This slide came from a presentation to city council:
It appears that other people can collectively vote to take your property.

Didn’t work out that way
September 1, 2019Remember that ball park that would be paid for by hotel motel occupancy taxes?
That did not quite work out.
Take a look at the column on the far right of this chart:
In 2019 they project that 27% of the debt service will have to be paid with other sources of revenue.
We deserve better

Bully or dummy or both?
August 28, 2019It’s another sad day in El Paso.
Our city council met Tuesday to consider ousting one of its members.
The charge?
Evidently there was a Facebook post where a picture of the council member was shown. The title of the page was “Cassandra Hernandez for Mayor of El Paso, Texas”.
The issue here will come down to details.
Did the council member participate in the creation of the page?
Did the council member authorize the publishing of the page?
Unfortunately many of our city council members are ignorant of the laws controlling their offices and the city government.
If our mayor continues to try to oust her this will probably end up in court.
We deserve better

Police training academy
August 27, 2019If the police department thinks that they need a new training academy facility why don’t we get them to buy and remodel one of the schools that EPISD has recently closed?
We deserve better
