The El Paso County Commissioners Court is planning to authorize a total of $894 million worth of bonds by the end of this year, which will explode our property tax.

They voted to allow UMC to place a $396.6 million bond on the November ballot as well as a $323.8 million County bond that is stuffed with pork.

Add to that the $174 million certificate of obligation they are planning for September.

Judge Samaniego and Commissioners Leon, Stout, and Coronado seem determined to burn us down financially.
