I haven't had a reason to go inside either. Instead of actually giving your water bill to someone at a window, they now have a drop box in the parking lot. I guess the window attendant had better things to do than just take payments for their over priced water.
I totally agree, seems to me like the city keeps raising taxes for one thing or another. To build this or that. I agree the city coud have waited to build this new city hall. It really isn't glamorous, yet the city employees seem to get raises every year? Apparently they work very hard, let see I have asked for various information for various officials of this city and have yet to recieve them for 6 months, or even a respond. And they have a drop box for payments. I have sent an application to vote to the city secretary, but yet no response, that was 5 years ago, imagine that?Yeah they work really hard....
I totally agree, the amount the city workers receive is ridiculous! Then they want to raise taxes for other establshments to be built. But it is for the good of the community right? (Wink) RIGHT! Seems to me it's like good for the employees at city hall instead. Have you seen the amount these people make? The City Manager over 50.00.hrly and the city secretary over 20/hrly. Imagine that, what a way to spend our hard earned taxes!! Yeah keep raising taxes for water or something else.I am sure the city employees are smiling!
I'm an Information Systems Pro (since 1999) I was also for 11 years a club musician (weekend warrior)vocals / lead guitar. My love for Texas is such that I gave up an excellent position, a home and financial security to move back. I was in New England for years- way too cold for a real Texan!

I really think this project could have been put off several years
