Traffic investigations

September 25, 2016

Are there automobile accident investigation methods that allow normal traffic to resume more quickly than the ones used by the El Paso police department?

We can understand the need to gather facts but the impact on the public should be considered also.

We deserve better

Word on the street is that the Times will raise the price of their daily publication to $1.50 within the next few weeks.

EPISD bonds–will they spend it on what they tell us?

September 23, 2016

This note was sent to us with the implication that some future EPISD board might do the same thing with the bond money that they want us to approve:

 

Rival Texas high schools spend more than $60 million on new stadiums | All Ablog Austin

Allen High School, home of the Eagles, is the proud owner of a $60-million stadium …

School stadiums are a Texas-sized rivalry

It would be good if we could get them to commit to building what they are telling us the bond money is for, not something that they decide later.

EPISD bonds–high school renovations

September 22, 2016

The EPISD bond issue will likely lose some votes because of the unequal amounts they are spending on the schools.

These high school renovation numbers are in millions of dollars:

Andress    23

Austin     32

Coronado   73

El Paso    21

Irvin      27

Will voters resent giving Coronado more than twice the amount that other schools get?

We deserve better
