THE PUNCH LIST – Latest News on Harris County Pct. 3

UPDATE: This version reflects an update to the 2018 Flood Control Bond Projects. Be sure to follow the Commissioners Court meetings to remain in the know on bond updates!  

LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Howdy,
Happy July, y’all! This month as we celebrate America’s freedom and independence, I believe it’s an appropriate time to remind you where your tax dollars are being spent. Commissioners Court and department leadership will soon be discussing the budget for next fiscal year, making it a crucial time to be tuned into county government happenings.
Last year, I proudly represented Precinct 3 residents and their wishes not to waste money on new progressive programs. This resulted in Harris County receiving the same amount of money it received in the previous year. While my colleagues went on for weeks about the dangers of not taking more of your money, you should know that this past April, our budget office reported millions of dollars worth of surplus still remaining.
I believe Harris County has to do a better job in prioritizing your safety over social programs. As a County Commissioner, I also believe Harris County has to do better in focusing on your infrastructure and flood prevention. Above all else, I believe these should be done with the utmost transparency.
Below you’ll find some helpful information on current spending. Regardless of the circumstances, my team works hard and continues to find fiscally responsible solutions to maintain our level of service. We are passionate about what we do and remain focused on the task at hand, which is to serve you.

Thank you,
Commissioner Tom Ramsey
