All Quiet on the East Texas Front

Has anyone noticed how quiet the pro-bond people have been on this blog. I haven't seen any new postings or comments from them for some time. I wonder if this means that they have said all they have to say, i.e., we want your tax dollars to build out new school and we want them now regardless of how you feel about being over taxed. Perhaps they are just confident that they have won the battle and feel that nothing else needs to be said.

Do we need a re-newed campaign?

Quiet on Front

The front may be warming up. The hearing of Richardson vs. JC and the 4C's was well attended. Many of those pushing for the school bonds were there. Some of them reminded me of a lynch mob in an old western.

Some of the emotional ones and their babies were present. Why were the babies out of school at 3PM?

I know the TAKS season is over, the baseball season has started, the babies want to play in the park and that lots of seniors are ready drive from all over the county to walk the health track in our new park. I also know that it will soon be open season on property owners in our town and county.

As most of you know the park and school bond issues involve a lot of the same characters. It seems to me that a mob mentality has taken over many of them. Some of the seem willing to inflict the maximum about of economic harm on almost everyone to benefit a few. Some of them do not see the harm that will be done to themselves and to their own children by leaving them with future debt.
