Blanco voters soon will be deciding whether to approve a first step in a 30-year plan to improve the city’s aging infrastructure.
Two bond propositions— totaling $16,636,000—are on the May 3 general election ballot. Proposition A calls for “the issuance of bonds in the amount of $4,411,843 for street improvements and the levy of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.” Proposition B is for water and sewer system improvements through “the issuance of bonds in the amount of $12,224,157...and the levy of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.”
So, what does this ballot language actually mean for Blanco residents, both in terms of taxpayers’ personal finances in the relative short term and planning for longer-term infrastructure needs?
