Virginia farmers face pivotal vote on state roads bond plan
A call to farmers to decide next Tuesday whether to support the state's highway bond issue or a pay as you go plan. Proponents warn bonds raise costs and bind revenue for 25 years, while pay as you go would fund feeder roads and faster farm access. The message argues farmers and cities both gain from funding roads through pay as you go and urges voting line reading for the state roads bond issue.
