VILLARREAL MAILER ELIMINATING PORT TAXES CAUSING WAVES

"Back in 1936, the Port of Brownsville was built with a promise to the people – that once it became self-sufficient the tax would go away.

Here we are nearly 90 years later. The port is thriving, growing, and succeeding. But families are still paying that tax. 

I believe that a promise made should be kept. This isn't about politics. It's about fairness, accountability and keeping our word to the people. Let's honor that promise – together."
