Top issues during term (6)(General)
Delinquent Tax Collections and Resale Properties
Generates over $1.9 million in tax revenue and targets abandoned properties to restore them as tax-paying parcels.
CBP Border Security Right of Entry
Federal funding covers project activities, with right-of-entry granted on county-owned land below the bridge.
legislative update
Depending on what passes in Austin, we could see shifts in local tax allocations or new grant money coming our way.
public corruption
Corruption drains taxpayer money into criminal pockets and forces the city to spend more on internal investigations and oversight.
immigration enforcement
Expect a potential hit to the local budget as the county shifts funds to support federal enforcement efforts.
healthcare infrastructure
This project brings new jobs and keeps local healthcare dollars circulating within our own city instead of going elsewhere.
