"Are you sure you got enough sleep?" I asked, knowing it was just past 3:00 AM in CDO.
"Yes. I went to bed early," Ana responded.
Ana should be in Brownsville by October or sooner.
Two questions about the TSC, TSTC, Port of Brownsville, Texas A&M brouhaha.
1. What was TSC President Rodriquez thinking when he concealed the fact that Texas A&M had indeed reached out to him via email about the proposed training facility at the Port of Brownsville? What about openness, transparency, honesty?
2. Why do mega-rich institutions like the University of Texas and Texas A&M seem to display so little benevolence in dealing with the country's poorest community?
As for the E. Fronton Street name change that will be rescinded this coming Tuesday night, this is what we wrote back on May 22, 2019:
"I almost forgot! In one of the dumber city commission moves recently, the commission voted to change the name of East Fronton Street, from Palm to Sam Perl Boulevard, to McNair Family Drive.
As someone who values the historic nature of downtown Brownsville, the names Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Elizabeth, Levee, Saint Charles, Saint Francis and Fronton border on sacred.
McNair Family Drive? Let that roll off your tongue once or twice. It simply doesn't fit alongside the other traditional street names downtown.
What's next? Changing East Saint Charles Street to Bill Hudson Development Way?"

ReplyDeleteI agree with your first question.
Regarding your second question....you don't have all the information. Major universities have quite a few projects in South Texas...the better question is why do they shy away from Brownsville...and the answer is in the blogs this week. Paid bloggers create lies and attack projects that would actually help Brownsville.
I'm listing just a few projects that A&M (in particular have that benefit our community)

I'm sure there are more...but i have to get to work...
The third question is Why does Brownsville leadership continually run out opportunity in our town?
When paid bloggers like Jerry McHAle spew out lies they ensure NO ONE wants anything to do with us. He says he's for the "mexicanos" when all he's doing is ensuring they remain "poor mexicanos"....
Bloggers should learn the facts before they attack...but then paid attackers really don't care do they.
