County road bond proposal framed as facing facts
Local supporters say Wilbarger County needs a road bond to fix and build permanent highways due to lack of funds for repairs. Business figures like L K Johnson and Cy Long discuss allocating most funds to permanent roads and attracting traffic from neighboring counties to spur local economy.
