Bond Coming and Not 007

 
 Mayor Baxter addressed citizens during council meeting (2016) and said the Streets in Windcrest were Not that Bad.  Listen to the City Council video recording yourself  ( see video here)

 Now August 30, 2017 agenda states:"The City Council has determined that there is a critical need for street repairs and improvements in the city limits that cannot be paid for through street maintenance sales taxes and normal property taxes. In order to meet the critical need  the City Council could call a Bond Election "

  Jim Shelton, street committee and the mayor have been saying for the past three years.  Street repairs will begin after light up.  How many times have you hear this statement?.

 Jim Shelton stated during the August council meeting.  If Citizens want their street repaired they will have to vote for the Bond.  

  The Bond issue is scheduled to appear on the November 2017 Election Ballot.

Council has no idea how many Millions would be in the Bond.  When asked if the Bond was strictly for streets, the answer was No, we could use it for whatever we wanted.  Note the words "and improvements" in the agenda wording.

Several Citizens have stated the Tax Rate should not be lowered, that's money for our Streets and Alleys, yet each year Council has lowered the Tax Rate.  Mostly to get Elected many say,  now council state there is not sufficient property tax funds to repair the streets.

 A true example of mismanagement.  

 Let your voice be heard vote for Change in November.
