Curtis,

Scientific poll, no, but close enoiugh

When they passed the first ordinance, enough signatures of voters were gathered to indeed put it on the ballot. Thats over 8,000 signatures, whioch represents a huge number of registered voters.

The city counsel, when they passed the first ordinance said they would not pursue any further closures when they passed it.

Mr. Shexlainder came along and whined, oh we need more beach closed or we will run away like big wussies!

The city counsel resinds the first ordinance, and drafts a new closing more beach---
against what the city of Corpus Christi's majority wants and against their promises.

Their promises to pass a city charter mean nothing either, becuase once the city gives preferential treatment to one developer, which they have, any other developer can use this as a legal precedent.

In other words, the new developers can say the city charater change is prejudicial to them, and then have a court reder it void, and force the city to give them equal treatment to Schexlainder and Intrawest, which means closing beach for them too.

We all lose then.

I agree with Big John. Once the precedent is made every other developer will demand the same treatment. That would only be fair and the end to beaches as we know them today.

You can't honestly be serious about using a petition as evidence of what the population wants. I already knew you would mention the petition, and the 8000 some-odd signatures.

First, petitions are signed by anyone. They leave them around different places, and people unaware of anything sign them. Some could possibly be misinformed about the petition they're signing. I also remember petitioners trying to get a libertarian candidate back in the 2004 election on the ballot. They were out at the bars and nightclubs getting a ton of signatures. Do you think that's a scientific data collection?? Laughing

I'd be surprised if 8000 some odd people even went to the polls in Corpus Christi considering that we have 9-12% voter participation in our area.

Mr Rock,

You sure do wish to get under someone's skin. If You were as well informed as you protest to be you would know that was 8,000 registered voters in and for the City of Corpus Christi only. I could not sign it because I live in Beeville.

I would like to suggest that a petition be started by the same people to be sent to the GLO. For Mr. Rock that is the governing agency of the beach. They have the final word.

This should be fun.

See all that think they can cast on Saturday.
Later Cliff

I agree, How many other Texans also use the beach and have no say so about it? THAT IS TAKING AWAY FROM ALL TEXANS!

Honestly I just choose to ignore Curtis, he is getting what he wants, to be noticed. His opinion and comments have no real value but to crawl under everyones skin.

I am beginning to doubt that CurtisRock even lives in Corpus and that he has as little say in the whole deal as I do living in Portland. Guys he is also probably one of those that would dump an old sofa on the beach to help his cause. Ignore him....

I bet your right Texmap. Old Curtis didn't bother to say where he lives when he signed up. Well I live on Oso Bay and I have read everything that has been printed about the Beach closure. To include the state law that governs the beaches of Texas. I vote and I see it for what it is. A land grab by developers that will come here, squeeze every dollar out of Corpus they can and then leave to Rape another part of the country. I will vote against it and my vote will count. Mad

Curtisrock is probably a young kid living off of mommy and daddies hard work. He has only had to work for life’s desires not the necessities of life. I think he is an excellent example of what we are up against. This is why I have participated in replying to his ignorant post. People like him look at what others have and want to take it and make it “better” in their eyes. They have no regard for others. If you disagree with them you are out of touch or stupid.

These are the people we are fighting. Only one thing will win this fight. VOTING!!!!

Curtisrock, it is apparent you are just someone working for the council who joined this web site to be stupid since you only have 8 posts. The council has gave this developer everything he has asked for, JFK causeway. a new Packery Channel paid for by tax payers that now they will not be able to use the whole south side of it, and now the council has given him his own private beach that the fact of the matter is his land doesn't even go to the vegetation line. Funny how you mention safety for children, in 1 single day in Corpus there are more kids that almost get ran over in HEB parking lot than in a whole year on the beach. Why are those people who are so concerned for kids safety not closing all the HEBs, malls and other shopping centers??????? I guess I should be happy they are closing the beach, being a disabled veteran this should make me a very rich person when I sue the developer, the city, the GLO and the state for not, as the state and city law plainly states, "providing equal to or better than access" to the beach. Right now I can park at the south jetty of Packery Channel, 50 feet from the water. How do you figure parking 1800 feet away in a parking lot is "equal to or better than" access. Maybe in my lawsuit I will get them to call it Redneck Channel instead of Packery Channel.

I went to the ericvonwade.com site and gave my 2 cents. Of course Curtis has a vested interest. His parents own the engineering firm that he works for. This firm has been contacted to do some work on the Island project. A difference of opinion is all that it is. Curtis sees developement on the island as a financial gain for his company. I hate to see the closure and big condos but our city council sold us out. Curtis says the 8000 signatures on the petition mean nothing.
