Bold Futures Never Included Lost Breezes

Remember that BOLD FUTURES conference Mayor Cheerleader and all the usual suspects promoted so well this past summer? You know, the one where the brought in several hundred of the City's Best Citizens to brainstorm what we, as a community, wanted Corpus Chrisit to look like in 2020? Well let me share a couple of the consensus points:

Under Business & Economy:

"High-Tech, Green Industry Leader--The Coastal Bend is a leader in high-tech, "green" industry and a center for clean energy research."

"Premier Eco-Tourism Destination--The Coastal Bend is a premier eco-tourism destination."

Now I beg to ask the reader WHAT DOES BUILDING A 19th CENTURY, SMOG BELCHING MONSTER HAVE TO DO WITH EITHER "HIGH-TECH", OR "GREEN", OR "ECO-TOURISM"? Let me give you a hint: NOT A DAMNED THING. So either Mayor Cheerleader and his clones led us down the wrong path, or they refuse to listen the OUR advise THEY solicited!

JUST SAY NO TO LOST BREEZES!
