A nearly 400 million dollar bond election is coming up in May, and most people in Laredo don’t even know it’s happening. It’s controversial, it’s complicated, and it could endebt the city for decades—but there’s barely any public discussion.
In this episode, we talk with George Altgelt and Hammrod from Hammrod News about what’s really at stake, who’s behind the push, and why voter turnout might stay dangerously low. From there, we shift into broader analysis, including what’s happening in the Trump administration and how national politics are affecting Laredo politics.
If you live in Laredo, this is a conversation you need to hear before the election. Listen and share—it matters more than you think.
