San Juanistas Victory...Careful... Today Us...Tomorrow You

Being from San Juan, I enjoyed yesterday's news regarding the vote against a toll road being built through our fair city. I contacted the representatives from the San Juanistas, a local group that's keeping tabs on what's going on with the city. They responded by saying that the issue is pretty much done with as far as San Juan is concerned, but according to their web site, they also urge surrounding communities to keep a close watch on their city councils to make sure they will not be the next one's on a toll road proposal. I contacted Chris Bell's camp, he is the Democratic candidate for Texas Governor as well, just to see where he stands on the issue of toll roads. His operations director Mr. Tim McCann emailed me this morning with information regarding Chris Bell's stand. He told me Chris Bell strongly opposes toll roads especially the recent proposals that have been going through current governor Rick Perry's office. There's more information on Chris Bell's web site concerning an essay he wrote a while back concerning these issues. You can either click on his ad on my sidebar or go directly to http://www.chrisbell.com/insights/toll_road_boondoggle to read his essay. There's a few things I found very interesting to know about how Rick Perry's office runs things in our State. I'm sure many of you will find it interesting as well.
