Letter to the Editor

The Dallas County Economic Development Group (DCEDG) is writing to support the renewal of the Dallas County Half-Cent Road and Bridge Capital Improvement Sales Tax appearing on the April 2, 2024 ballot. This tax was first passed in 1984 with a sunset provision ensuring the law would be subjected to a renewal vote every 10 years. This tax comprises approximately two-thirds of Dallas County’s current road and bridge budget. On April 2, the County is seeking that this tax be placed without the sunset provision.

Letter to the Editor

On the April 2nd ballot in Dallas County is the renewal of a 1/2 cent sales tax for the county road and bridge fund. This is an existing tax, and it has been in place since 1984. The funds from this tax represent approximately two-thirds of the county road and bridge budget. From the Dallas County R-I School District perspective, the maintenance of our rural roads is highly important. Our buses and vans drive around 300,000 miles on our county-maintained roads annually, and a lower level of funding for these roads would be costly to the school district.

When i learned my mother was going to give us a little brother or sister, I wasn’t real thrilled. I had been the baby of the family for six years and wasn’t quite ready to give up that position to a baby sibling.
