week that he was opposed to the plan. The vote also means that two 
county judges, Simpson and Nueces County's Loyd Neal, are in opposition

Neal said, he was unaware of a July 9 meeting between San Patricio 
County Commissioner Jim Price, Nueces County Commissioner Oscar Ortiz, 
his brother U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, his former
