Top issues during term (11)(General)
Oncor Transmission Line Project (PUC Docket 59475)
The project could impact property values and potentially increase fire-related insurance or mitigation costs for landowners.
infrastructure opposition
Fighting this in court or through state agencies could end up costing taxpayers a significant amount in legal fees.
Flood Recovery and Recognition
No direct financial impact, but acknowledges significant community impact and recovery efforts.
golf course fee increases
You'll pay an extra $1 to $2 per visit for twilight rates and private cart usage if you play at Delaware Springs.
infrastructure damage
Expect a heavy hit to the city budget and potential tax implications as repair costs pile up.
utility rates
Your monthly utility bills will go up by 3% every year through 2031.
surveillance cameras
Taxpayers are off the hook for ongoing subscription and maintenance fees tied to these private camera networks.
public notice
Staying informed helps you avoid unexpected costs or property value shifts that can come with sudden zoning or development changes.
code enforcement
Families already struggling with repair costs are now facing additional city fines and potential legal fees.
event cancellation
Ticket holders are out of luck for the rest of the weekend, and local businesses expecting a massive tourism boost are taking a major hit.
redistricting
While there's no direct hit to your wallet, having a new rep could change how federal grants and infrastructure funding flow into our area.
