Editor,
The author who wrote a letter in last week's Sunday edition does not understand why some leaders and city officials don't have the foresight to build homes and apartments for the elderly. She mentions Lindsey Hill or Heights as an example. Well, let me tell her that the very same people who blocked that project are the people that are now blocking Belvin Street and San Antonio Street from being used by us taxpayers who have every right to use our public streets. We have to detour all the way to Craddock Street just to get downtown or to the small HEB. These people are well catered by our mayor and city manager. Remember that on election day.
Also, I have a bone to pick with the Daily Record's publisher. He referred to some "counselors" in his column four weeks ago but later wrote some city councilmembers. He may as well have said Ms. Marquez because we're all aware of who he was referring to. I, myself, have been fighting discriminatory issues for over 50 years at city hall because, yes, Mr. Winter, most contracts are awarded to white people. And if I recall correctly, I believe our "airport's" funding was approved by city council.
