WESLACO - Bill Summers has built up such good relations with business and political leaders in Tamaulipas that when the local media wants reaction to a U.S. news item they often call the president of the Rio Grande Valley Partnership.
Summers says he plans to take advantage of those media links to tell the people of Tamaulipas that South Texas communities are strongly opposed to the construction of a border wall between Texas and Mexico.
“I want to go on the air and tell our good friends in northern Mexico that the members of Congress that have voted for this wall do not represent the border community,” Summers said.
