FORM. >> JUDGE A COMMISSIONERS MAY ONE PARTICIPATE. MS. FERN MCLARTY.

>> THERE'S A 3 TIME LIMIT I WILL ISE WHEN THERE IS ONE MINUTE. BEFORE REESE GET STARTED IF I MAY PLEASE I BUT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT THERE ALWAYS WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC FORM. THE NEED TO BE FULLY OR WITHOUT RULES OF THE FORM. MANY COUNTY INDIVIDUALS PROVE THE COMMENTS MADE SHALL PERTAIN TO CHRONIC BUSINESS AND CANNOT BE THREATENING IN

NATURE. >> COMMISSIONERS. I TAKE NO PLEASURE IN TELLING THE PUBLIC THE REASON FOR THE GROWING POVERTY RATE AND HELD ALL COUNTY IS THE SPENDING BY THIS COMMISSION. AMOUNT OF BONDS SOLD BY THIS COMMISSION IS GROWING AND AS PER THE PLAN THIS COMMISSION CONTINUES TO SELL MORE BONDS EACH YEAR. JUST A LITTLE EACH YEAR SO IT WILL NOT BE NOTICEABLE. THE AMOUNT IS NOW 428 MILLION AND GROWING. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY IS FOR THE COURTHOUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER FOR WHAT IT IS SPENT. THE FACT IS THE GROWING DEBT INCREASES TAXES AND MORE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR HOMES.

INSTEAD OF BUILDING THIS BIG HUGE BROWN BOX. YOU WOULD'VE BUILT A SMALLER BOX. AND USING SOME OF THE MONEY TO IMPROVE ROADS, EXTEND SEWER LINES, INSTALL SPEED MOMS OR PROVIDE LIGHTING FOR PEOPLE IN THE COLONIALIST. IN OTHER WORDS MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE PEOPLE WANTED VERY MUCH NEEDED.

ALSO, USING THE OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO PREVENT THE GATHERING OF INFORMATION IS NOT WORTHY OF HIS TALENT AND TIME. INSTALLATION OF A DRAIN LINE FOR THE COURTHOUSE IS ACCOUNTING PROJECT. WHEN THE PROJECT BEGINS AND THEY START DIGGING PEOPLE WILL CHANGE THEIR BUYING PATTERNS. THE TAX INCREASE WILL CONTINUE IN STORES WILL CLOSE. ENTER THE PIR. I ASKED QUESTIONS. I NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT THE TRAFFIC

[00:25:04]

IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT RECOMMENDED BY ELLEN G ENGINEERING. SCHEDULE A PUBLIC MEETING. WHAT DOES THE COUNTY ANTICIPATE INITIATING PUBLIC MEETINGS FOR THIS PROJECT? REPORT CLOSURE OF 281 ACTIVITY. WE WERE WONDERING IF THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I DO REPORT ON THE CONSTRUCTION DURATION TIME. I DO UNDERSTAND THIS AS A COUNTY, TEX.AND I BELIEVE ANNA BERG IS IN OUR CITY. TODAY ON 11 A YOU'RE GIVING OUT INFORMATION WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T KNOW APPEARED WHAT IS SO SECRET THAT WE'VE ASKED THAT IT CANNOT BE GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC? THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE ON 107 APPEARED THERE IN EDINBURG. MAJORITY OF YOU EXCEPT FOR ELLIE I BELIEVE DON'T LIVED IN EDINBURG. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO OUR BUSINESSES. THE COVID HAS A MUST PUT ASUNDER AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO DO THAT AGAIN. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

THANK GOD FOR THE CITY OF BUNDABERG FOR HAVING A COUPLE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS. AND SHAME ON YOU APPEARED EACH ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY PAYS COUNTY TAXES. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. INSTEAD THIS COUNTY IS HIDING BEHIND THEIR ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION. WHEN YOU WRITE THEM AND YOU'RE GIVING THE INFORMATION IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED. I'M NOT ASKING FOR LAND THAT'S BEING BOUGHT RIGHT AWAY OR ANYTHING.

JUST FROM THE COURTHOUSE TO PEREZ MARKET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF EXPRESSWAY. THOUGHTS ALL THE PUBLIC IS ASKING FOR. NOT ASKING FOR ANY SECRETS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. MR. FLOREZ?

>> MR. FLOREZ THERE'S A 3 MINUTE TIME LIMIT. I WILL

>> MY TOPIC IS SAFETY IN SCHOOLS. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, 6 QUESTIONS APPEARED AS HIDALGO COUNTY CONTINUING TO RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS, NUMBER ONE AMONG VACCINATED FOR COVID? NUMBER 2, WEAR A MASK IN SCHOOL ? NUMBER 2, DO YOU KNOW THAT THE TEXAS EDUCATION CODE SECTION 37.0023 PROHIBITED AVERSIVE TECHNIQUES. INSTRUCTS TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS TO STUDENTS.

LET ME READ A FEW OF THESE PROHIBITED TECHNIQUES TO YOU.

NUMBER 2. SAYS THAT YOU CANNOT CAUSE PHYSICAL PAIN BUT USING ELECTRIC SHOCK. NUMBER 3. SINCE YOU CANNOT RELEASE A TOXIC NOXIOUS OR ON PLEASANT SPRAIN OF HER FACE. NUMBER 7, THIS IS THE BIG ONE. TEXAS EDUCATION CODE NUMBER 7 STATES THAT NOBODY CAN PUT A BAG, COVER OR MASK OVER A STUDENTS FACE. TO UNDERSTAND THAT MAKING CHILDREN IN SCHOOL I'M SORRY MASKING CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS HARMS THEM PHYSICALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. THE GREAT COMMISSION IN LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IS DELAYED SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN THEY AND THEIR TEACHER HAVE A MASK OVER THEIR FACE. YES, SIR NO? YES. NUMBER 4. SCHOOL SAFETY MEANS THAT THE BOYS CAN USE A GIRLS RESTROOM WHENEVER THEY WANT.

THAT'S A QUESTION. YES, SIR NO ? I SAY THEY SHOULD NOT.

>> 5. LOVING CHILDREN TO BE INDOCTRINATED WITH GENDER NEUTRALITY NONSENSE AT AN EARLY AGE IS HARMFUL TO THEM. YES, SIR NO? I SAY YES. NUMBER 6. STUDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE AND

[00:30:01]

FREE IN AMERICA. TEACHING THEM TO HATE EACH OTHER AND THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSORS AND OTHERS ARE OPPRESSED. SUCH AS CRT DOES IS HARMFUL TO THEM, YES, SIR NO? I SAY YES.

REMEMBER THAT THE CITY'S SCHOOL DISTRICTS, STUDENTS, TAXPAYERS AND ALL CITIZENS ARE PART OF THE COUNTY OF HILL DONGLE.

MAYBE YOU CAN STEP UP AND DO YOUR PART AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

AND NOT JUST SAY, HEY FOLKS, WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BOXING CLINIC. COME AND GET YOUR PORTION SHOT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. GO AHEAD AND TRY IT. IT'S NOT HARD. STAND UP TO DOCTOR MANGLING IN THE BIDENS CDC. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME.
