W G Sears argues that citywide apathy and Chamber of Commerce influence threaten New Braunfels governance. He accuses officials of steering toward a costly convention center under Chamber pressure, warns of tax impact, and urges residents to attend meetings and reclaim control. The letter likens past San Antonio mistakes to local plans and calls for a citizens group to challenge council alignment with the Chamber.
