Mayor, please read this

May 13, 2020

This came in from Jerry Kurtyka with his request that we publish it:

Mayor Margo:

Read this article in El Paso Matters and pay attention. No one gives a shit about your handicap at EPCC.  The situation is desperate.  Get on you phone and call your friends who can get food here.  Got it?  Good.

Hospital census

May 12, 2020

I’ve been looking for a summary of local COVID-19 hospital statistics.

Mr. Moore over at ElPasoMatters.com recently published this:

While we have not had explosive growth in hospital admissions we are getting worse.

Please be careful.

Trust us

May 11, 2020

EPISD is preparing to sock it to us in the next tax year.

Their tax rate for interest and principal payments (I&S)  on debt was 24 cents per hundred dollars of valuation for the 2017-18 fiscal year.

They then asked the voters to move 10 cents of that over to their maintenance and operations tax rate for the 2018-19 year while promising to keep their total rate the same.  The voters agreed.  The district kept their promise that year and left taxes flat.

Then for 2019-20 they raised the I&S rate to 20 cents per hundred.

Now for 2020-21 they are proposing an I&S rate of 26 cents per hundred.

So much for trust.

We deserve better
