Every week, it seems like Brutus is about to run out of ideas and then the City Council Agenda is published on Friday and PRESTO, he is invigorated. This week as you can see, they outdid themselves.
I thought last week was the ultimate. They decided to sue the Texas Attorney General because he ruled that they had to turn over their documents, letters and papers between city official and The Hunt and Foster group regarding the Triple A ball team and the stadium. As Brutus so aptly said in ” The truth will not set you free”. If you write it on our time, with our machines, about our city, on our nickel, it is our property. So to prove us wrong, they’ve hired an Austin Law Firm with our tax money to stop the voters from obtaining this information they rightly deserve.
Miss Lilly wrote and interesting editorial about how insulted she is that we don’t trust her and have no right to comment on their Emails. In the same edition, we read about a County Judge and county employees who we trusted, involved in bribery scam to deprive our mentally challenged children of adequate care. Can you get much lower? Who can you trust Miss Lilly?
The best way to avoid and prevent this from happening again, is to clear the air, open up your correspondence. What is there to fear? Or is there?
Last night I attended the closing act of the Insights Museum, soon to be known as “Wilson’s Rubble”. What a fabulous place. I’m sure you brought your children and grandchildren there and just let them roam. So many ways to learn science. A young surgical resident was introduced explained, how much this place meant to her and her career. Some the generous El Paso Citizens were honored for support of the museum. The Politicos, old and new, were noticeable not a part of this group.
There is however, the promise of a Children’s Museum in the Recent Bonds which according to Brutus, with the changes in the oversight committee and the use of Bond funds for other ventures, such as the overages already in the Stadium and the move, we won’t see a new museum in our lifetime. So several generations of children are going to be without a science museum. But remember, they at least can go to the stadium and learn to chew, spit and scratch. Nice exchange Council. Again another way to care for our children.
Perhaps the two billionaires might search their collective sofa cushions and fund a new Insights childrens museum as a show of good faith for playing our government like a find violin!
