One more piece of evidence to prove the PID monsters lied

At the invitation of My Hero, I spent the weekend in Dallas casually celebrating my birthday. She lives just east of downtown Dallas and close to a green space called Griggs Park. When I lived there, we used to meet at Griggs to let our dogs play together there, but shortly before I moved the city temporarily closed the park for renovations. Those renovations are now complete enough so that the park has reopened and this weekend we once again took our dogs there for a couple of romps. During one of them, I was struck by a plaque, pictured above, that is part of the archway main entrance to the park. As you can see, this plaque says these park improvements were financed by a PID (the details of which can be found here).

Now if you have been following what history will refer to as "The Pillaging of New Kyle Homeowners," you might recall the crooks that helped shape Kyle’s PID policy say such a PID could not exist. It was impossible. Could never happen. In fact, the lying lawyer who represented the Development Planning Financial Group, the outfit that will administer collect the graft from Kyle’s PID actually stood at the podium during Kyle City Council meeting and said such a PID could not happen.

By the way, this PID illustrated above, the one Kyle leaders say can’t exist, is also administered, not by some private company composed of liars who will extort a fee from residents like we have here, but for free by a volunteer board comprised of the very citizens who petitioned for the PID.

Kyle Mayor Todd Webster has been throwing a childish hissy fit of late because he believes two members of the City Council he will not name publicly, (but I will: Diane Hervol and Daphne Tenorio), have been asking too many questions during City Council meetings. I'm thinking just the opposite. I believe more questions need to be asked. About everything. I’m wondering if council members had asked even more questions when the PID policy was being discussed whether the duplicity behind the policy might have been exposed. If someone had simply asked "Since you have blatantly lied to us about what PIDs can and cannot be used for, what else are you lying about?" Probably not. The fix was in. At least Hervol and Tenorio possessed the intelligence, the courage and the morality to vote against the Kyle PID policy which forces new homeowners to pay twice for infrastructure improvements to their neighborhoods.

But there is still a way the other five – Webster, Mayor Pro Tem David Wilson, Shane Arabie, Damon Fogley and Becky Selberra — can still redeem themselves and prove to the citizens of Kyle they are not hypocrites. They could each obtain a petition and secure the signatures of at least 50 percent of the residents in the neighborhoods where they live and form a PID so they, too, can repay the city for their infrastructure installations.

And what do you think the odds are of that ever happening?
