Why has it taken so long for Commissioners to act? As usual, I guess they thought El Paso would just roll over and PAY! Remember that on election day. Is anyone out there listening?

Valienti should be voted out (oop, he was not an elected official).

Where is the City Council in all this? There should be hearings. Where is El Paso Times? They just report the surface. They should dig deeper.

I found this story on KVIA's web site:

Fuel-toting border crossers draw ire in Juarez
http://www.kvia.com/global/story.asp...

An excerpt from the article is below:

""Over the past three months with the price of diesel up where it is, we've seen an incredible increase in people buying them so they can buy diesel in Juarez," said Dick Krasne, president of Alamo Auto Supply on I-10 near Geronimo Drive in Central El Paso.

"The word has gotten out and people are asking for them specifically for that," he said.

The cross-border commerce is raising the ire of some Mexican fuel consumers in Juarez; they don't like the idea of U.S. consumers taking advantage of fuel prices kept artificially low courtesy of their own tax dollars."

So Mexicians don't like the fact that U.S. citizens are taking advantage of "their" tax dollars? Any one see the irony in this?

When is the last time the El Paso Times
had a story about the Alcohol Cartels
shooting each other and innocent bystanders?

Probably 1933, the year we terminated
the disaster known a Alcohol Prohibition.
