Dear editor:
I encourage all to be sure to vote in the Pave It Forward election! This is an important election for those with a desire to create new jobs and invite added capital investment to Hot Springs and Garland County, not to mention the improvement to streets and highways.
We are in a new world and we are going to have to depend on more local funding for our streets and highways going forward. The good news is that this gives our officials more local control and we have more "say so" in these improvements.
This is a minimal sales tax that we are already accustomed to paying, as it has funded our new state-of-the-art correctional facility that has actually being paid for early!
Please go vote to support growth in our community! Go vote for the Pave It Forward initiative. Tuesday is your last opportunity to support this effort.
Thank you!
