  The Maverick County Commissioners Court has added two new election polling sites the bond election to be held on May 6, 2017.

A group of Maverick County taxpayers who submitted a petition with 1,488 signatures to impede the Maverick County Commissioners Court from proceeding to issue out $8.5 Million in Certificates of Obligation (CO’s) received what they so desired on Friday, February 17.

The petition submitted by a group of concerned tax payers for an election on the $8.5 million certificates of obligation has been declared valid, and the decision whether or not to conduct an election will be made this Friday at the Maverick County Commissioners’ Court special meeting. 

The voter petition to call an election on the $8.5 million Certificates of Obligation was deemed valid by a narrow margin at a special county meeting held on Monday, February 13, 2017.
