Vote NO on Bonds and TRIO Slates

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.

Introducing Windcrest Candidates

  The Windcrest Light News has hosted a Meet the Candidates forum each week since candidates filed for elected positions.  The Forum included City Council candidates and the Bexar County Water Board candidates.    A special thanks to The Windcrest Light News staff for sharing the video recording of candidates.  Several candidates chose NOT to attend this open Public Forum so citizens could hear their views, goals, qualification and field questions from the attendees as well as questions from those watching from home.  There is a video link assigned to each candidate that attended the forum.

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
