>> YES, FIRST UP WE HAVE MS. FERN MCCARTY.

>> MS. MCCARTY. FOR THE RECORD THERE IS A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. I WILL DEVISE WHEN THERE IS ONE MINUTE AND I WILL START WHEN YOU START.

>> WELCOME MISSIONARIES, NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO VOTE ON YOUR PERFORMANCES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE THE COUNTY JUDGE, CORTEZ, ELLIE AND EDDIE ARE UP FOR

[00:20:04]

REELECTION. THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TELL THESE AND YOU EACH ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT THEY THINK OF THE ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUSLY VOTED FOR FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE MOST RECENT UNANIMOUS SUPPORT WAS FOR THE HILLS ALL GO COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT IS WHO INCREASES OUR PROPERTY VALUES BY 60% DURING A SHELTER IN PLACE AND CLOSING OF NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES.

YOU ALL GOT PAID DURING THAT TIME BUT THESE NONESSENTIALS DIDN'T. A MATTER OF FACT, THEY LOST THEIR BUSINESSES. THE WORLD IS EXPERIENCING A PANDEMIC AND BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED BUT PROPERTY VALUES GO THROUGH THE ROOF. HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I HOPE VOTERS WILL TAKE IN CONSIDERATION FOR VOTING: THE COURT REPORTERS, THE TRANSCRIBERS ARE ALL MAKING ALMOST, IF NOT, $100,000 PLUS. THERE IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT COULD BE REPLACE THE SYSTEM. TWO, DIRECTORS OF THE FINANCE WAS GIVEN $18,000 RAISE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. THREE, IT TOOK THREE YEARS TO CREATE AN EMPLOYER COMPENSATION POLICY AND IT IS SUSPENDED EACH AND EVERY MEETING TO GIVE SOMEONE A RAISE.

FOUR, APPROVAL OF BOND REPAYMENT PLAN THAT REQUIRES A SEVEN CENTS INCREASE EACH YEAR FOR 30 YEARS TO PAY FOR THE COURTHOUSE.

FIVE, SENDING THE STAFF TO AUSTIN TO LOBBY FOR A NEW TAX LAW TO BYPASS VOTERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING A SOLID WASTE COMPANY TO EMPLOY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES.

SIX, THE USE OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO CREATE AN AMBULANCE COMPANY THAT WOULD CREATE A MONOPOLY AND PUT PRIVATE COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS. THIS PLAN IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT. THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS LEGAL ISSUES AT PLAY. WE ARE TIRED OF SEEING THE GOOD OLD BOYS AGAIN. SEVEN, THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS OVER AN EMPLOYEE THAT HAS NOT COME TO WORK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BUT KEEPS GETTING RAISES AND HAS A TRAVEL ALLOWANCE. IT IS ONE OF THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO FIX BECAUSE IT IS BENEFICIAL TO YOU ALL. IT IS LIKE JUDGES WHO PERFORM MARRIAGES AND ARE ALLOWED TO KEEP THE FEES.

WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF THOSE SITUATIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

THE INTENT TO HOLD EACH OF YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR EACH OF YOUR ACTIONS. THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES YOU ALL DON'T THINK THEY ARE BUT THEY ARE OUT THERE AND I HOPE THAT THEY REMEMBER EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR VOTES AND WHEN ELECTION TIME COMES UP SEE WHO IS THE BEST PERSON THAT IS RUNNING FOR THAT POSITION.

THANK YOU. >> MR. MAGNUS.

>> NEXT UP WE HAVE LAURA GET HERE IS.

>> THERE IS A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND I WILL ADVISE WHEN THERE IS ONE MINUTE AND I WILL START WHEN YOU START.

>> THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, JUDGE AND COMMISSIONERS. I AM GOING TO ADDRESS THE CONSTITUENTS SINCE I SEE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN WHEN PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING. I'M NOT SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROPERTY VALUES ESTABLISHED BY THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO SPENDING BY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND NOT THE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY.

HOW CAN PROPERTY VALUES INCREASE WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO SHELTER IN PLACE FOR 18 MONTHS? WHEN NONESSENTIAL BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND MANY WILL NEVER REOPEN? BUT CONVENIENTLY, THE BIG CHAIN AND [INDISCERNIBLE] STORES, AS YOU KNOW, REMAINED OPEN. PEOPLE CANNOT EARN A LIVING BECAUSE THE COUNTY WAS SAVING US FROM A HEALTHCARE DISASTER THAT WE KNOW, THAT WE NOW KNOW WAS A PLAN TO MAKE ANY MONEYMAKER FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

BUT DURING THIS TIME OF NATIONAL DISTRESS THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT SAID THAT PROPERTY VALUES INCREASED AND WE MUST ALL PAY MORE AS A WAY OF PROTECTING THE PEOPLE FROM A FUTURE HEALTH CRISIS. HELD LAGO COUNTY INITIALLY RECEIVED $151 MILLION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IT HAS RECEIVED MILLIONS MORE TO ASSIST IN THE RECOVERY AND I WANT TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHERE THAT MONEY WAS SPENT SO WHY INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES AND MAKE A VULNERABLE POPULATION HOMELESS? 40% OF OUR POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY SO HOW ARE THE ACTIONS

[00:25:01]

OF THIS COUNTY, COMMISSIONERS COURT, GOING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER? DO YOU THINK THIS IS FAIR? MANY OF US WHO WATCH YOUR ACTIONS DO NOT BELIEVE YOU CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE. THIS COMMISSION VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT THE ACTION OF HILDAGO COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES 30-40% AND YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT THE 2022 VALUES ARE ALREADY ONLINE AND THEY ARE HIGHER THAN THIS YEAR SO GOOD LUCK, GEORGE CORTEZ AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, ON THE NEXT ELECTION. WE, THE PEOPLE, HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US.

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

THE REASON ALSO IN THE CLOSING OF SCHOOLS, THE REASON WE ARE DISCUSSING THE CLOSING OF SCHOOLS AT ACCOUNTING MEETING IS BECAUSE ACCOUNT HE ORDERED THEM TO CLOSE.

THEN AFTER 12 MONTHS OF BEING CLOSED THE HILDAGO COUNTY JUDGE MET WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXTEND THE SHUTDOWN. ANNENBERG SCHOOL DISTRICT PROVIDES SERVICE TO A PROXIMALLY 33,000 STUDENTS AND EMPLOYS A STAFF OF 4300 MEMBERS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN THE COUNTY AND IT HAS BECOME OBVIOUS THAT THE DISTRICT WAS PROVIDING MORE THAN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES WHEN PARENTS BEGAN STOPPING TO PICK UP BREAKFAST AND LUNCH BAGS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN.

BELIEVE ME THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION IS THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE MADE AN IMPACT IN YOUR ACTIONS AND YOUR ACTIONS DO NOT COINCIDE WITH YOUR DUTIES AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

THANK YOU. >> MR. MAGNUS.
