Llano county commissioners' court adopts a resolution clarifying that if the $75,000 road bond is approved, funds will be used exclusively for right of way related to Highway No. 29 routing south of the Llano River. The measure aims to prevent legal issues from the earlier petition and aligns with the original request for road improvements in precincts 1 2 and 3 including the Liano Brady road and Mason County line.
