Hornswoggled again?

You’d think that our local newspapers would be a bit leery of the propaganda coming out of the City by this time, but the hornswoggling continues. Here’s a story in the January 19, 2015 issue of the El Paso Inc., titled Country Club Road to open in February, finally.

[Country Club Road], where construction began in August 2013, is scheduled to open the end of next month and all construction should be done by the middle of March, city engineering department spokesperson Martin Bartlett told El Paso Inc.

“The major traffic headache should finally, and mercifully, be over in February,” Bartlett said.

While the project is being finished on time and within budget, the complete closure of the road was unexpected.

Here’s what I found Sunday afternoon:

Maybe Hornswogglers would have been a better name for the baseball team. It’s got a ring to it.
