Ø “PRIVATE PLEASURE VENTURE TO STEAL OUR TEXAS TREASURE”
CORPUS CHRISTI CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL INTEREST FOR “THE DEVELOPER”IS A THORN IN HAND OF THE VOTERS OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
Ø DECEMBER 2001- PORT ROYAL CONDOMINIUMS ~A PRIVATE MEETING WAS HELD BY THE CITY COUNCIL WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE VOTERS, IN VIOLATION OF THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT-ANNEXATION OF THE BEACH AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF KLEBERG COUNTY WERE ANNEXED BY THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI NOT BY NUECES COUNTY.
Ø THIS “PRIVATE PLEASURE VENTURE TO STEAL OUR TEXAS TREASURE” WAS FULLY FUNDED BY THE TAXPAYERS AND THEY WERE NOT EVEN INCLUDED NOR WERE THEY INVITED TO ATTEND, BUT THE VOTERS PAID THE “DEMAND OF PAYMENT” WHICH PORT ROYAL RIGHTFULLY DESERVED FOR THEY HAVE PROOF OF PURCHASE BUT THE VOTERS ALLEGE “THEFT OF SERVICE”!
Ø NOT ONLY DID THE “PEOPLE PAY THE TAB” =THEY (CC CITY COUNCIL) DID NOT ASK THE PEOPLE’S “PERMISSION TO CONDUCT” NOR DID THE PEOPLE REQUEST THIS “SPECIAL SESSION”
Ø TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION ~NOT ONLY DID THEY STEAL OUR MONEY FOR THEIR PLEASURE VENTURE- THE ARE TRYING TO CREATE A CHARTER AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS THIS KIND OF CONDUCT TO BE IN OUR CITY CHARTER SO AS IN THE FUTURE THEY NEVER NEED ASK FOR THE PEOPLES PERMISSION!
Ø TREASON AGAINST THE VOTERS WHO PAY THEIR PAYCHECK IS THE WORST KIND OF POLITICIAN FOR PROFIT!
Ø WHY ARE WE THE “PEOPLE ASKED TO PAY THE TAB” WHY THE CARE ABOUT THE DEVELOPER AND HIS NEEDS BUT NOT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEIR PAYCHECKS AND CAR ALLOWANCE??
Ø WATT IS THIS PIPELINE THAT BRINGS H2O FROM LAKE TEXANNA TO WHERE?
Ø WHERE DOES IT GO AT THE END OF THE PIPELINE AND TO WHOSE PIPES?
Ø THE REFUSAL TO HIRE AN INTERNAL AUDITOR ALONE, IS A REASON FOR AN EXTERNAL INVESTIGATION!!!!!
Ø IF THE PREREQUISITE TO HIRING AN INTERNAL AUDITOR BY THE CITY IS THE POSITION “WILL NOT BRING ANY REVENUE” THEN TELL US WE ARE RECEIVING INCOME THAT IS DERIVED BY AND/OR FROM EACH POSITION RECEIVING MONEY THAT IS CURRENTLY EMPLOYED BY THE CITY AND HOW THE TAXPAYER IS RECEIVING REVENUE THAT EXCEEDS COST OF SALARY FOR EACH OF THE POSITIONS.
Ø I KNOW THOSE SIXTEEN ATTORNEYS AINT GENERATING ANY REVENUE FOR THE TAXPAYERS!
Ø WE PAY “THE PAYCHECKS AND CAR ALLOWANCE??!!!!!!”
Ø TRANSPARENCY AND ELECTRONIC/ DIGITAL ACCOUNTABILITY “WI~FINALLY”
Ø WATT A JOKE, I USED TO THINK IT WAS GOING TO ALLOW FOR THE ENTIRE CITY~~~~~~~~~ WHILE THE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THEIR INTERNET “WI-FI” IS FOR THE CHOSEN SELECT FEW WHO “WI-FINALLY” GOT THEIR WIRELESS FREE OF CHARGE!!!!! AND ADVERTISED IT TO THE TAXPAYER! “WHY FINALLY, THE CITY COUNCIL
Ø TRANSPARENCY OF WHY THE RATIO OF CITY ATTORNEYS TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS IS AT LEAST 2.5:1 FOR EVERY CITY OF CC COUNCIL MEMBER? WHY DO WE PAY FOR THEIR LAWYER?
Ø WE PAY FOR THEM, NOT as retained/private counsel. WHOSE JOB IS TO SERVE THE PLEASURE OF THE CITY of CORPUS CHRIST COUNCIL, YET THEY ARE THERE, AND ONLY SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE “ALL AMERICAN CITY COUNCIL”
Ø WATT NOW? “WI~FINALLY” AN EXTERNAL AUDITOR WHO CARES ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND THE SURROUNDING AREA AS WELL AS THE FATHER ISLAND AND THE MOTHER LAGOON; AN INVESTMENT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST!
Ø ~AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT~
Ø YOU CAN’T SEE IT OR TOUCH IT, OR WRAP IT UP TIGHT, BUT IT’S THERE JUST THE SAME, ~~~~ MAKING THINGS TURN OUT WRITE!
Council misled
This is in response to a letter by Evy Coppola (Saturday July 29, 2006), in which she lauds the city manager for his great work with the city. I take issue with that view.
Skip Noe and City Secretary Armando Chapa are leading the city staff and duping the City Council into a number of projects that are in direct contravention to the wishes of the citizens. The various projects that are imposed on the people include the TRT theft of our bay front, the theft of our open beaches, and the theft of democracy in general.
Changing election dates, proposed charter amendments, and constantly changing the rules of engagement demonstrate the erosion of the public will. All of this is an intentional strategy to confuse the public and discourage participation.
The city staff easily dupes the City Council to its wishes using graphs, manipulated statistics, and sophomoric project evaluation formulas, and the public is left with no one representing them. No doubt they meet behind closed doors and plot ways that they can give away our public resources, with the tacit agreement of the real estate developers, title specialists, and Republicans on the City Council.
