I'm getting a lot of emails from Dawnna Dukes. It's like she finally realized she better let people know she's around and doing something. Good. I'd hate to only be known as the legislator that supports Tom Craddick and goes to Paris when there's a big vote going on, too.
She has sent scathing letters to the Austin City Council members that have screwed the Villa Muse development. They were pretty well written, if a little long-winded.
This whole Villa Muse things sounds tops, doesn't it? But, I just have a super hard time believing there will really be a $2 billion development out there. I'd have to see some bank statements that showed you had the money in the bank before I voted on anything. Anybody been on Enfield Road lately and seen the abandoned eyesore that was supposed to be the Pleiades condos?
I'm all for development, $2 billion dollar investments and smart growth. What I'm not for is a bunch of half-built buildings all over the DMA because of ambition without funds.
