Bennett Replies to Heather on Marion County Roads
Attorney Walter H. Bennett rebuts H. C. Heather’s view that a $500,000 bond suffices for roads. Bennett argues a $1,350,000 issue, matched by state and federal funds, would build 400 miles of hard roads, benefiting all residents and avoiding higher future taxes. He says $1,000,000 would only yield about 100 miles, leaving many voters taxed for roads not touching their property.
