1. Taxpayers' Dollars – please respond by March 2, 2023

Currently the AISD has the highest M&O rate of any ISD in Tarrant County. In February staff did a budget adjustment of close to $1 million to start planning for the paying recapture (“Robin Hood”). How fiscally responsible should the board be with taxpayers' dollars? How high of a priority should fiscal responsibility be? What are your suggestions to be more fiscally responsible?

I wish this issue were taken more seriously by the Arlington ISD administration management. I do think that each individual Arlington ISD Board member  hasn't been all that responsible with taxpayers funds. We have had multiple board members over the years that have constantly been raising taxes just advance the interest of the wealthy and corporate interest. I don't wanna sound harsh but wasting all of tax payers dollar on Football and other athletics is not the solution it is the problem. We instead should be focusing on investing tax payers dollars to ensure that students succeed in the key area's of their academics that they would actually need to either advance their education further or seek employment. We have many Arlington ISD Students who transfer into institutes of higher education like Tarrant County College who can't  pass the TSI assessment in mathematics or reading or writing which is a problem. I think the issue concerning fiscal responsibility should be a high priority on the Arlington ISD Board. I can think of many ways that Arlington ISD Board could be held accountable for their actions. I would support requiring  AISD Board members to be elected from single member districts or implementing term limits or require the district to balance their budget. I do however think some of these ideas could worth pursuing if the AISD board can't get their affairs in order.

 

2. Transgender – please respond by March 9, 2023

Which locker rooms/restrooms, etc., should transgender students be using? Should there be a District policy? Why or why not?

I do agree that there should be District policy that would properly accommodate the needs of these students. I do think that for the most part that the Texas legislature has adapted discriminatory policy in the public education system that would punish school districts for providing accommodations to these students. I do know that these group of students would prefer to have transgender restrooms on each campus. I do think it is a question of budget at this point. I think this would either require building new faculties on each AISD campus or change the label's on existing restrooms with alterations. I have heard a few years ago that some campus administrators has allowed transgender students to use teacher's or staff restrooms. I don't have a definite answer to these problems but this issue will continue to be a topic of discussion in future school board elections.

Mr. Crow ran for City Council District 7 in 2020.

 

1. Term Limits Committee – please respond by August 27, 2020

A Term Limits Advisory Committee was named and fast tracked recommendations to the city council with four meetings, and over 13 hours, between July 14 – July 28. Do you have an opinion of this whole situation? Do you have an opinion of the outcome?

Did not respond.

 

2. Sales Tax – please respond by September 3, 2020

This November's ballot includes a measure to increase the sales tax another ¼ cent to 8.25%. Would you have voted to put this on the ballot? Why or why not? How do you plan to vote on this issue? Why?

I am opposed to the sales tax and no I would not put this on the ballot at all. Instead I would have rather seen another ballot Proposition in its place that would amend the Arlington City Charter to require the City to adopt a balanced budget each fiscal year.
With that being said we shouldn't be raising taxes at all so I see no alternative but to work to amend the Arlington City Charter to prohibit the City of Arlington From spending more than its income this balanced budget amendment would provide taxpayers some relief. but as far as the sales tax ballot measure is concerned
I will definitely vote no at the polls and work to eliminate any future spending that may proposed by the City.

 

3. Density – please respond by September 10, 2020

How do you feel about changing commercially zoned properties to multi-family zoned properties? What if the area already contains many, many apartments such as southeast Arlington in the Hwy 360 corridor? How do you feel about RMU (Regional Mixed Use) zoning and its potential 100 units/acre?

I am not completely opposed to this however I am not to familiar with the zoning regulations. I do believe it is important not to overcrowd a nayborhood with to many apartments the more we construct new apartments the higher the property taxes will be and it is best not to raise them any further than they have to be and  I am not opposed to Regional Mixed Use but I will need to research this further to determine if it is right for arlington residents.

 

4. Transportation – please respond by September 17, 2020

Via's December 2019 contract renewal has increased the geographical coverage area to 41% (and is available to 49% of the population). Meanwhile, the contract is paid 53% by Arlington taxpayers, 31% by Federal Grant, and 16% by the people taking the rides. Is this fair to the taxpayers, most of whom are not covered, but are paying 53%? How do you plan to vote on future funding? What is your solution?
