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.

The Big County Race This Year Is For Sheriff

Without doubt, the county race that is receiving all of the hype this year is the one for Galveston County Sheriff. The rumor mill is abuzz with stories that range from Freddie Poore is a desperate attempt to preserve the Joe Max Taylor / Gene Leonard dynasty, to Henry Poretto being fired from the Sheriff’s dept. While these stories and many others are all very entertaining, without proof, I must dismiss them as little more than propaganda bombs and ignore them completely when the time comes to vote. I would like our readers to submit any accurate information they may have on any candidate's for county sheriff. While this blog exist for everyone to express their opinions, it works best when people can back-up their statements with something that is at least a cousin to evidence. It would nice to hear about some of the positive attributes of our candidates. There must be some. Even a broke clock is right twice a day. Share your information with me and the rest of the voters of Galveston County.
