I have recently been so moved by the current state of affairs in Kingsville that I wrote my first ever letter to the editor of our small town's only newspaper. After being told it would be published (on two different occasions), sadly it was not. I created this blog so that others could not control the freedom of speech and information regarding this hot topic. I do not accept being silenced.
The public has a right to know what really happened and to hear all points of view, rather than just a select few or those that are least damaging to the overall longterm goals of the powers that be.
I was a board member of the now defunct Arts & Culture Association of Kingsville (ACAK). It was a subcommittee of the BIA, and was just beginning to emerge through loads of dedicated volunteers and public support, with a new home to be shared with the BIA and Tourism in the beautifully renovated Carnegie Building. Sadly, this victory for the arts did not last long.
Despite our shock, disbelief and general outrage, the BIA arbitrarily decided to eliminate this committee and focus solely on BIA business, effectively taking our new home for themselves, and tying our hands behind our backs. Here is my letter to the editor that was never published...
