\u201cIf the taxpayers choose to go forward, we go forward. If they don\u2019t \u2026 we\u2019re still going to pay [in other ways],\u201d Fletcher said.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a breakdown of the four propositions:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Proposition A\u00a0<\/p>\n
This $296.5 million proposition includes expanding the county jail by approximately 550 beds, replacing cell doors, modernizing elevators and upgrading HVAC systems, county administrator Yoon Kim said. About a third of this proposition will fund improvements to the county courthouse building including replacing the roof, modernizing elevators and renovating the space that currently houses the community supervision and corrections department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Proposition B<\/p>\n
This $475 million proposition could fund three major road projects. These include service roads for the Dallas North Tollway, the second service road for the Outer Loop just west of U.S. Highway 75 and a service road from Farmersville to Rockwall County, Daugherty said.\u00a0Money will also be used to widen existing roads and improve intersections. <\/p>\n

Proposition D<\/p>\n
