Let’s talk about approving the mayor’s budget. I understand the Mayor will request a 5 cent tax reduction and will make the council decide where the cutting will happen? 5 cent reduction ? Talk about show boating at the expense of our city ! I guess the first thing that needs to go is the mayor request for a new position! Thoughts???

What do you think are the real issues of the city? The victory lakes cut through? The new city waste water facility? Charter revision committee? single member districts? roof top development? Accepting developer money after slamming opponents for accepting the same? The Mayor? A Council member? Political consultants being paid (Possibly with your tax dollar) to write a job description when the

Despite what some try to do to stifle the freedom of speech in League City this is America and Independence day. Have a safe and happy 4th of July but remember the city ordinances regarding fireworks in the city limits.

If the mayor receives 300 emails a day, as stated in the last council meeting, that means he gets 109,500 a year …hmmm so over his three year term the mayor will receive 328,500 emails. Is that a world record ? Someone should call Guinness !

I keep hearing that the Mayor feels like he has out grown Mr. Marcum and has made a move to the big time !!! And of course the taxpayers will pay for it to the tune of 40,000 thousand a year. Will this new position be a full time Job? Or will this just be a paycheck job? I keep hearing that the person will ”stand in” for the mayor. My question is why? We did not elect this individual to represent

So the mayor will appoint Mr. E. A. “Trey” Apffel III to chair the Charter revision committee. That is a good start. What about the rest of the committee? Are there going to be set boundaries for the committee ? Like no change to the recall provisions? Also couldn’t help but notice that the council as well as the P & Z are still “bogged” down on those “few pieces of property that slipped through

The mayor has decided that since he cannot knock off who he wants from the Charter Revision committee, he will load it with his “kids” to cancel their votes. Changing the process to give him control is a trade mark of this mayor. Another perfect example is the new City snitch position. $ 60, 000 you report to the mayor only and will snitch on all the city employee as well as keeping close tabs

Lake Placid in League City ? It appears that an alligator is out and about in the water ways near the Signature Point Apartments.

There has been discussion over the appointments to the Charter revision committee. It has been rumored that the mayor has requested that each council member make two recommendations and he will select one of the two. Now maybe I’m stupid, but If the committee will be made up of one person selected by the individual council members why would you ask for two recommendations? Surely the mayor is not

The study is in and the discussion continues ….What do you think ? I notice council member Barber made a few comments… I wonder where our mayor stands on this subject?

After collecting tens of thousands of dollars from developers the mayor has decided on his legacy. What do you think? Did the mayor have anything to do with this project? (where was he when the council voted it down?) What do you think his “legacy” should be? I personally think that doing the correct thing for the citizens would be a great legacy. I would think that being honorable, forthright,

What do you think ? Council member Cones beat the "curse of the incumbent" and did it in a field of three.

You have listened to them all, with the exception of council member cones, on anything League City. Hopefully you have seen the forum. You know that the control of the city’s direction is at stake. Will the citizens of our town vote to allow the mayor to control the council ? Or will they vote to allow the city council to be the voice of the people? The decision is up to the voters.Polling

Is it true that the mayor will appoint his personal paid campaign mouth piece Onzelo Markum as his assistant drawing $ 70, 000 of our tax dollars a year keeping his partisan consulting business? Surely this has got to be false. Hiring your paid consultant on the taxpayer’s dollar? How long do you think the taxpayer’s are going to put up with that? Will the council rubber stamp this good ol’ boy

The Mayor’s money….. Seems like a lot of developer money in there. Wasn’t this the same man that criticized his opponent for accepting developer money? There must be a logical explanation for this. I just cannot believe our mayor would deliberately mislead (Being VERY KIND) the tax payers. C’mon mayor explain all that developer money to the citizens of our great town. Remember you are a public

What do you think? Should this be a wake up call to most of the elected and employed officials in our town? What do you think of those that failed to inform or keep up with this project? Do you think the city was pressured into a decision? Or were the “stars in line” for this project. What do you think about the statement by former mayor Harrison when he said “Take a look at that intersection at

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
