You know I love to complain about the way the City of El Paso handles things, but this project is something they should be very proud of.

El Paso City Council could make it possible for teens and veterans to ride free on Sun Metro buses. It's a good idea. Here's why.

Did El Paso taxpayers get gypped on the Downtown DigiWall? We do some fact checking.

To pee or not to pee, that is the question. The answer is, if you need to pee, you won’t be able to at the newly renovated San Jacinto Plaza.

Last year, a lot of fun was had at the expense of the "Shawver Park Christmas Lights Display". Former City Rep. Eddie Holguin asked the City at the last minute for funding for a holiday lights display that was so dismal, it had the national news media making fun of it.

Mean Girls and musical chairs – that’s what El Paso City Council has been like lately, but it looks like things are going to settle down a bit.  City Reps who asked to be moved away from City Rep Lily Limon have decided to go back to their regular chairs, and save taxpayers thousands of dollars in the process.

Eddie Holguin proposed the lights display in the Lower Valley park on November 12th, almost 3 months ago.  When the lights display was approved, it was with the stipulation that Rep. Holguin would get corporate sponsorships to recover the costs for putting on the light displa
