My thoughts on the proposed tax increase.
Posted in City Issues.
Monday night city council held a meeting to discuss the proposed TAX INCREASE. I have been saying for years how the city seems to waste money and when they want to do something the money is there, but when other programs need money there is NONE available.
This has always bothered me and before the flood I was posting about all the things the city has wasted money on. Bellaire is one of the RICHEST cities in Texas. Money is not an issue.
The ISSUE is WASTE and the perceived value of the items the city spends the money on. Most people cant see anything done with the money so there is natural outrage. There is no transparency and I think it is time there is someone on city council who will speak out and call the city on the waste.
The same potholes and poor road conditions I wrote about 2 years ago, still exist. How about we spend the money on things people need and we FINALLY improve the infrastructure of the city. No more half baked fixes to save money, that requires multiple repairs which adds up to cost more money long term.
The city of Bellaire needs the money so we can continue to maintain the high standards residents have come to expect. We need to PAY the Police and Fire personnel at the top of the pay percentage and we need to stop comparing ourselves to West University or anyone else.WE need to set the bar, instead of always trying to copy it!
WE NEED CHANGES NOW! On November 7th elect someone who will stand up for your needs and will hold city council responsible for their choices.
