"The folks there thought their voices weren't being heard," said Kathy Acosta, a Bastrop resident who attended the meeting at Randalls and another one later that day in her hometown. "They were angry, but they were respectful. There wasn't any violence."
I couldn't find amything about a Kathy Acosta in Bastrop, not even a phone listing.
But Google did lead me to a Kathy Acosta who has worked for at least the past 17 years at San Antonio based

"Kinetic Concepts manufactures and markets therapeutic hospital beds and medical devices that help correct circulatory problems, pulmonary complications and other medical conditions in patients who are immobilized."
I think she works in the product liability division.
Melvin A. Millsap was the director of benefits and risk management at KCI. He died and she left a nice comment in his

Or quite possibly, this Ms. Acosta has another agenda more directly linked to her own personal financial fortunes...
