Dear Editor,Over 70 percent of the road bonds on the Nov. 4 ballot have an untested financing mechanism that gambles on future growth over the next 20 years. It turns Hays County into a speculative road district that needs new growth. If that growth doesn't come, then it falls on us.
Rather than roads, let's focus on the ever increasing challenge of providing an adequate water supply, which is only aggravated by more development, brought on by more roads.
Vote against the road bonds. We need and want incentives and tax breaks for more (dare I say a minimum) rain water collection systems for any new developments in Hays county. I'm voting against the road bonds. Are you?
Ed Pope
Hays County Resident
