Is it "ok"?
As a tax payer I have real concerns that elected officials, such as a Harker Heights City Councilperson, are making financial decisions about my City knowing that they owe the US Government money. Harker Heights has five elected city council representatives. Guess who? info@danapeakpark.com
What's the real story.....
A Different Theory
I got a call earlier today from an old business partner who raised an interesting question: What if BS never actually wanted to keep taxes down at all — and instead lobbied or persuaded three council members to raise the rate by six cents?
It's no secret he'd rather not be living here. So why not stir up division within the City, at the taxpayers' expense?
As my friend Jack put it: maybe BS is still smarting from his last two failed election bids, and has chosen to sow discord among Harker Heights voters by getting his "friends" on the council to push through a six-cent increase.
Jack made another sharp point: "If BS genuinely cared about property taxes, he'd be going after KISD — they collect more tax dollars than any other entity in the area."
Harker Heights Taxes...
Guess who wants to raise your taxes? Yep
"The vote was 3-2, with the higher rate of 58.75 cents per $100 valuation favored by Councilmen Brian Burt and Jesse Myles (I forgot to pay my taxes), along with Councilwoman Roxanne Flores."

It's Your Garbage....
Harker Heights Councilman Brian Burt is recommending that the City of Harker Heights go to a once a week garbage pickup.
This stinks....really stinks.

Remember (BS) Scottie
Well folks, its the SOS. BS keeps mentioning "3-month reserve policy". Nope, wrong, we ain't buyin what your selling -- there is no 3 month policy.
Here's another example of BS that BS Scottie is telling the community:
Is BS a licensed Texas REALTOR? Nope
BS says: "I'm sure he'll be selling the parcel for much more than the BellCAD tax appraisal amount." BS - just so you know,
Mr. Reider isn't selling the parcel... the owner of the property is selling the property. Mr. Reider isn't the owner. More BS, from the King of BS -- BS Scottie....
Quote of the Year.
Mayor Pro Tem Sam Halabi told Councilman Myles "he should be more proactive. You can’t just decide, I’m going to take off. You should give a timeline for traveling, to be fair to the other council members. I travel about three times a year ... and I always let the city know when I’ll be gone... If you don’t have the time to do the job, maybe say goodbye.”
BS - It's ok to voice your position as long as it's factually correct but when you are repeatedly misleading the citizens it's unacceptable.
