property values, and especially rural education. With bonds of 250000 plus 550000 over five years from taxes and fees, hundreds of rural children could access high school. Is the plan worthwhile?
