RE: ReBuild Houston Will Go Before Voters Again on November Ballot with Tweaked Language
.
As the article points out, the November ballot won’t change any of the current ‘rain tax’ so what’s the whole point of this lawsuit and constant hand-wringing? Either kill or modify the rain tax OR go home.
.
I’ll admit that I voted against this back in 2010 but, as the article’s last paragraph noted, $1.8 billion has come through the program ($785 million from the rain tax) and $1 billion of debt has been paid. Fiscally speaking, this isn’t a bad outcome. I just hope the projects done with the money are as effective.
Who’s behind that house at 11434 Memorial? Whoever it is must have a lot of patience. It has been under construction for almost three years.
11434 Memorial makes sense on a handful of hectares and its own little fiefdom.
That house is ugly – you can’t buy taste!
