If you have been watching the KVIA TV news at 10 on last Tuesday and Wednesday, you would be amazed to see the Station taking on the City for their attempt to end Petitions to Stop the tearing down of the City Hall. A law suit had been filed in Fort Worth to avoid any protests from the local “crazy” as our City Mother so endearingly labeled the voters. They interviewed the City Attorney who with her best legalize, stated that with the November Vote, increasing and utilizing of Motel/Hotel tax to finance the “Venue project”, it was technically approved “implicitly”(Don’t you people know what I meant to say?). Didn’t this City Council and attorney turn down a couple of petitions because they were not explicit. KVIA presented the facts and one could only conclude that “There was a problem in Houston”
I’m wondering about the First Amendment of the Constitution, something like the right to petition. I think they want this to change. They figure if the Feds can do it so can they.
Also this seem strange coming from the Station that is aligned with The El Paso Times. In the past they didn’t criticize the City. Then I thought of a recent sweetheart real estate deals. So I drove by KVIA to see if there was a for sale sign. Nothing. Maybe now they’ll get an offer they can’t refuse. Otherwise, they may continue. Sure need a beacon besides us little folks.
