Special bond issue election expected in Sept.

Tuesday, Little Rock city leaders informally agreed to move forward with asking taxpayers to approve a property tax millage to raise $105-million to pay for street and drainage projects. Voters have approved the tax millage for capital improvement projects since 1958, but this year, the city wants to drop the rate to 3 mills from 3.3.

Kill the plans for the technology park and spend that money on something worth while, like streets and drainage. It seems to me that street repair and drainage fixes should take priority over some stupid technology park. City leaders are wanting the public to see only one thing, the decrease in the millage. What is that decrease going to cost you? $22M, thats what. The $22M for the technology park is going to be wasted. Thank God I do not live in LR.

this looks like a millage that's already being paid, and they are asking to continue it at a reduced rate. It's not a new tax, it's a reduction of an existing one.

Please City Board, you are only re-doing the loan. Our grand-children will pay for this. I hate to say it, but 50% of the City Board needs to go for the good of the people.

Please, we have given all we have. City Leaders, please take care of business. I watch all of you on "City" T.V., and some of you act like my grand-children. Some of you act like Jr. high students. I believe 50% of the City Board needs to go, it is so sad.
