Current Texas law is trapping cities in unfavorable transit agreements with no way out but financial ruin. Cities whose citizens vote to leave these agreements are required to pay potentially millions in exit fees, calculated without regard to a city’s actual contributions or service use. State law further restricts voters from putting this issue on the ballot more than once every five years limiting local control over transit decisions Lago Vista is contributing a 1% sales tax toward Capital Metro we would face an exit fee that isn’t based on our contributions It is based on a population-based calculation of our share of CapMetro's sizable financial obligations across its entire service area Just a few years ago, in 2017, Lago Vista’s exit fee was estimated to be around $900,000. By 2022, it jumped to $6 million CapMetro’s own numbers show our city does not receive $6 million worth of transit service yet we would be expected to pay that amount to leave we know that advocating for HB 3643 will put us up against CapMetro’s taxpayer-funded lobbyists and government affairs staff The city of Austin and CapMetro employ lobbyists and government affairs teams — paid for by taxpayers — to fight against reforms like ours Small cities should not have to fight government lobbyists funded by their own tax dollars just to get a fair deal The unfair exit fee led us to take a closer look at our current transit service CapMetro’s website claims to serve all of Lago Vista, but residents know that isn’t true. CapMetro recently sent us an unpublished report showing the areas of Lago Vista they do not serve Recently, the City Council learned that many of the Lago Vista riders for CapMetro's Pickup service an on-demand shared shuttle available in certain zones are high school students going to school or the local Sonic because it is nicer than school buses and runs on more convenient schedules This means Lago Vista taxpayers are paying twice for student transportation: once for school buses But it's unclear if CapMetro drivers have all of the same training and security measures that school buses are required to have Any city should have the ability to leave a transit authority without being financially trapped The exit fee should be proportional to what a city has contributed and the assets that the transit authority actually has in the community and we shouldn’t have to fight taxpayer-funded lobbyists to get it please join us in calling for a fairer Texas Saum is a member of the Lago Vista

announced his commitment to Texas Tech The DCTF three-star chose the Red Raiders over offers from Arizona State and Minnesota "I feel like Texas Tech is a great fit for me," Griffin said Griffin expressed his admiration for Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire a former Texas high school football coaching legend citing McGuire's influence as a significant factor in his decision "He is a great guy," Griffin said and he is a really cool dude from what I have seen." Griffin is a standout multi-sport athlete at Lago Vista capturing the gold medal in the 4A 110-meter hurdles at the UIL State Track Meet in May "(He's) one of the most athletic kids in the state," Lago Vista head coach Craten Phillips said Griffin could play anywhere in the secondary "They would like to have me at corner but they have also talked to me about possibly moving to safety," Griffin explained Griffin could make a significant impact at Texas Tech continuing his family's college football (and hopefully) NFL legacy.  What this commitment means for Texas Tech: Griffin's commitment is an eye-opener for Texas Tech His versatility in the secondary strengthens the defense reflecting head coach Joey McGuire's successful strategy of recruiting players who possess multi-sport traits and multi-position versatility Griffin's pedigree and skill set make him a prospect with an extremely high ceiling.  We've been the Bible of Texas football fans for 64 years By joining the DCTF family
