Street BOND being Proposed in Windcrest.

In 2016 Mayor Baxter addressed citizens during council meeting ( see video here)  He said the Streets are Not That Bad.  Listen for your self.
  Now fast forward to August 30, 2017, city council agenda:
"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 is part of the street committee and made this statement during the August council meeting.  If Citizens want their street repaired they will have to vote for the Bond.  

   Jim Shelton, the same fella that has been saying for the past three years.  Street repairs will begin after light up.  How many times have you hear this statement?.

Citizens of Windcrest have been led down the proverbial path.  Put another way, "Windcrest Citzens are up the proverbial waterway without means of locomotion."

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

 Now the rest of the story as Paul Harvey said:  Council has no idea how many Millions would be in the Bond.  When asked if the Bond would be limited to only Streets, the answer was No, we could use it for whatever we wanted.

Windcrest deserves Leadership with Integrity.

 Let your voice be heard vote for Change in November.

Baxter and Jacobi Spell TROUBLE

Alan E. Baxter and Gerd "Jake" Jacobi are nothing but trouble for Windcrest.  Voters got rid of both of these trouble makers,  now they are trying to convince folks they should be elected again.   During the years Baxter and Jacobi ran city council, the Street fund was depleted to cover their scheme of lowering taxes and lowering permit fees.  They bragged about paying cash for a few street repairs that were completed, but this month, all of those previously repaired areas were Replaced again.  The streets were neglected and the street fund was depleted which caused the need for a $7 Million street bond. Baxter and Jacobi also hired their hand picked Fire Chief Weiderman, to completely destroy our volunteer fire department.  Over 100 years of fire fighting experience was fired.  Then Weiderman proceeded to dismantle the fleet of FD vehicles.  First up was the Ladder Truck.  Every minor discrepancy was written up then he announced the Ladder Truck was not-serviceable.  Wei

Windcrest Taxes & Water Bill

 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
