Amarillo water tax vote urged amid debt concerns
The piece links Amarillo water needs to two charter amendments on December 21. It argues raising the tax limit to 1.80 enables the $1,750,000 water bond and city extension, citing Goethals support, mayoral and commission backing, Moody’s stance, and bond market opposition to low credit. It urges voters to back both amendments for better water supply and city credit.
