#1 – Call these SWING VOTES!
Ask them to vote FOR Tommy Adkisson as Chair.
Contact Windcrest Mayor Jack Leonhardt at (210) 599-2599 or via email at mayor@ci.windcrest.tx.us
(Leonhardt told Adkisson he’d vote for him but then backed away AND he denied Larson’s request to move mtg time in order to accommodate Terry Brechtel of the tolling authority…he apparently favors UN-elected people’s schedules over ELECTED officials)
Contact Gloria Ariaga Exec Dir of Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) at (210) 362-5201
garriaga@aacog.com
Contact Selma Councilman Bill Weeper at (210) 651-6661
Contact Senator Carlos Uresti at (210) 932-2568 or carlos.uresti@senate.state.tx.us (said he’d vote FOR Tommy but may not show up)
#2 – Contact your City Councilmember and insist they elect Tommy Adkisson Chair of the MPO! Any politician who attempts to control the MPO Board with the City’s toll agenda (electing Sheila McNeil) does so at their own peril!
Find your City Councilmember by calling: (210) 207-7040
Email them from here…
Even if YOUR councilmember is not on the MPO Board, they need to communicate YOUR desires to the City’s representatives on the MPO to vote accordingly!
UNLESS WE TURN UP THE HEAT
and roll votes Adkisson’s way…
