The move is underway to rip apart our scenic Hill Country in order to
provide large profits for developers and road companies from which they may toss
some back to elected officials via perks and campaign contributions.
The new road proposals essentially carve up much of our open lands
and break up our private properties to new and unsustainable growth
patterns. The corrupt process of
appointing designated associates by County Commissioners comprising persons with
already-voiced interests in either building roads or being involved in
development, who then sit down and decide for the rest of the citizens (and
LANDOWNERS) of this County what should happen to their lives is undemocratic,
blatantly contemptible and should not be tolerated.
Most people know little or nothing about these new
proposed roads, and there has been NO PUBLIC INTEREST in building more roads.
Instead, it is a top-down bogus process of handing over public tax money to
private entities in the form of road contracts and eventual housing and
commercial development.
Our lands and our lifestyle must not for sale, nor
open to controlled special interest decisions about where increased vehicular
traffic, overpopulation and additional air and noise pollution should be
directed and how.
Local news media along with community residents
must rise up together as a giant tsunami of protest.
We recognize that the
County is growing and that we must make improvements to our roads, but not this
way.
