Go Windcrest Texas

 A new Windcrest Scheme has just surfaced.  This is the agenda item for Closed Session: 1 City Council will convene into a closed session as authorized by the Section 551 07 of the Texas Government Code to consult with the City Attorney concerning settlement of the portion of the pending lawsuit between the City and Michael White and his related entities and concerning settlement of contemplated litigation over approximately 111 acres of land owned by the City and the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation  The agenda only refers to the 111 acres, the newly annexed property surrounding Rackspace.  Nothing new there.  But the resolution council passed for this agenda item  also Included another 180 acres, located in San Antonio, which included the Target Tract on Walzem AND the property were WalMart now sits.  Plus the vacant property along Walzem Rd at Eisenhouer Rd and around the nursing facility on Eisenhouer Rd.  These properties are referred to as the 180 acre tract.  The

 Windcrest Candidates have all addressed Windcrest Taxes.  The truth of the matter is for the past 8 years the Tax Rate was decreased.  The previous mayor touted he lowered taxes, but actually he lowered the rate.  Your taxes still went up, but by a smaller amount had the rate not been decreased.   Now, because of the lower tax rate the coffers are nearly empty and council is asking you to pass a $7.4 Million Street Bond!  A $2 Million Fire Equipment Bond and the Water District has a $7 Million Bond.  That's $16.4 Million .  Who is going to pay these Bonds?  Windcrest residents with higher water rates, higher taxes.    The Water District has said during their board meeting, what they don't spend they could put into a bank and draw interest.  Dumb, Dumb.  Would you take out a loan so you could put the money into your bank to get interest?  Pay 5% and earn 1.4%, sure sound dumb.   Everyone is talking Bonds.  All this chatter has citizens confused as to exactly why the Bonds ar

Recommend voting NO for both Proposition Bonds.  The Street Bond is for Three streets (3) and some repair to three more streets and you pay for 20 years.   Windcrest streets will not last 20 years, plus the Bond does not address how to pay for the REST of the streets.  The Bond Rating has not been determined so the interest Rate is all guess work at this time.  The charts in the mail out used 4% interest rate, which totals some $4 Million in Interest Rates over the years.   Where are the Trip Slate Candidates?   Those guys on the Trio sign have NOT attended the Meet the Candidates forums nor did they participate in the Debate.  Every Candidate was invited, so why did they not attend.      The Invite include the Water District candidates.  They also chose NOT to attend.
