Alejandro Dominguez, the police chief of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, was gunned down June 9, 2005, by men firing assault rifles from a convoy of Chevrolet Suburbans nine hours after he was sworn in.

"1. Why do we have a STOP sign. I realize the purpose is to stop and look before proceeding, but very few of us obey the sign. The majority of the residents and ALL of the trucks and workers who come in here, buzz right past me. I have nearly been rear-ended several times because I take the time to stop. Either enforce or eliminate.
2. Getting on the highway, headed south, there is a very deep pot hole right under the over-pass. To avoid hitting it, you must swerve, endangering the traffic coming through at 65 miles per hour. Unfortunately, the other direction is identical. There is a pot hole just before getting off the highway headed north, right before you swing around to the right and go over the bridge. This may be responsibility of Caminos y Puentes, but nothing has been done and it is a real road hazard.
3. We are destroying our cars on our potholes here. Cantil (100 block) is very hard on my car. Mercedes told me I have shot one of my shock absorbers already, and I am just waiting to ruin the other before investing in unwanted replacements. My solution is simple. Charge a toll to all business vehicles (pick-ups as well as big cement trucks, etc. ) They all come in here and take over our roads; speeding in many areas, and doing harm to the stone roads. If we charged a toll according to size of truck, the monies earned would pay for the repair of our roads, costing us nothing more. Wouldn't that be a good deal? My principal at San Ysidro Middle School said never give a complaint without some sort of solution, so...that's mine."
