Dicky's "Un-official" Beach Poll!

Picture below: Dicky's "un-official" poll.! (I made it up! but it's just as valid as Shexnailder's!
Posted by Picasa Today's Corpus Christi Caller/Times has a story on the front page(of course!) concerning the results of a "push poll" paid for by wealthy Austin devloper Paul Shexnailder, the money man behind the proposal to ban driving on part of the City of Corpus Christi's beaches.
This poll indicates that 65.8% agree that the section of beach would be much safer without cars.
It claims that 88.7% believes the city should continue to encourage
tourism related development on the island.
According to this "poll" 65.3% believe that Shexnailder's resort will help other local businesses grow.
60.1 % say they disagree with the idea that removing traffic from the disputed 7,200 feet of city beach is too high a price to pay for pedestrian safety and tourism.
69.5% agree that Corpus Christi has room for both a pedestrian only beach and vehicle access beaches.
This "poll" was paid for by Shexnailder and not surprisingly yielded the results he was looking for. It did not ask how people would vote if the measure comes to an election and it was tilted towards voters who identified themselves as Republicans. It did not mention the
fact that there already are numerous pedestrian only areas on our local beaches. Some of the questions asked on the poll were not released to the public and it appears the poll was targeted to a certain demographic. Basically this is more bogus bullshit!
