Today (February 4, 2013) is the day that hearings start in Travis County relative to the City of El Paso wanting a declaratory judgment that what it has done to finance the ball park and move city hall is legal.
Declaratory judgment explains the issue.
City council could have had the hearings in El Paso. The law gave them a choice. Local judges would probably have run from the case, but a visiting judge from out of town could easily have been appointed.
If the hearings were in El Paso we would have had an opportunity to voice our thoughts. The city chose to have the hearings in Travis County so that we would not attend.
This single act shows most clearly that we have a run-away city council that does not want input from the voters.
Shame!
The voting results that show who is doing this to us can be seen here on pages 17 and 18.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
