BROWNSVILLE, August 2 - The Texas Border Coalition executive committee has tentatively agreed to hire a top management and communications consulting firm to help get its message out to Middle America and win political support for its agenda in Washington, D.C.
At a cost of around $20,000 a month, Austin-based ViaNovo would work on one issue of immediate importance to TBC - stopping or slowing down the construction of a border wall. A longer term goal would be securing more federal dollars for infrastructure projects at border ports of entry.
