Travis County ESD2 commissioners’ decision to deny the community the right to vote was not totally unexpected. We anticipated that the commissioners would try to find any reason to deny the district the right to vote, but no specific reason was given.
What can we expect from a board that has threatened our public safety in the past by using scare tactics to discontinue ambulance services unless the city pays millions of dollars. This decision by Travis County ESD2 is consistent with their history of using aggressive tactics to get what they want. We are disappointed by the ESD2 actions and will explore all legal remedies.
