Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Midland public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Future Lone Star Animal Sanctuary
Roughly 25 acres near East Cynthia Drive and Fairgrounds Road were platted for the new home of the Lone Star Animal Sanctuary. A rezoning to agricultural estate is still in process, so the sanctuary isn't a done deal yet.
School Funding Litigation
Midland ISD is suing the state to challenge the 'Robin Hood' funding system that siphons local property tax dollars away from our classrooms. This legal battle could decide whether your tax money stays here to fund local schools or gets sent elsewhere.
IT cost savings
Midland's city government is saving big bucks, to the tune of $870,000, thanks to a recent IT system upgrade. This move means taxpayer money is being used more efficiently.
