It is my understanding that Franklin High School is getting a new stadium and a new swimming pool. Why is it this occurring when Coronado High School is in greater need of new facilities?

I agree with El Paso’s new “zero tolerance for drunk driving” policies but what exactly will be done to follow through with this aside from setting fines? Will the city provide public transportation to run at night to avoid getting people to drink and drive or does the city expect people to simply stop going to bars?

You recently co-signed a letter asking President Obama to remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, does that mean you’ll seek to fully legalize marijuana use within your district, whether it be strictly for medical uses or otherwise?
Despite having one of the best engineering schools in the country in our district, there are almost no engineering jobs to be found in El Paso, forcing competent graduates to look elsewhere for financial opportunity.

Given all the growth and development in the county, what do you see as the role if the county in regulating this growth? Should the County continue the status quo or is it time to engage in a more progressive approach including incorporating smart growth principles into the County’s land use regulation?
I am interested to know if the county has a sold disaster and emergency preparedness plan in place. It appears in my view that we normally just react to situations as they arise (as in RUN get whatever sandbags you can because it’s flooding!) and it would be comforting to know that there was a plan for conceivable events, i.e., train derailment, flooding, and perhaps even more serious/catastrophic events (especially considering out military base here). Thanks!
