Why Mexico Matters, Midnight Basketball and Other Updates from Representative Byrd

Representative Susie Byrd just sent us this update:

Hi:

I just updated my blog at www.notesfromdistrict2.blogspot.com. I included some information about the impact of Mexico on our tax base. I am also looking for people who would volunteer for our Midnight Basketball program and provide some information about the program.

I wanted remind you that the billboard issue hits council this week and will be scheduled for discussion at 1 P.M. on Tuesday in the City Council Chambers.

We are starting budget hearings. If there is a particular department that you are interested in knowing more about, budget hearings are a good forum to get information about the budgets of a department and what our expectations are for that department. Also, a good time for you to talk to us about your expectations for a department. You can get a schedule of the budget hearings for each department at www.elpasotexas.gov and get individual presentations for each department at http://www.elpasotexas.gov/budget_2010_presentations.asp.

Susie

City Council Representative, District 2
