Gas bonds on Amarillo plan spark election talk
Amarillo officials push a plan to condemn and swap local gas properties for city ownership funded by 6 percent revenue bonds likely over a million dollars. The scheme would pledge water and sewer capital as security, while taxes stay legally separate from bond obligations. The News-Globe plans an editorial on the issue as citizens weigh low gas rates against public financing. An accompanying column recalls Morse lore and local characters as the writer muses on public discourse and community quirks.
