You might call Bedford County a victim of its own success.
Thanks to the lure of low taxes, the county's population has grown by three
percent every year since 1970.. and its school system has added 2500 students
in the last ten years.. it can expect at least that many over the next five.
But that same low tax rate means the county has trouble affording everything
it needs.

renovate its courthouse, seven million for three new libraries and the school
