    As usual the city reps want to decide how to use the money( giving for the people affected by the floods) their own way and not the way the money is meant for. Disaster recovery, not city improvements and preventive measures. If the city wants preventive measures, then get with the tax paying citizens and see what they are willing to support. Leave the grant money for those who lost so much due to the recent floods.
    So far city improvements have been for the benefit of the transients going to the college. The downtown areas has loss lots of business and the city has loss great amounts of cash from slow sales. Yet the tax paying permanent residents are not represented in these decisions. There is no real growth in permanent citizenry since no real housing is being built. Apartments for he growing transient population is not real population growth. We lose more and more permanent residents to Kyle and Buda due to san marcos city"s lack of concern for true future permanent citizens. No single family housing growth stagnates a cities true growth and base wealth.
    Now the city of san marcos wants to squander the permanent residents disaster relief money for their own goals.
