TELL OUR CAMERON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT TO VOTE NO TO TAX ABATEMENTS FOR ANOVA LNG


TELL OUR CAMERON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT TO VOTE NO TO TAX ABATEMENTS FOR ANOVA LNG
The Issue
According to Annova LNG, the value of their Port of Brownsville facility will be 2.9 billion dollars. At .39 on 100. valuation, this would generate $11,310,000. yearly tax. Annova wishes to cap the value of their facility at 25 million. That would yield a yearly tax of $97,500.
If they do get FERC clearance to build here then we will need every tax dollar owed at the full value of their facility. The county would need the money to ensure that we are equipped to deal with any hazard their company would create. This billion dollar company should not be given 11,212,500. of our money each and every year.
The cities of Port Isabel, Laguna Vista, South Padre Island along with the South Padre Island EDC, the South Padre Island Business Owners Association and the Laguna Madre Water district have all adopted resolutions opposing the LNG plants at the Port of Brownsville. The Surfrider foundation opposes the project and Sea Turtle Inc has adopted a letter of concern to FERC.
The following residents of Cameron County vehemently oppose the installation of any LNG plants at the Port of Brownsville and demand our Cameron County Commissioners Court to deny any and all tax abatements to Annova LNG as listed on item J., Chapter 381 abatement agreement of the September 10th, 2015 agenda of the Cameron County commissioners court.
We will not stop fighting LNG. We will be heard. Supporting LNG will cost anyone running for election the vote of the people. We urge our County Commissioners Court to hear our pleas. TELL LNG NO!
