The Hays Free Press reached out to both candidates running in the Jan. 25 special election to replace Daphne Tenorio on the Kyle City Council. Here’s what Brandi Heindl and Michael Tobias had to say.
1. The city has embarked on an ambitious goal of a 2020 bond election for the purpose of acquiring a new police station that will likely include a tax increase. What do you see as the best way to present this to voters?
Heindl: I think this has to do with choices about where we want to spend our dollars. I think that it should be presented to voters as, a just that, a choice on the priorities that we have as a community much like we do with every budget item, every capital expense, every year. I want to involve the community in these decisions and be their voice when it comes to fiscal policy of the system. In the end, we use budgets to make decisions about where our interests, priorities and future rest.
