Dear City Council Members,

I am a proud resident of beautiful Corpus Christi. I value our community and am writing to ask you to do the same. Say NO to tax breaks for the Las Brisas Energy Center that will double the pollution of Nueces County!

I want Corpus Christi to have an environmentally clean economy. Give tax breaks for energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs, not for a new polluting power plant.

Sincerely,
