El Paso Taxpayer Revolt – ARENA VOTE TODAY!

Posted on August 13, 2024

[[{“value”:”

Today the City will vote under agenda item 48 on an ordinance placing an item on the November 5 ballot rescinding funding for a downtown arena. The item reads:

“An Ordinance ordering a Special Election to be held in the City of El Paso, Texas to determine whether to revoke the City’s authority to issue bonds for the Multipurpose Performing Arts and Entertainment Facility voted at the City’s November 6, 2012 Election; making provision for the conduct of the election; and resolving other matters incident and related to such election.”

The City stands to save a gigantic sum, preventing a major tax increase.

It is time to put the arena out of its misery!

Please write to the Mayor City Council to support item 48:

mayor@elpasotexas.gov; district1@elpasotexas.gov; district2@elpasotexas.gov; district3@elpasotexas.gov; district4@elpasotexas.gov; district5@elpasotexas.gov; district6@elpasotexas.gov; district7@elpasotexas.gov; district8@elpasotexas.gov

Also, please speak to agenda item 48 today, in person or by phone. Instructions are at the top of the agenda.
