Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Appears Before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to Combat the Proliferation of Pollutants in Acres Homes and Surrounding Areas
Jackson Lee— “I was pleased that at the conclusion of the hearing, the TCEQ ruled in favor of Acres Homes residents and decided to deny the permit at this time and to submit the residents’ petition to a contested hearing, at a later date. The residents whose rights were vindicated are everyday hardworking homeowners whose only voice is their petition. They had no powerbrokers of which to speak—merely their own advocacy and vigilance. I have worked with this community; I have seen their passion. These residents have invested all their resources into their home, and have seen that hard work and investment undermined by this concrete facility, mere feet from their homes. I urge all involved to work towards a final conclusion that is fair to all and urge the business involved to consider relocation to a more undeveloped area.”
