Easy Money - to Spend!

by Ron West

        Well the report is in and our $75,000 of tax money paid for a suggestion to change the name of Texas Highway 26 (aka:  Grapevine Highway) to Boulevard 26.  This  obviously more trendy name will make everything ok south of loop 820.  (Pardon my confusion if the street is still Grapevine Highway north of Loop 820?)  The "study" also bought a suggestion for new "shops at 26" where ever that is and who ever will pony up the money to build them.  Wonder if the Post Office will require existing businesses to notify their customers and clients of their new address?   (Both NRH and RH jointly paid for this valuable input.)

        Boy, don't you feel better already knowing that it just cost $75,000 for these valuable suggestions.  The real price tag of the other changes Trevino and Johnson want to spend your money on, will be a LOT higher.

       Revitalization is just another word for runaway spending by our locally closed government with too much power to tax you and I.
