Petition Kick Off

The city of Pflugerville is the largest city in Texas without control of its own fire and emergency services?

The city of Pflugerville has been getting its emergency services from Travis County Emergency Service District 2.

But at the beginning of this year, 2022,  Travis county ESD2 stopped providing advanced life support services and ambulance transport services to the city of Pflugerville, claiming they did not have enough money.

We voted in May of 2014 to give more sales taxes to Travis County ESD2 to support advanced life support services.

Since Travis  County ESD2 suspended ambulance services for residents inside the city limits,  we should stop paying the sales tax to ESD2, for services that are not delivered.   

We can give that funding to the city of Pflugerville to establish its own city owned emergency services department.

From October 2022 to January 2023, sign the petition to add a ballot proposition to remove the half cent sales tax from ESD2 and transfer that to the city of Pflugerville to help fully fund emergency services for the city of Pflugerville.

In May 2023 election : Vote Yes to ESD2 Prop A to remove the one cent sales tax going to Travis County ESD2.  Vote Yes to City Prop A to give the city of Pflugerville the half cent sales tax to fund emergency services.
