PRECINCT 3 ROAD WORK ALERT:

Please be patient with our crews that are out in this 100° weather working on our roads for us. Here is a note from Road and Bridge on schedule:

"We will start towards the end of 323 then 324 and end on 322. If we have extra we will probably go up to 313 to run it out."

Thanks you for your Grace. 🙏🏻

Dublin Citizen: “This entire process has been about silencing the people,” Joslin said, referring to public meetings scheduled past capacity level so citizens could not get inside.

In attendance at the meeting was State Representative Shelby Slawson (District 59), State Representative Helen Kerwin (District 58), Ross Tullis, a representative from State Representative David Cook’s (District 96) office, along with Vicky Hoggette, a Somervell County landowner, County Judge Brandon Huckabee, Somervell County Commissioner Chip Joslin, Erath County landowner Joanna Friebele, Stephenville Mayor Lonn Reisman and Stephenville City Councilmember Gerald Cook.

*Please note that Judge Chambers and Commissioner Harris actually serve on this Committee and have both done many months of work. We are all still in this fight to be heard. 🙏🏻

Definitely have mixed emotions about the 765Kv line decision from PUCT today. Even though we were victorious in keeping it off of our beautiful Dinosaur Valley State Park, it looks like our great friends in both Hood and Erath will be the ones that mostly have to deal with this monstrosity.

Thanks to all that worked so hard to protect our County Treasure. 🙏🏻
