I just wanted to echo what other people have already said more eloquently than I ever could in this opinion section. In a few months, citizens of Missouri City will be able to vote for City Council candidates. We need to look for candidates who are willing to change.
More than once, I’ve heard from persons dealing with the City that it is too bureaucratic, too cumbersome to deal with. New council members need to take a good look at city operations and streamline them. New council members need to represent their constituency.
The debacle of the sidewalk issue should never have happened. This is an ordinance that should have been replaced long ago based on citizen input.
We need to be a friendlier city for all legitimate incoming businesses. I’ve heard stories like most of you that businesses don’t locate in Missouri City due to alleged treatment by council members.
We need to have more citizen involvement in decision making and this can be accomplished through citizen committees on issues that advise the Council. When was the last time you heard of this happening with our present administration? Does the Council really care about what citizens think? They need to demonstrate it.
