Supporting a Tough Decision
RECEIVED Tue., Jan. 25, 2005
Dear Editor,
I have not heard the toll road issue so well put ["Page Two," Jan. 21]. Thank you Mr. Black for telling a true and balanced story. If Austinites tried to recall a mayor or council every time they disagreed on an issue, we'd never get anything in Austin done.
Sal Costello may think he is the 800-pound gorilla in this issue, I think he's a mean-spirited bully that obviously forgot to pack his manners when he moved from New York.
Thank you to the Mayor and those on the Council who stuck by their resolutions and supported a tough decision.
I also commend those who didn't support the toll plan, but respectfully asked that folks involved follow the Golden Rule ... Mr. Costello obviously missed the meaning of this.
So, to make it clear for him and his minions, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
