Hi again folks.  Need your feedback.  I would like to know what if any things that you think should be the highest priorities for the next 2 years for Highland Village.  One of the things that I think we should look at is some kind of tax relief for our seniors.  Since the tax cap by state law cannot be revoked during the life of the homeowner, that does not look like an appropriate strategy if there is a downturn in the economy.  No matter what our economy does, we still need strong police and fire as well as a qualified staff for financial and infrastructure needs.  Considering the aging population of Highland Village we could put our community in jeopardy if we exercised the tax cap for seniors.  However, that only applies to property taxes.  My thought is that we might look at a rate structure with respect to our utilities that might offer a break.  Maybe even a rate that does not kick in for water an sewer until so much is used.  This would still allow us to collect fees for high water usage but for low water usage for the seniors they would pay little or no fee.  Let me know what you think either clicking on the email  link on the right or send separately to my email address fred@buscheformayor.com.  Remember to vote May 10. 

Hello again folks.  Wanted to let you know that there are 3 additional links added to the lower right corner of the site, The News Connection, The Flower Mound Messenger, and the Alternative Energy News.  Thought these might be of interest to you all.  If there are others that might be of interest, please email me fred@buscheformayor.com and I will see if we can add them.  Talk to you later and oh by the way, don't forget to vote May 10, 2008.  I am doggedly determined to be the best Mayor that Highland Village has ever had.

Thanks for coming back to the site.  Thought I would update you a bit.  The press release discussing my candidacy has been sent out and we are in the process of visiting with Bob Weir of the News Connection as well as others. 

 Need to ask a couple of questions of you all.  Would you like to see some additional links? Thought I might add one for an appropriate EPA site, plus the Highland Village site, and was thinking that maybe AARP might be good.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for coming and don't forget to vote.  

Welcome to my new site.  I hope that you enjoy your visit.  I will try to update you with changes relative to the campaign as well as events that are planned.  Please remember to vote on May 10.
