Have you been asked to
“Remove” Dan Reese signs from your yard
by those driving around in golf carts?
Get your video camera/recorder ready, because it’s happening again! Elections are weeks away and already it’s
like Déjà vu in Windcrest.
These exerts below are from a
Gilbert Garcia, Opinion columnist article when he wrote about Nasty Elections
in Windcrest.
…The knock on Baxter
is that he is a foul-mouthed bully who rewards his friends and punishes anyone
who fails to meet his loyalty test. Awhile
back Baxter launched into a profanity-laced tirade and warned Vargas, “You
decide who you’re going to be loyal to.”
..A nasty feud between
forces aligned with and against Mayor Alan Baxter has escalated … with police
being called in to settle political scores and the rhetoric getting uglier by
the day.
..Bel McFall, the wife
of councilman James McFall, drove kids around Windcrest neighborhoods in a golf
cart, so they could place fliers, consisting of harsh attacks against the
anti-Baxter slate, on residents’ doors. When a resident started videotaping the
kids, Bel McFall called the police.
…Timothy Wilson, the
mayor of Kirby, ran against Baxter in a 2014 Republican primary for Bexar
County Commissioner. Wilson said Bel McFall yelled at his wife at a Windcrest
polling site, and Baxter supporters hurled so much abuse at his volunteers that
Wilson had to hire a polling worker to protect them.
The pro-Baxter faction
on the council consists of Gerd Jacobi, Jim Shelton, James McFall, Ricky
Cockerham and Jan Leaders.
