In Kleberg county, about a hundred people have lost their jobs after a uranium mining operation shut down. County leaders say the fall of the price of uranium led to the cut-backs in the company, residents living in the area say the uranium mining operation has contaminated their water supply for years. The company is required by law to return the groundwater to its original standards due to the  company's cutbacks, they won't be able to do that right away said county leaders .

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
