Liberal Aid for Wilbarger County Road Building
The State Highway Commission offers Wilbarger County $200 000 for permanent roads with an extra $300 000 if the state bond issue passes next November. A $1 500 000 county highway bond issue would leverage substantial federal and state funds, with taxes only needed to retire bonds issued. The plan allows phased bond issuance over years, avoiding repeated elections while expanding road and school prosperity for progressive families.
