McKINNEY ISD & COLLIN COLLEGE ELECTIONS:
MAY 6, 2017 GENERAL ELECTION
McKinney residents have the opportunity to shape the future of our great city through a general obligation bond election that provides critical public safety, infrastructure and growth enhancements. I encourage you to take the time to vote in this election.
As you know, McKinney has been recognized as one of the best places to live in the country; however, we are at an important juncture that requires infrastructure to responsibly and thoughtfully accommodate the growth that will continue.
Recently, the McKinney City Council (both current and past members) worked with the city, under the direction of the Interim City Manager, to identify and lay out a vision for the future. As a result of this effort, the mayor and council have called for a general bond election, so the city can see this vision through and provide funding for this strategic roadmap. There are seven individual propositions, the sum of which provide approximately $160 million for use by the city.
If passed, the bonds will not raise taxes. We believe these items are fiscally responsible and provide infrastructure needed to grow in a smart way. Furthermore, they help position our city to economically compete with neighboring cities by leveraging a key asset only McKinney has - the airport.
