The city plans to have a runoff election for the district 3 representative position.
This is necessary because city council decided that the incumbent district 3 representative had resigned from city council when a post showing her to be running for the office of mayor was posted on social media.
There will also be a special election to replace the district 6 representative who is running for an open seat in the Texas house of representatives.
The cost to the citizens will be $157,619.55. This is money the county will charge to conduct the elections.
We deserve better

Electing incompetent city reps keeps getting more and more expensive.

Incompetence or corruption?

The county (us) charging the city (ourselves) is one more example of why the city and county governments should be consolidated. The savings would be huge and anytime you eliminate a bunch of politicians there are benefits including fewer opportunities for corruption.

Yeah, but a move like that would make it harder for husband and wife politician families to support themselves in local, entry-level big donor financed races.

I’m being sarcastic. Perez and Ordaz are the current example. He is building his resume in Commissioners Court while she has built hers on City Council. If we had a combined urban entity it is unlikely we would have been comfortable with a husband and wife holding slots simultaneously in a single governing body.

Tax, waste, spend, tax some more, waste even more. Maybe one day TAXPAYERS, VOTERS will see what is going on with these bums and STOP voting for the SAME ones over and over and over AGAIN. Then again maybe the uneducated, uninformed VOTERS of El Taxo enjoy the MAYOR and his CLOWN Council stealing from them, robbing them blind, dumping El Taxo into a TRILLION$$$$ bankruptcy.
