The Cameron - Dune Protection Committee held a special meeting on July 3, 2025, to discuss significant concerns regarding a permit application from a local company. The meeting highlighted strong opposition from committee members and community members alike, particularly focusing on the company's history of rule violations and trust issues.

One of the key speakers, Mr. Drain, expressed deep skepticism about the company's reliability, citing a pattern of behavior that includes disregarding regulations and breaking promises. He emphasized that even if the company had submitted all necessary paperwork, their past actions warranted a rejection of any further requests. "They've shown themselves to disregard rules, to break them, to violate laws," he stated, urging the committee not to grant any additional permissions.

Another participant, Jim Chapman from Weslaco, echoed these sentiments, calling the company's permit application incomplete and suggesting it should be returned for more detailed resubmission. His comments reinforced the call for a thorough review of the application process, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability.

The discussions during the meeting underscored a growing concern among committee members and the public regarding the company's operations and its impact on the community. The committee is expected to take these concerns into account as they move forward with their decision-making process. The outcome of this meeting could have significant implications for the company's future activities in the area, as well as for community trust in regulatory processes.
