Not one cent more said the city council.
Unless we can find a way to trick the crazies
Item 8.1 on the April 15, 2014 city council agenda does it to us again.
The city will give the state 5 million dollars to pay for aesthetic improvements at I-10 and highway 54.
The city will also give the state another 5 million dollars for “bridge enhancements” along I-10 from Porfirio Diaz street to Missouri avenue. The bridge enhancements will be from I-10 to the ball park.
In return
The state will give the city 2.7 million dollars for two pedestrian overpasses over the Bataan Memorial Trainway to the ball park.
The state will also provide $800,000 for downtown pedestrian wayfinding. Sounds like this is for the ball park too.
Then the state will give the city 6.5 million dollars for landscaping of parkways and street medians somewhere in the city.
Say it ain’t so
This way the city can say they did not spend more money on the ballpark. They were only helping the state.
The state will then pay for the changes needed for the ball park.
We deserve better

Bruti,
You need to chill out with a Courtney Niland “Homerun” Chihua-rita (double shot of Patron please!) that you purchased at the Cimmeron Housing Development Bar and Grill while downing a nice 10 piece spineless, er excuse me,BONELESS John Cook wings platter (extra spicy girls! I like it hot!) while you stand under the Southwest University Park Jumbotron (sponsored by La Madeline French Bistro) which is located exactly where that pesky little science museum used to be. Afterwards, relieve yourself in the Insights Science Museum Memorial Urinals sponsored by The Fountains at Farah.
You obviously are not getting into the spirit of things…work hard buddy!

You guys are behind the curve ball. There are vacancies for sedan chair folks for carrying in El Paso city council members and their benefactors. Size of the sedan chair is determined by ranking.
This will fit in with the city plan to reduce traffic jams, more parking, keeping the city green, reduce obesity rates and finally some use of bike lanes.
Hhhhmmm, wonder if there are openings for Palm leaf fan holder?
Pay: see game for free, crazy dog and kool aide.
