HOW TO GROW A BUREAUCRACY: GUESS WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING FOR YOU!

By -
Did you know that, if the Cameron County Healthcare District becomes a reality,

 You, as a taxpayer, will be paying for the following:

 1.  A well-paid director for the program.

 2.  An assistant director to help the director

 3.  A collector to facilitate the collection of your taxes.

 4.  A support staff composed of secretaries, clerks, administrative assistants, etc.

 5. Attorneys

 6.  Nurses

 7.  Technicians

 8.  Accountants

 For the above staff members, you will be paying for:

 1.  Salaries

 2.  Recruitment

 3.  Advertising

 4.  Marketing

 5.  Travel

 6.  Education

 7.  Tuition

 8.  Retirement

 Some of the things the district will be able to do are:

 1.  Create a new tax-line item, which will affect senior citizens whose taxes are presently frozen.

 2.  Issue bonds and impose ad valorem tax.

 3.  Use the power of eminent domain.

 4.  Build buildings and contract for mortgages.

 5.  Grant money to any person for medical or scientific research.

 6.  Sue other individuals or entities.

 Does this sound like a good idea?  I don't think so, especially when such a district will duplicate services already in place to provide indigent care through presently existing agencies.

    This is incredible. Why isn't this being talked about and opposed in greater numbers? How can I be involved in fighting this thing?

Cameron County Healthcare District

By -
The number one issue now facing our county is the proposed boondoggle known as the Cameron County Healthcare District, which has great potential to bring about soaring property taxes and the imposition of financial hardship on those who can least afford it, namely those of limited income, senior citizens and young families. Designed to favor those with political clout and surreptitiously navigated through the Texas legislature, this scheme would foster a new bureaucracy, which would be nearly impossible to get rid of once in place.  The blueprint for this new taxing district would allow it to have the power of eminent domain and to raise the property tax assessment anywhere from 25 cents to 75 cents per each $100 of assessments.  This is intolerable, and especially so since it would essentially preempt existing agencies presently providing services the district would duplicate. Please get the word out to the hard-working, tax-paying citizens of Cameron County.  We mu...

In taking the message of why the taxpayers of Cameron County should vote against the proposed healthcare district, Friends of Cameron County Residents are often asked to specify what ongoing government healthcare programs in the county are supported or backed by state and federal tax revenues.  The following should illustrate most clearly that those of limited income are not without resources to deal with health concerns in Cameron County. Those seeking assistance with healthcare are able seek help from any of the following:   1. The Health Resources and Services Administration (a federal program which connects low income people with low-cost or free medical care). 2. The Texas Department of Aging and Disability (a state program focusing on care for the impoverished elderly and/or disabled). 3.  CHIP (provides access to low-cost medical insurance for children in families earning too much to qualify for Medicaid). 4.  Medicaid (a sources of healthcar...
