EPISD–bond advisory committee

January 31, 2018

EPISD has a citizens bond advisory committee (CBAC) that has been silent about the recent audit findings.

This graphic came from the district’s web site on January 28, 2018:

According to this they missed the December meeting and did not have one in January.

Maybe they are waiting for things to cool down.

We deserve better

Will Rogers on congress

Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what’s going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?

Vote by mail

January 29, 2018

The State Democratic Executive Committee send me an expensive mailer that was designed to get me to request a ballot by mail.

They clearly want more people to vote.

The mailer included a pre-addressed envelope made out to our county voting clerk and requested a ballot by mail for all elections in 2018.

I mailed in the request.

Stay tuned.

We deserve better

YISD–future agenda items

January 28, 2018

This portion of the Wednesday, January 17, 2018 Ysleta independent school district board of trustees meeting agenda is commendable.

They are not committing to handle those items and they are not telling us that they will not handle other items.

They are simply letting the public know about what they currently think they will be handling.

This is better

Another project fails

January 27, 2018

Speaking of the wind turbines on Airway, did you know this:

Once activated the turbines will generate energy. They will be tied into the power grid to offset electricity costs and to serve as a demonstration project for I-10 Aesthetic Master Plan.

The statement above came from the artist’s web site.

We somehow find a way to build things but never seem to have the money to keep them working.

According to this site we spent $7 million dollars on this.

We deserve better
