"Thanks for your support in the primary election. We now must chose between the two remaining candidates." Within the next few weeks, the future of Wheeler's TxDoT Maintenance Barn once again hangs in the balance. Your input is needed to keep the Texas Department of Trans- portation from closing the Highway Barn located on Highway 83 in Wheeler. A town hall meeting was held May, 1999. The number of individuals expressing concern kept the TxDoT from closing the barn at that time. Once again YOU need to 'stand up and be counted'. The north half of Wheeler County needs this facility, especially in the winter months.
