Highway contracts ruled improper for county funds
The Dallas News notes a ruling by Texas Attorney General that counties cannot contract for public road construction using even partial county funds on designated highways. If funds are placed under the Highway Commission, the commission could approve plans yet deny state aid if county money is involved, potentially ending 50-50 aid. The opinion leaves open whether past contracts are void and calls for legal clarifications amid ongoing highway policy debates.
