Yes, common folks that are not in the development game and feeding our taxes and bond monies to this bunch would be nice and a much larger turn-out from all the neighborhoods with an educated voice to expose the cronyism. “Heck, we need some common folks in office.

I like that - sounds like a good (although lengthy) battle cry. Of course, my favorite one was 'SPOOOOOON!' from the cartoon/comic book The Tick. ‘With the truth on our side, there is never a reason to hide!’

What ever happened to the local hardware shop owner running to make a difference in his or her neighborhood? You know the type - a person without a lick of experience in politics, but with common sense, ethics, and values. Now days, the prerequisites for a community to take you seriously is if you have been in politics for your whole life, are highly educated, well connected, and have spare money to spend on campaigns. Heck, we need some common folks in office. People that feel it, like the rest of us, when taxes are raised. People that want to take their family out on the weekend and spend their money in our their own town - not Houston or Sugar Land because all Missouri City has to offer are strip centers on every corner. People who are tired of the political system, tired of being looked down upon by politicians, and tired of having to get a 'mob' together just to be taken seriously by Council. Ugh... let me tell you how I really feel. Ha! I agree – I would love to see some non-politician types run.

I would love to see someone without the normal affiliations running for office and bringing her/his campaign directly to the people. We have too many already cut from the industry template and produced willy nilly for our consumption as if we were at the mall selecting a pair of socks and acting like it really doesn't matter which one we pick. It is time to jump outside the failed paradigm of corruption (you know, the 'lets make a deal' bunch).

Frankly, there are a few people out there that would like to 'make a difference' and run for office, but have little experience at all - just plain old common sense. Does common sense trump political experience? What about people with no record?

Not to mention special abatements, taxing zones and other budget busting and property tax increasing deals. But anytime you tell us to support someone wf, you can make a safe bet that you lost quite a few votes for your endorsement. 8^ ) Well, if he is anything like your hero, he will make sure the tax dollars get to the right companies in that “fast track” process they have set-up for the best contributors.

Check Owens campaign finance reports and see why so often while the community sleeps we elect those that are in "the biz" as patriot mentions above and then stop questioning why your taxes go up every year. Start electing average citizens, not in "the biz", and you may see this stop, but until then enjoy the ride. It is happening at all levels of government (school district, cities and county) and it is all about your bonds and tax dollars. What an industry politics has developed into.

It is something completely different to be business friendly in order to see personal and professional gains. I have seen it posted on here once or twice that Mr. Nguyen has a vested interest in Missouri City, from a development standpoint. He may have a hard time distancing himself from that perception - if in fact, he wants to.
