He mentioned real estate agents who would lease the units, the residents who would live there and those who would open and support the restaurant planned for the building.
Why stop there! Go after the architect that is designing the building, the construction company and their subcontractors, and the bankers that are financing the project, the lawyers that handled the paperwork, and don’t forget the company that will provide the port-a-cans at the site.
The Chron E-Board has a take today on the rejected Voter ID law. Here is a taste:
But going by Texas’ own numbers, the voter ID bill will disproportionately make it more difficult for legally registered Hispanic voters to cast their ballots. It does not matter whether this is the intent. By Texas’ own numbers, it is the effect.
