This is a color-blind city, people get along. I think that is clearly the strength of El Paso. I like the weather. What I don't like is the declining quality of life. Kids can't find parks to play in, baseball teams can't practice, soccer teams can't play.
Taxes keep going up and services keep getting stretched.
That's a big concern. That is absolutely essential, I am in total support. There are tremendous possibilities in economic development with UTEP in first tier status. The research dollars would flow into this community, spawn new business start-ups, spawn entreprenur activities. It's like a double whammy.
