Rambling again..

I'm posting this because I have not done so in some time. Well I am somewhat dismayed by what is occuring on our message board ( http://www.guestbookcentral.com/guestbook.cfm?guestbook=39955 ). Our locals and those elsewhere are not pleased with our local politicians for unknown reasons. No one will actually say what it is that our elected officials are doing or not doing that upsets them so much. If I may speak for them just to get something down on paper, let me try to guess. Our politicians are not creating high paying jobs. They are not raising the quality of life in EP such as beautiful parks, jogging trails, golf driving ranges, country clubs, camping sites, cleaner streets, night clubs, bowling alleys or allies, water sking (sp), hiking trails other than those along the Rio Grande, a new mall, vocational colleges and miniture golf. Perhaps our locals do not like to see the politician's family members get good jobs in Eagle Pass because it gives the semblance of favoritism. Some might be tired of seeing them at the customary ribbon cuttings uttering the same old speech about how they made it possible for this new business to exists. Perhaps our town would rather see more candidates like Cesar Chavez than those like Henry Cisneros. Its possible that many equate honesty with being humble rather than one with self-assurance. Who knows.
