Petitions Fail

Both petitions to preserve land in the Scenic Transmountain Corridor failed for lack of valid signatures. One petition called for preserving the land; the other called for preservation and the prevention of building any major roadways through that land.

I have asked Richarda Momsen, the Municipal City Clerk, for a meeting at 5 today to go over the signatures. About 300 to 400 signatures would have had to have been invalidated on each petition for both to have failed.

One petitioner emailed to say, "I am beyond disappointed. What else can we do?" Members and friends of the Franklin Mountains Wilderness Coalition will take a couple of days to determine what the next step will be.

In the meantime, the open public hearing on the TxDOT Transmountain EA is scheduled for March 22nd.
