Grayson County Considers Bond Issue for Highways
The Democrat urges a July 15 vote on a 2.5 million dollar county highway bond plan.

The proposal emphasizes shared effort by the county’s two largest towns and keeps the tax within a thirty cent per hundred valuation, arguing long term value and county-wide benefits.
