Collin County voters decide on $683 million bond election
that would help fund road projects and upgrades for the medical examiner’s office, animal shelter, justice facility and parks.Proposition C: $13.3 million for the medical examiner’s facility project, with 6.9% of registered voters’ ballots tallied, say 56% want the court improvements, 66% voted yes on the animal shelter expansion, 58% said yes to the medical examiner’s projects, 63% voted yes on the park projects and 76% want road improvements.
“I don’t personally know anyone who buys their house with cash,” Fletcher said. “Mortgages are necessary, just like bonds are for capital expenditure large items.”“Firstly, the need is now, in an extremely fast-growing county. Secondly, that would mean we would have to increase taxes, and actually overtax in order to create a savings account for the future,” she said. “That would take many years to accumulate what is needed now.
“Of the top 15 most populous counties in the state, Denton County is the closest to matching our low rate, and they are approximately 43% higher than Collin, meaning we have been extremely frugal with taxpayer’s money and shown our good stewardship,” she said. “We don’t waste it.” “I will vote yes on all propositions,” Milligan said, referring to the Collin County bond package. “It’s for public service—improving the infrastructure is something the government should be doing.”“We’re expanding, so we need additional services and roads,” Loar said, adding with a chuckle that it wouldn’t hurt to fix the potholes as well.
