    " We need Highway 191 from Douglas north to the I-10 widened so we can create jobs and bring goods and services to the local businesses and towns!

    Local opposition to the reality of positive, inevitable progress has become old news. Support our economy. "

    " Why is 3rd street and Chino Rd. the states or Feds responsibility. Did'nt the city of douglas re-pave chino like a year or two ago and left it in much worst condition. The mayor sounds like a typical douglas resident, always trying to take federal or state taxpayer money because most people in douglas dont contribute to the tax system. I hope the mayor let McCain know how douglas is the most corrupt city in the country but is yet the premier southwest border community. "
