So the purchase of a rodeo arena is critical government business right. We want our government wasting our tax dollars on a rodeo arena when they are already over $20 Million in debt.. Good job dumb asses. Rodeo arenas, baseball parks, splash pads, elderly centers, bus rides, migrant schools are truly not any benefit to the entire population and they create an ongoing burden of expense year after year. We are so far in debt from the previous idiots that the new idiots don't have a prayer, and the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round....
Entitlements have the entire country in debt
The ITC center serves as office space for the planning department and I would guess it brings in $20 to $30K a year from events in the ball room, the only place in town to have a large event at. The ITC center is still a big red ink spot on the city books EVERY year and will continue to be. Is this a necessary evil? Would private investment dollars build a loser, no , only our idiot tax dollars can afford to subsidize the loss every year.
The golf course is a beer guzzling chicharron eating establishment that is run as a bar and has been kept in the shadows behind the Border Wall for good keeps by the drunkards that inhabit the place.
It is an embarrassment that it is a city owned property and is so far from being public friendly. A county commissioner is the manager now if that tells you anything. Bells, whistles and fireworks should be going off as this is a recipe for failure as our county commissioners court has proven to be the most inept group of citizens over the last decade.
Does the golf course turn a profit year in year out? Could it?
But the rodeo arena in all its dusty glory was a great decision by our fine political leaders to repay an old friend in need. I would guess that the payback on the arena would be close to .... NEVER.
The word politics is derived from "Poly" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood sucking parasites, so it goes that those who are to smart to engage in politics are Punished by being governed by those who are dumber
