Re: Total Price Tag of Harris County Flood Bonds ($2,500,000,000)

Man, that is a lot of money. Billions with a “b”.

J.J. Watt would have to do his Hurricane Harvey fundraising 68 more times to get more than what our elected officials want to blow out – in one election. And, no guarantee that the County is going to spend it wisely.
Hold on! If dollars were seconds this would be 78 years and 4 months of saying “1-mississippi, 2-mississippi…” with no breaks. A lifetime of seconds.
Is that bond number about $1000 for every man, woman and child in the city?
