Windcrest 2017 Elections Deja Vu

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.
