(Ed.'s Note: We have always said that the boundaries of the Point Isabel School District which stretch all the way down Highway 48 to the Port of Brownsville's quartermaster building unfairly takes away the tax income from plants in the port to the Brownsville ISD while the city has to put up with the truck traffic, educate the workers' children, and all the other ills associated with an industrial port. However, some of our readers, like the one who sent us this warning below, think that the move to redraw the PI ISD boundaries is a way to get at that school district for not giving the LNG plants tax abatements. Who is right?)

Does this mean that Los Fresnos should also be worried? Some of their school district tax base goes into Brownsville's city limits.
