The Greenville Pioneer reports that a $2.75 million bond resolution, for a new Westerlo highway garage was passed June 2. The 20-year bond includes $893,000 for renovations to the town hall and the rest to replace the 55-year-old highway department facility. The vote was not without controversy. The article says, "allegatiions also flew about the board holding unadvertised meetings to convene with engineers, and calling a public information meeting two weeks after approving the bond." One resident, Tracey Lawson, is currently collecting signatures on a petition to force a public vote on the proposal, which is due July 2.
