In the months prior to the presentation of the above contradictions, wed been told that our long, local nightmare would be over in April of last year. Then June. Then August. Then September. Then October. Then November. A few weeks back, City Hall announced a new completion date of sometime between March 20 and June 20. All of these commitments were made by one man Octavio Garza. Hes been in charge of the Walnut project since the beginning, and hes been stringing us along years by the time the road is finally open. Its time for him to go.

This creates a huge conflict of interest for me, as Gallagher is not only a close friend but also my lawyer, and I have a history of prefacing anything I say to Barrons mother, Carter Casteel, with #### you, Carter. Combine those fun facts with the stark reality that I was told, after the 2012 County election, that I need to Get right with Barron, and you can see, well, how this ones going to play out. Given my close relationship with this race, Ive turned over the task of covering it to our legal affairs reporter, Nick Rogers, with a promise to keep my unbelievably biased hands off of his work. Im not even going to read it before we print. Im counting on him not to get us sued for libel, mainly because I want my column to be the first one to invite those charges. Considering Casteels hatchet job on Jay Patrick when Patrick was running for City Council a few years back, we expect Carters little man to make this real personal, real quick. Its going to be a barnburner. Read Nick Rogers quote-fest with Gallagher on page 5. Read it and love it. As for other politicians looking to strong-arm us this time around, let me remind yall how this game works in the real world: Its your job to suck up to the media, not the other way around, despite the fact that New Braunfels news outlets have a history of strapping on the kneepads.

We knew that the street could be paved in December, and published material that Garza said would be used on Walnut. You know, the stuff he said couldnt be applied until average temperatures reached our December 12 issue: 70 degrees. Heres the relevant excerpt from According to Octavio Garza, (the Citys Capital Programs Manager and point-man on the TxDOT specifications for the particular

Walnut), we have to wait until spring to get the street done because we need 70 degree weather in order to pave.

Youve heard the saying that a District Attorney can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich, havent you? Why not a communion wafer? The New Braunfels police department, Comal County Criminal District Attorney Jennifer Tharp and District Judge Jack Robison continue their prosecution of Justin Carter for supposed terroristic threats against someone, somewhere, sometime, or just in their imaginations. In their zeal to shoot up the First Amendment along with the entire Bill of Rights, I imagine that they sincerely regret other missed opportunities to lock up others for speech crimes. Limits of time and place didnt stop them in Carters case, so theyre probably dreaming indictments, now! Sure as shootin DA Tharp would love to have gone after Patrick Henry for the suicidal ideation in his Give

DA Tharp and Judge Robison really missed out on the indictment of President Ronald Reagan for his terroristic threats in 1983 when he joked in front of TV cameras that he was outlawing Russia forever and that bombing would begin in five minutes. Ronny would have been good for at least a half million dollar bond. But wait! Heres a real-time opportunity for the DA, Judge and NBPD: A major tenet of the Catholic Church holds that the communion wafer is transformed into the body of Christ by the priest during Mass.

He said contractors, by following specifications, will be able to achieve the same quality of work during the winter as they would during the warmer spring. (Emphasis ours) What? The same quality? Give that man a gold medal for verbal gymnastics. The fact that we checked his work for him had to hurt once City Hall got hold of the article and saw the true specs for the paving materials. After Council understood that, they decided that Texas Sterling, the contractor on the job, was still going to have $1,600 a day that they were coming in behind schedule deducted from their final invoice. No excuses. \m/ Mike Reynolds Publisher/Editor-in-Chief practices should be overhauled, and the low the high ones. Maybe take the middle bid next time, and stop asking for trouble.

It should be noted that while we get a few based, but those arent produced in the winter super-cold days once in a while, the average time. (Emphasis ours) daytime temperature in December is 63 degrees. In January its 61, and in February, 65. If at an air temperature of 47 degrees the road is 59.7, it seems we should be fine if the air starts out at over 60. Seriously. So yeah, that whole 70 degree thing must be a special rule just for us. Clearly, Garzas full of baloney. Chock full. Now we find out that were indeed going to pave, even though theres been no significant sunspot activity or other factor making January, February, or March any warmer than they usually are. In fact, were looking at a colder than usual winter way colder.

I want to be a voice, not just go along with the crowd. I want to be independent and try to bring transparency to the Council. They say theyre transparent, even won an award for it, but theyre not. Right now, there are certain people on the City Council who are what the Texas Legislature calls furniture. These people wait and see how as Sandy Nolte and Bryan Miranda. I just dont understand why you have seven elected officials on Council, and a highly paid city manager and city attorney, yet when something controversial comes up that needs resolution, like the Christ in Christmas park, such as safety standards. This means you are now in the role of a private enterprise and you waive immunity. If someone gets hurt, for example, or drowns, the City becomes liable.

UNCLE ESEL
Uncle Esel, Enjoyed your list of top stories but it seems like you left off the biggie about Scooter Store. What happened to that story? Scotty
Dear Scotty, I had several people remind me of this. Seems like old Esel had so many stories like the City finally strong arming NB Aero and eliminating their only competition at the airport and the near end-around by the old City Manager and Guadalupe County Commissioners that almost got us our very own gas production facility next to a brand new school, that while whittling the list down, the story that dominated the year inadvertently got left off. What should have been in the top two was the demise of the Scooter Store after years of defrauding the government and allegations of strong arming and hoodwinking doctors to get just about anyone who asked for it, a massively overpriced battery cart. Of course there were lawsuits by employees left high and dry while founding family Harrison continued to live high and mighty off the big cash-out they took before the Feds could sweep in and bring about the demise of what Chamber of Commerce Czar Michael Meek kept publicly hoping was just a bad dream that we could wake up from and all would be hunky-dory. Nope, those poor employees ended up losing it all and were told too bad while just recently, Doug Harrison who made millions from the hard work of those employees asked the court to allow insurance money and not his own millions of dollars to be used to defend him against continuing criminal investigations. Uncle Esel wonders why Dougie doesnt hit up former senator Bob Krueger who received millions to lobby for Scooter Store over several years. Love, K As is typical, a lot of people joined the bandwagon and manufacturers came out with money-making options for these vapers as they call themselves. Some users though have actually increased the use of the vape compared to the tobacco they were previously smoking, and some models actually can deliver significantly more nicotine than a normal cigarette. In addition, agencies are just now starting to call for further investigation to determine if in fact there may be detrimental affects by any other chemicals in the vaping process. Several municipalities have started to put restrictions and even bans on vaping (New York City, of course) and several businesses have also banned the practice. The FDA, under pressure from medical groups, has banned the importation of vaping products and many believe they may move to ban the sale until manufacturers can scientifically satisfy them that there is no danger in the e-cigs. Canada has already taken this step. For the most part, it does not appear that many local establishments have banned vaping. Love, K

Dear Esel, Another truck hit the Landa Street underpass again. Why doesnt the city fix this? Thanks, Vince

Dear Vince, Its been brought up a few times and each time the same group of people start arguing the usual. Its historic, or its going to destroy our downtown and a whole stream of other nonsense. They organize email campaigns and show up in droves at some City workshop. Then someone like Council Member Digges tells a story of some long dead relative who Dear Uncle Esel, I get a little tired of going to delivered the rebar used in the ugly concrete restaurants and having someone puffing bridge and paralysis sets in with the majority and puffing on those e-cigarettes. I mean of Council and nothing happens. Im glad that its not burning tobacco but Frankly, if anyone walks down and looks now Ive also heard that there might be at the concrete utility structure and declares that dangers with the e-cigarettes also. Cant its historic and needs to be preserved, then they these people just get through a dinner are truly idiots. By that measure, we should still without puffing on something? be driving across the Faust Street bridge and Thank You, IH35 should never have been built. Louise Love, K Dear Louise, On the surface, I have to agree that the E-cig, as some call them, are not burning tobacco with all the tar and carcinogens that come from the smoke. Many people who have not been able to wean themselves from tobacco have turned to the e-cigs to get their fix of the habit forming nicotine that they crave. TXCITIZEN.COM
