We Say "NO" to the Proposed Corpus Christi Street Fee!

The citizens of Corpus Christi wish to inform the Corpus Christi City Council and Mayor Nelda Martinez that we oppose completely the proposed street fee ordinance that it is considering to enact for the purpose of collecting $15 million for street repairs.

Rather, we believe the proper solution is for the City to implement the process known as Lean Six Sigma. According to conservative estimates this would result in the following:

  • It will generate an estimated $40-50 million per year in reduced spending that can be utilize to repair our city streets with a new fee being assessed.
  • Improving the delivery of all city services
  • It will reduce the overall size of city government
  • It will serve as an economic stimulus resulting in the creation of hundreds of private sector jobs.

We want the City Council to vote no on the street fee ordinance and instead use Lean Six Sigma to reduce wasteful spending in the Corpus Christi City budget.

The feedback regarding the proposed street fee continues to highlight the widespread desire for fiscal responsibility within our city government. Many of you have reached out to share concerns about the financial burden this ordinance places on residents. We are currently preparing to present these arguments to the City Council to advocate for the implementation of Lean Six Sigma instead.

Enough with the new fees already. Fix the budget before taking more from my paycheck. CC streets are a mess but this isnt the way to pay for it.

Keep your hands out of our pockets. Maybe if they stopped wasting funds on dumb projects we would have money for the roads.

Fix the potholes but do not charge us extra. City hall needs to cut the fat.

Total incompetence from the council. Six sigma is a no brainer. Stop wasting our money.
