Regarding the bond election, resubmit it saying it’s for a new soccer field with Modelo and Tecate to be sold at all events and it will pass with flying colors.
Exactly. As if our property taxes being jacked through the roof wasn’t enough, now they want new bonds for schools that rival the Taj Mahal for all these wet backs to use and trash.
Hell no… we had portable classrooms growing up, they would make these bean ers feel right at home.
I am a white Republican and your comments are despicable.
@Brett Crawford-
What’s despicable is criminal thug savages inundating our community with their uncivilized ways, and refusing to respect the values and laws of the country they claim to want to call home. Rapes, murders, noise, trash dumping, drugs, and social fraud are all through the roof now- and one demographic it the main offender.
Is that what you want to live around or have in the schools with your kids?
Or have you been living under a rock for the last 10 years and still believe it isn’t happening?
Tired of getting raped on taxes when I see all these beans porch sitting and drinking Modelo every day as I come home from my 12 hour shift.
Considering those are the same people you claim are illegal and can’t vote, how would marketing beer and soccer help pass this school bond?
Have you ever read anything before you post a retarded response? Show me where anything was said about illegal or not being able to vote. On the contrary, what was said is that they can and will vote provided it’s a soccer field and the possibility of another day of getting drunk was on the table
