Congressman Blake Farenthold Visits SPI

Alta & Gayle were just at City Hall listening to our Congressman Blake Farenthold talk about the many issues in Wash. D.C. today. Most everyone liked his opinions except the Sea Turtle Patrol. They wanted him to help pass a 15 MPH speed limit on North SPI beach. Farenthold didn’t agree with them because it would take 4 hrs. to get to the Port Mansfield cut instead of 2 hrs. Also, there have only been 2 turtles killed out of thousands. We feel like it really doesn’t matter if it is 15 MPH or 30 MPH or 5 MPH because there is no one there to enforce it and no money to hire security to patrol it either.
