Local Establishment's BIG Plans For Bayfront!

Have you ever visited or do you live in Corpus Christi, Texas?
Remember how nice the drive once was along Shoreline as you drove on towards Ocean Drive? Well, you better remember it because it is unlikley we will ever see it again!
The great god DEVELOPMENT has infected our community leaders. It is worse than gold fever. In the name of "creating jobs, increasing our tax base, increasing growth, etc." they are very willing to sell out the interests of the public in favor of big time developers, corporations and certain influential, wealthy citizens.
The bayfront development and the Padre Island beach traffic closure in front of the sea wall are the latest results of this malady.
The politicians and developers forget, or don't care, who really owns public properties.
Unfortunately they can count on the complacency of many, the greed of some and the gullibility of others to usually get away with their schemes.
This is doesn't have to be true. Because public support wasn't there other schemes have gone down in flames, such as the proposed "land mass" debacles some years ago.
The recent smoking ban in restaurants is a good example of common sense emerging victorious when the public is informed and the measure is put to a vote.
Get involved, register and vote, write letters, call public officials. The only thing that can counter cubic money is public arousal.
