Well, thank the good Lord district 5 has a councilman who actually wants to honor his district’s concerns over the almighty dollar bottom line. Highway 146 is becoming a madhouse of traffic, so when Rev. Raymond Van Buskirk threw out valid concerns about the RV Park’s impact, who in the world is Mercedes Renteria to tell Bob Hoskins that he shouldn’t investigate the Reverend’s concerns? Chris Presley thought it was common sense. Mr. Renteria is quoted as saying, “When somebody comes in our city and wants to spend their money and develop, then who are we as council to tell them they can’t develop?”
I’ll answer that for Bob. The council we citizens elect to listen to our concerns; that’s who. Of all the councilmen I’ve had over the last 20 years living in District 5, Bob is the only one who has repeatedly asked my opinion or answered my questions.

I saw the same thing Mercedes just isn't a good fit for city council ZB
Rev. Van Buskirk is a wonderful man so glad someone listened to his concerns. SPG
Bob is awesome! CB
Mr. Hoskins has always struck me as a thoughtful, honorable man. I'd side with him any day over Renteria.

Wonder if that sort of thinking would apply to someone wanting to open a whorehouse...“When somebody comes in our city and wants to spend their money and develop, then who are we as council to tell them they can’t develop?” Don't see Renteria being re-elected or at least hope not. CF
