Well, no HC, I wast asking per se, but thank you for sharing. All I have ever heard Jon do is echo what callers have said. The fact that he was a reservist does not lessen him in my eyes. It's far more than I have done for my country. I too hate the public school system. I *do* send my daughter to private school, but I also understand the need of many who are teachers and participants of the public school system to 'hold the fort' as it were, and perhaps influence within the system. That again is far more than what I have and can contribute. I am not a teacher. Matthew's wife is (as far as I know she is or WAS a teacher.) Perhaps she doesnt say anything because there isnt much to add when you have a husband who already saying it. Just because a person is silent doesnt mean they are stupid or cowed.

I know I bitch about the school system because my husbands paycheck is held for ransom to pay for all the idiotic things that go on in the public school system. And why should he attend school board meetings when his kids are already out of school? He no longer has a dog in that fight,,,but by no means does that mean he should shut up about it. AGain, I only hear him echo what callers say.

City councils deserve getting critcized. Otherwise they develope the nasty habit of believing they are unaccountable. 'Nuff said.

And you're saying the only people who CAN gripe about education are those who have college degrees???? I wouldn't be surprised if you told me, a college graduate, that the only way MY opinion could be legitimate is if I have a GRADUATE degree, something I havent found worthy of my time yet. When does it stop?

What I am telling you is that Jon talks and writes about things that he has no first hand knowledge of. He is the only person on local radio that talks about Ft Bend politics but will not allow another opinion. If you want to talk about Houston there are other stations you can go to, not true with Ft Bend.

Jon is small minded and has done great damage to Conservative, Christian, Republicans in Ft Bend County. I welcome ANYONE talking about anything, I too will take every opportunity to point out the short comings of those who voice their uninformed thoughts, and Jon leads the local pack.
