What in the world are you city council people thinking. Are you Devil worshipers? This is wrong. Are you trying to start a Civil war here in corpus?Yet you are going to keep a naked mermaid statue. I think it is time that All of you City council people need to be replaced. Corpus Christi means Body of Christ so why would you get rid of the Angles. Ok if you Do that then the Selena statue will come down also. It does not fit Corpus Christi. This is a big insult to all the christians here in Corpus. Which one of you Devil worshipers came up with this idea. I will make sure that I will go to the world new on this and let them know all of you guys names on the city council. We need blessings in this part of our lives not Devil working Everyone I spoke to is upset that you guys would even start this. This tells me that you guys are not christians that are running out city.

CITY: Midland STATE: TX ZIP: 79707 TOPIC: A Random Tourists Opinion of Corpus Christi AGENDA ITEM NUMBER (if applicable): If no agenda item is specified,then this will be considered a general public comment and not a public hearing. We came for vacation to Corpus Cristi with my family in August 2020. Corpus Cristi has a beautiful shoreline boulevard that we enjoyed. However we were unpleasantly surprised with the amount of homeless people there. They were everywhere: sitting on the benches with all their smelly stuff in the carts, hanging out in the white pavilions that are all along the boulevard, camping in the covered patio area on the McGee beach. Some of them seemed to be on drugs or out of their mind talking to themselves or other people passing by. I had my little daughter in the stroller and I did not feel safe walking by them or being around them. And of course we could not use any of the nice facilities that they occupy. One woman just pulled her pants down right in front of us and peed right by the bench. It was disgusting. And I kept wondering why the city does not do anything about it? Their smell and erratic behavior scare away everybody. Why no one cares? We do not plan to come back for vacation.
