Thank Those Who Give Us A Choice

I would like to take a moment to say “Thank You” to all of the candidates who ran in both the Democratic and Republican primaries. Having a choice is what democracy is all about and without these people we would have none. I would like to congratulate the winners of our contested county elections. Joe Jaworski, Freddie Poor, Stephen Holmes, Joyce Vail and William Comeaux were the winners from the Democratic Party. J. L. (Bubba) Campbell from the Republican Party. I encourage everyone to follow the candidates leading up to the general elections in November.

County Investigates City?

It seems that at least one League City council-person has formally requested Galveston County District Attorney Kirk Sistrunk's office investigate potential impropriety of League City's governing body. A local waste disposal company (Ameriwaste) has received a temporary contract to handle all commercial and private garbage disposals for the city. What the rumor mill is abuzz with is that an officer and part owner of Ameriwaste is none other than former League City Interim City Administrator Mike Clawson. Some on council believe that a deal might have been stuck with the local company prior to last Tuesday night’s vote. This has been discussed at length on the League City Blog. Now that the county has been asked to intervene, I felt it was necessary to post this thread here. Don’t just sit there reading. Sound off and tell us what you think.
