Sophisticated things that the industry really needs, and that we don't have. We're not an industrial town, we haven't done much of that sort of thing. We don't have enough people that know how to do those things, and consequently we are losing jobs and subsequently we're losing business.

I probably would rather be known for leaving a major park system in San Antonio.

And clearly there are people with racist thoughts.

Or at least give us the money to do it.

It would give us the best linear park in the United States and increase the drawing power of the river ... that would make this City even greater.

Whatever we need to do, we're going to do, ... We're not going to wait for federal dollars to come in, we're going to write whatever checks that need to be written right now.

Nobody is tied to a special interest, none that I can discern, which means they are all independent, and that is so important to forming a team, because if you have somebody who is sold out to a special interest they're never going to get along.
