City Election

Ok everyone it’s prediction time. Will there be more than 6000 TOTAL (Early and Election day) votes cast in this municipal election? Give us your best estimation after factoring in all that you factor in …. And what do you factor in ? For example do you think “Anything League City” will help increase voter turn out ? Do you think endorsements turn out voters ? What motivates you to vote? A single issue? Our city economy ? Traffic problems? High Taxes? Poor use of tax dollars? All the above? None of the above? And last what are you saying with your vote ? Are you voting for that candidate or against the opponent? Just a thought or two.

Why no regular unleaded?

Is this the situation that we are facing in League City today? Don't panic. Like George Harrison sang "All things must pass".

Anything League City

Check out “Anything League City” tonight with guest candidate Tim Paulisson starting @ 7PM Followed at 8:30 by “Door to Door League City” with tonight’s guests Pat Bittner who will discuss the Village Fair and Barbara Meeks who will discuss the Garden tour this weekend.

I'm sorry, in advance.

This item from Guidry:

League City City Council has scheduled a special workshop on Monday that will feature a "mock" meeting of the city council in cooperation with the Clear Creek Independent School District.
[...]
"No official business will be conducted. This is only a mock city council meeting."

In other words, it's just a regular City Council meeting.

I kid... I kid... just poking a little fun at our elected officials.

For those invited to Post on the front page.

There's a great piece of software called "w.blogger" which will let you post without having to open your web browser. You can download it here, then after installing it, go to " File" then "Add Account", and it will walk you through the steps. Then all you have to do is open up the program, type in your post and hit the "Post & Publish" button. It's what I use every day, and I highly recommend it.

What did you think of the forum?

Did you learn something about the candidates? Do you understand their vision for the city? Do you have a better grasp of what each one is about? What did you learn ?

A New Venture

It's been about a year since I took YBL and made it more League City focused. Since then, the involvement in the "comments" has been huge (for a city in suburban Houston) and the participation by many leaders in the community has been GREAT.

Since there have been many comments with great information that I've missed, I've created this site specifically for those community leaders (and other opinionated folks) about issues regarding League City, and to a lesser extent Galveston County. While YBL is all about MY thoughts on LC, national politics, and others... and is unabashedly slanted to the Democratic Left... League City Politics is open to all sides of the political spectrum.

The "city" is where real change can happen, and things like traffic and schools are NOT partisan issues. Let's debate them. Let's hear from those "in charge" and tell them why we think they're right or wrong. Keep it civil, but stay honest.

The sad truth is that 80% of our fair city knows little-to-nothing about local politics, and aren't aware that decisions made by the council can have immediate effects on their lives. Let's change that...
