Candidate Statement
"I grew up with the same small town values San Antonio loves. Graduated from West Point in 1956, imbedded with Duty, Honor, Country. Airborne, Ranger, Vietnam with 101st ABN. Communications Officer with technical schooling and contract law at JAG School. Completed Master of Education and Master of Business Administration. Taught at Northeastern, Harvard and Palo Alto. Married 47 years to a fifth generation San Antonio native Special Education Teacher. Five of six daughters are teachers.
"I feel we need to stress education and individual responsibility: 47 per cent of inter-city students drop out! Teen age pregnancy is the highest in the nation, half the ACCD students require remedial courses! Increase tutoring, scholarships and faith-based initiatives. Increase policing and anti-gang activity. Increase numbers of policemen: numbers and duration of probationary officers.
"San Antonio has to continue to benefit from the NAFTA growth--the Toyota plant is just latest and biggest addition to that growth. The railroad problems within the city are but one indication of the growth in traffic. (Toyota demanded dual rail access.) The proposed TAM campus is a great opportunity as well, but the city wants and needs better traffic and transportation planning and coordination to best utilize these opportunities and avoid costly errors.
"I firmly believe that the time has come to close the door on the part-time, fast change over of the present Weak Mayor City Council. With a city budget over 1.4 billion and growth of the city and its ETJ, an integrated city-county (think Dade County) government is vital. "
