According to an article in the Times UTEP is having to cut its budget.
The new president is asking the deans and vice presidents for suggestions as to how they can cut their respective budgets.
It seems that in the past the “executive leadership” made those decisions.
I applaud Mrs. Wilson.
The ultimate decisions will have to be hers but at least she is giving her subordinates an opportunity to participate.
This is better

If you have not already voted please do so today.
This is the last day you can vote on the proposed bond issue.
My property taxes increased $800 dollars this year.
A large part of the quality of life bonds have yet to be sold. When they are sold our taxes will go up further.
Those of us that live in the EPISD district are now paying more than $3.07 per hundred dollars of valuation in property taxes.
That’s three percent of your property’s value every year.
That puts us at the highest property tax rate among the 50 largest cities in the United States.
What the city is asking for is a blank check.
If they need new buildings the should figure out how much they will cost and then ask us for the money.
We deserve better

I spoke with an acquaintance the other day that did not know about bond election Tuesday.
He does now.
Talk with everyone that you can.
Ask them to go vote.
We deserve better

Someone sent this in:
I heard the other day that Walmart was going to be closed Christmas day.
Evidently they want to give their two checkers the day off.
We deserve better
