Constitution day

September 17, 2019

Today is Constitution day.

Our governing document was signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787.

Thirty nine men signed the document.

I thank them.

There is a link at the top of this page that will take you to an electronic version.

I can’t help but wonder how much better off we would be if some of our legislators actually read it.

Traffic jam

September 16, 2019

Are our El Paso police instructed to not direct traffic at accident scenes?

The was an accident on Mesa the other day that brought the roadway down to one lane from three.  The police that were on scene did not direct traffic.  Instead they allowed the traffic lights to control the intersection.

The result was a long line of cars waiting to get through from one direction and no cars from the perpendicular direction.  The police stood around waiting for a wrecker.

Hopefully our readers can let us know what the city’s policy is in this regard.

Water park not decided

September 15, 2019

The water park/hotel people were given 18 months to decide whether to take our $97 million dollar gift that they can use to build a $100 million hotel.

See Water park incentive totals.

The clock started ticking in November of 2018.

Could it be that they want more?

Overpaid?

September 13, 2019

Our county commissioners evidently want to raise their pay to $115,000 per year each.

For what?

We deserve better
