Baxter and Jacobi Spell TROUBLE
Alan E. Baxter and Gerd "Jake" Jacobi are nothing but trouble for Windcrest. Voters got rid of both of these trouble makers, now they are trying to convince folks they should be elected again.
During the years Baxter and Jacobi ran city council, the Street fund was depleted to cover their scheme of lowering taxes and lowering permit fees. They bragged about paying cash for a few street repairs that were completed, but this month, all of those previously repaired areas were Replaced again. The streets were neglected and the street fund was depleted which caused the need for a $7 Million street bond.
Baxter and Jacobi also hired their hand picked Fire Chief Weiderman, to completely destroy our volunteer fire department. Over 100 years of fire fighting experience was fired. Then Weiderman proceeded to dismantle the fleet of FD vehicles. First up was the Ladder Truck. Every minor discrepancy was written up then he announced the Ladder Truck was not-serviceable. Weiderman convinced council that the cost estimate to replace all the discrepancies exceeded the value of the ladder truck. Windcrest did not have a Ladder Truck in the fire bay for many months. Our Ladder Truck sat at a repair garage downtown San Antonio for many months and each month council was informed the ladder truck was out of commission. Weiderman found a buyer (from Mexico they said) willing to pay $10,000 for the Ladder Truck. Weiderman under Baxter and Jacobi was allowed to completely destroy the entire Fire Department and created the Bugle Crew as a replacement.
Voters saw thru their scheme. Baxter and Jacobi were voted OUT, then Weiderman was let go by the new council. Weiderman also posted some threats on FB which sped up his removal. The original Fire Association was reactivated and the over 100 years of fire fighting experience guys were re-hired. Replacement of the Bugle Crew took several months thanks to Jacobi and his amigos fighting the change at every opportunity.
This is only a drop in the bucket so to speak. Baxter and Jacobi are nothing but TROUBLE.
