Who is part of the Rowlett conspiracy?
May 24th, 2011
I just read the funniest “local” blog post I think I’ve ever read. It’s also kind of sad. Sad that anyone could write such nonsense and actually be serious about it. Rather than try to explain it I’ll just post a link to it and then ask a couple of simple questions after you’ve had [...]
Re: FW: Please vote for…
May 14th, 2011
I received the two emails below – the first one from the former mayor with more of his nonsense and the one just below – a thought provoking response from Chris Kilgore who is currently running for reelection to Place 5. The other election referred to below is for mayor to fill the seat that [...]

April 6th, 2011
Below is the text of the comments I made at the April 5th Rowlett City Council Meeting – the one that Mayor John Harper chose to miss 0 and didn’t notify council until just a few minutes before the meeting! ——————————————————————- It’s unfortunate that we have come to this point. It saddens me that one [...]

Rowlett Fire Rescue Honor a Rowlett Hero
January 16th, 2011
On Saturday, January 8th, 2011, a Rowlett hero was laid to rest. Drake Foren was an amazing eight year old boy who left this earth fighting down to his last breath. Much was said about Drake last Saturday and in the days leading up to his funeral and I’m sure plenty more will be said. [...]

Can you believe it’s Memorial Day already? This year seems to be flying by. School is nearly out and summer is starting. Now is the time we all begin to think about summer vacations, longer days and hotter temperatures. But before we do that’s let’s take a moment to reflect on what Memorial Day is [...]

What does it mean to be fiscally responsible? It’s a simple question with a simple answer – it means using our money wisely. To be fiscally responsible municipal officials, we have to make sure that our tax dollars are spent the best way possible to avoid waste and to provide the best services. This involves [...]
