>> THANK YOU. >>.

NEXT UP WE HAVE MISSED FERN MCLARTY.

>> GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS. I THINK THIS COMMISSION OWES

[00:15:05]

IF ANOTHER TAX WILL BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.HY MUST IT BE CREATED IN AUSTIN AND WHY ARE THE PEOPLE NOT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON THE ISSUE? WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER.

THE PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANOTHER TAX.

WHAT THE COUNTY IT IS GOING TO DO IS FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION FROM ONE COMPANY I UNDERSTAND.

EVERYONE IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS PLUS THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT DO NOT HAVE A SERVICE WILL BE FORCED TO PAY.

IN MY PREDICTION, ONE OF YOU WILL BE RUNNING FOR COUNTY JUDGE, BUT BY THE TIME THAT HAPPENS, THE COUNTY WILL HAVE SPENT MILLIONS ON THE INTERNET, THE COURTHOUSE AND MORE FACILITIES AND SERVICES THAT THEY DO NOT WANT.

THE ONE THING THAT OUR LAST COMMISSIONERS COURT HAD IN COMMON LIKE JOE FLORIS WAS THAT THEY WERE ALL WELL LIKE AND SUPPORTED, BUT THEY LOST. I THINK FORCING PEOPLE IN THE COLONIES TO PAY HIGHER TAXES IS A BAD LITTLE MOVE THAT WILL NOT WIN FRIENDS IN THE NEXT ELECTION.

A GOOD LITTLE MOVE IS TO PLACE A NEW TAX ON THE BALLOT AND ALLOW THE PEOPLE TO VOTE. THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION IS THAT THE COUNTY IS SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY AND THAT IS WHY OUR LAND VALUES HAVE ALL INCREASED BY 60 PERCENT.

LOOK AT YOUR APPRAISED VALUES. TODAY ON THE AGENDA HC.

ALL OF THESE ARE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HIRING 76 PEOPLE READ THOUSAND 806. [INDISCERNABLE] . WHY NOT ALLOW WALMART, WALGREENS, CVS AND THE COUNTY CLINICS TO DO THE VACCINES? WHY IN THE WORLD ARE WE HIRING 76 PEOPLE? ADDING $10,250 TO A CONTRACT WHICH MAKES IT NOW 41,000? 10 B AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 NEW CONTRACTS WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. COVID-19.

1,429,001 38 10 C $5,089,197. 14 E PURCHASING BIOHAZARD CONTAINERS ALMOST $60,000. EACH ONE OF THESE IS FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ARE YOU ALL CHECKING? NO, I'M GOING TO HEAR THAT THEY ARE GRANTS.

BUT EVERY PENNY THAT COMES TO THE COUNTY OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY IS FROM THE TAXPAYERS. OUR PROPERTY VALUES HAVE GONE UP. AGAIN, WHY NOT GIVE A COUPLE MILLION AVAILABLE TO THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT YOU CLOSED.

IF THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS AND THEY CAN CREATE PERMANENT JOBS FOR PEOPLE? Y'ALL DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT.

IT IS ALWAYS WASTING THE MONEY. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> .NEXT UP WE HAVE GARY GROSS.

>>. MR. GROSS HAS ALWAYS THERE IS A TIME LIMIT OF THREE MINUTES AND I WILL ADVISE YOU WHEN THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE MINUTE. YOU MAY START.

>> GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. SADLY, WE HAVE HAD A WAR ON THE POLICE IN THISCOUNTRY . I AM GLAD TO SAY IN THIS COUNTY. I DON'T THINK IT IS HAPPENING BUT IT IS HAPPENING IN OUR STATE.

I TALKED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THEY TELL ME THEY WANT SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY SO IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN AND BEING A MEMBER OF THE HILDAGO COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY. WE HAVE AN OUTREACH, THINGS WE DO OUTREACH FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT IS NONPARTISAN AND THIS SATURDAY AT 10 A.M. AT THE GOP HEADQUARTERS 1109 WEST NOLAN.

WE WILL HOLD A BARBECUE FOR THE POLICE TO COME AND FOR THE MCALLEN POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE WANT TO DO THIS FOR OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MAY BE ONCE A MONTH.

I AM HOPING THAT THE COUNTY, YOU GUYS WILL SUPPORT US, MR.

[00:20:02]

THIS IS NONPARTISAN. MY FEELING IS IF WE SHOW SUPPORT FOR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT IF WE CAN GET THE COMMUNITY TO DO THAT THEY WON'T GET KILLED. I THINK WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE THAT THE POLICE ARE THE BAD GUYS AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS, OR THEY SHOULD BE DOING THAT PEOPLE THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE DOING BAD THINGS TO THEM.

WE NEED TO PUT AN END TO THAT AND THE WAY WE PUT AN END TO IT IS SUPPORTING THEM AND SHOWING OUR SUPPORT.

I REALLY THANK YOU GUYS DO A GOOD JOB OF IT AND I AM HOPING THAT SOME OF YOU WILL SHOW UP AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE A NONPARTISAN SUPPORT. WE CAN ALL GET BEHIND IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE MY LIFE TO DO THAT AND ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELPED ME WITH THAT.

WOULD APPRECIATE. AND SO, THAT IS WHAT I IN HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR THAT. AGAIN, THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT THE HILDAGO COUNTY HEADQUARTERS, 1109 WEST NOLAN AT NAM YOU CAN GO TO THE HILDAGO COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY FACEBOOK PAGE AND IT IS ALL THERE.

SO, I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING AND I WOULD LIKE THE COUNTY TO PUT IT UP ON THEIR WEBSITE.

I HOPE THE CITY OF MCALLEN DOES AND I HOPE THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN ALL UNIFY AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME AND I HOPE YOU WILL HELP. .

>> DANIEL ANYMORE PRESENTERS? >> THAT WILL BE IT.

>> THANK YOU. OKAY.
