I’m saying that the redistricting could have taken the pineywoods counties into a distict and not been subservant to Houston as we all are today.
Brady was across the street from the courthouse and had time after his townhall, so a local took him over to tour our courthouse. They walked into the commissioners' courtroom and there sat the judge and commissioners having an illegal meeting...all Democrats.

People here tend to vote for personality and people they know. Therefore, we have really sorry municipal and county government. We have ignorant "Good ole boys."
In the past they could get away with incompetence but in today's economic climate I'm afraid it's going to take its toll. Our city sales taxes are down 13%.
