Tune-in for the fireworks! :gun
LOCAL ACTIVISTS ORGANIZING BILL MILLER BOYCOTT
With shamelessness that would make Raul Prado and Kike Martin blush the Bill Miller family is attempting to extort money from the City of San Antonio and the citizens of Bexar County over land they own adjacent to Toyota.
The Miller's plan to build 2000 houses on 385 acres of land they own. When Toyota stated their intention to build their facility they had asked the city of San Antonio to basically zone all land around the plant outward of 3 miles as commercial. Toyota needed this guarantee so that they could
expand their plant to build more vehicles and provide more good jobs for the south side. One scenario has Toyota adding an additional 2000 jobs and a Sequoia truck plant next to the one they are building.
Let us figure this out. The Miller family thinks that building 2000 houses is more important than an additional 2000 jobs at the Toyota site.
Where exactly was the Miller family for the past fifty years when south Bexar County needed development and the tax revenues it would provide. The Miller family suddenly appears to care about development on the south side
when the family realizes they can make millions riding the coattails of Toyota and the City of San Antonio.
The Miller family has stated that the only acceptable deal they would makeis to be allowed to build 2000 houses on the 385 acres or for the city ofSan Antonio to buy the land from them or pay them not to build houses.
The Miller family attorney Barry McClenahan stated, " I would hate to seethe Miller family vilified by the mayor or anyone else- a family that hasdone so much for San Antonio"
Excuse us but doesn't the Miller family owe the citizens of San Antonio adebt of gratitude for making their family one of the wealthiest in SouthTexas. Mr. McClenahan and the Miller family have some nerve saying that thetaxpayers of San Antonio owe their family. If this were any common family
they would be charged with blackmail and extortion.
We call on all city and county leaders to follow the lead of Mayor Ed Garzaand stand up to the bullying tactics of the Miller family. It is time to stand up and be counted.
We would also like to call on all residents of San Antonio and Bexar County to join us in a boycott of all Miller family owned businesses including Bill Miller BBQ and Barnacle Bill's restaurants. When the Miller family decides to do the right thing and allow the land to be zoned commercially then the citizens of San Antonio will once again enjoy a meal at their favorite Bill Miller restaurant.
