Members of the Nueces County Medical Society gathered outside the Del Mar Center for Economic Development this Friday. They were on hand to show support for their colleagues inside, presenting their opposition to the construction of "las Brisas" plant.This was another opportunitty for the medical community to express their concerns over the communities health while the city continues to lobby for the plant in hopes of creating jobs and increasing their tax roles. Doctor Wesley Stafford, a local immunologist, says "if they build las brisas and we increase the level of pollution, we're dealing with another eighty two percent that is just gonna get worse and that is the real concern".The company that wants to build the plant says emissions will be minimal and far below the E.P.A. standards. Another week of hearings is scheduled before the commission on enrvironmental quality makes a decision on wether to "issue" or "deny" a construction permit.

This is something I have been concerned since the start. The air quality here is bad enough without this facility. We certainly don't need to be add to our already bad air quality.

Someone said this is grounds for tighter gun control laws which I find rediculous unless they are advocating disarming our military. This is a sad situation brought about largely by the stress from religious intolerance and war. Since he broke several gun laws I doubt more gun laws would have been effective.

Poll

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.
