I am not suprised that a friend of Bobby Marshall would come to his defense, but again I will say that Bobby Marshall has not shown his ability to think for himself and is in constant battle with kissing and sucking up to the mayor. We all know his real reason for running and who is pulling his strings along with that.
I personally recommend not voting for him.
Forgive my omission of a question mark in #7…and no, I don’t suffer from OCD, but figure children might be reading or perhaps immigrants trying to master English and I want to set a good grammatical example.
Also, pardon my dry humor in #7, but sometimes it’s just too hard for me to resist.
Lastly, Bobby Marshall is a nice man and qualified candidate whom I believe can think for himself and I personally recommend voting for him.
Bobby Marshall is nothing more than an Owenite, it’s just the same ole same ole BS. He needs to prove that he can think for himself, but then again Griffin is no better.
Is your only advice to voters to “vote for more pork” (See #6). Could you please elaborate?
We are all greatful that you cannot.
However, even though you cannot, I am sure that you will be holding their signs come election day.
Weeeeee…..vote for more pork.
P.S. Re #3: I have received e-mail from Gibson and she told me long ago she had a cell phone.
Barbara Gibson and Bobby Marshall would both get my vote if I could vote in that election.
The people are excited about this election. We need term limits in MO City. I am so disappointed that the FCCA and MO City is not having a debate. I am so interested in what the candidates will have to say. B Gibson said she is always available in Chronicle, I am laughing at it because she does not know how to use emails and don’t have phone voicemails or a cell phone. She does not respond to her people in district c. The things people say to get elected. AMAZING! Elekkat will win this race. She sould of never ran.
It is so clear that Marshall is hand picked. I like the guy but it is not right. He will listen and follow the golden rule from higher ups! History will me made in MO City during this election.
I think this election could be the beginning of some real significant change for Missouri City. Eleckatt and Griffin are both independent minded and promise to bring some fresh thinking to the City Council. The City needs some new direction. The City Council has made some significant missteps over the past year including the initiation of an Eminent Domain proceeding which they may not win. Even if they do, the City might not be able to afford the full purchase price awarded to the Course’s previous owner. The Council has gone ahead and invested over $10 million into the course without holding title which is apparently an effort to convince everyone the Course drastically needed emergency surgery. But why make these “tournament level changes” when some simple and less expensive alterations would have made the course totally playable? We need some Council members with foresight and Eleckatt and Griffin are good choices.
Support to elect new leaders.
