Precinct one makes progress; court to monitor CERTZ funds
By BARBARA GREEN
Montague County Commissioner Bob Langford of precinct four has made no bones about it: If precinct one didn’t step up and start spending those county transportation infrastructure road funds, he was going to push to re-allocate the remaining funds come mid-July.
That potential blow-up was stalled Monday as Commissioner Herman Conway reported precinct one has made strong headway in the repairs spending nearly $400,000 in the past month.
The state funds are often called CERTZ funds due to the mandated creation of the county energy transportation reinvestment zone within all county receiving funds.

The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.

Voters in Bowie and Forestburg Independent School Districts will have their say Saturday as both entities offer up bond issues to improve infrastructure.
Early voting came to an end on Tuesday with a total of 1,230 people casting their ballots.
On election day the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: Bowie Senior Citizens Center, Forestburg ISD Library and Sunset City Hall. Voters can cast their ballots at any of these locations due to countywide voting.
