Letters To The Editor
Editor,
What pleasure to read in the opinion page of the SMDR, Mr. Ezekiel Enriquez Sr.'s articles, especially Wednesday's on the subject of the San Marcos River problems. And I agree with him because the out-of-town investors, or global investors with tons of money, have not only ruined the natural beauty of our river and hill country, but have also caused a nightmarish engineering problem for the local traffic. However now the city and state, and federal government, will have a great opportunity to steal more land under some pretense and or claim eminent domain against property owners near the streets in order to widen them to accommodate people coming from other high tax paying states. And please look at The once naturally beautiful Gate Way to our Hill Country. It has become one long continuous rock and gravel quarry all along Interstate 35. It's an open sore to remind us what our government and corporations value. Mr. Enriquez is right on target and he and I did see with our own eyes a wonderful gem in the natural state San Marcos was once in.
And in closing, there was a time in Texas when it boasted the best highways in the U.S.. Well, not anymore! So much for progress huh? Everything America turns out is no longer durable nor the best. And the poor keep losing their land and the schemers keep selling hollow promises and selling us snake oil. Thanks.
Respectfully,
Ruben N. Gutierrez
