In this article Cantrell brings up that part of her platform would be to take the special taxing district for the Convention Center and use the funds for other projects she prioritizes... Pisses me off a little bit hearing this. Any thoughts besides hoping this doesn't happen?

I know it's a tad political, but definitely caught my eye and wanted to bring it up here.
It looks like she is proposing redirecting a portion of the funds but being this has to approved by the state it aint happening. I do like the idea of folding the Sewerage and Water Board into city hall. August 5th proved the organization is a disaster. And im definitely in favor of taxing non profits more. they dont contribute anything to the city yet use our infrastructure. thats just not fair to everyone else
