County Officials Back Plan to Have State Take Over Bonds
County officials in Texas face a clash over a plan to have the State assume nearly 200 million dollars of county bonds for roads. Dallas County officials complain of overspending and doubt tax relief would occur. Highway Department officials fear bond servicing would threaten future road programs. Voters are wary, having relied on cash finance for roads. The Taber plan, radical as proposed, is unlikely in its current form but could spark a big state bond push in the legislature.
