A Note from the mayor

I thought I would post this email from the Mayor.

"For nearly five years, the Glen Cove bridge and related issues have been a point of contention for the residents of Glen Cove and for our City. I have directed our legal counsel to accelerate their efforts on this front and deliver to us a review of the City's potential options for resolving this matter. While we are obviously concerned with protecting the City and its taxpayers, we understand that legal risk is but one of several factors to be used in determining whether an action is proper. Fairness counts, too. I want to ensure that the residents of Glen Cove receive fair treatment as we to protect the interests of all League City's residents and taxpayers."

Thoughts? Comments?

Pre sign up thoughts

The Holiday Season is over and that means elections in League City. We, of course, have the March primary, as well as city elections in May. Sign up for city council position will start soon. In your mind, what issues will the candidate need to address? What do you believe will be the top issues for the city in this election? Flooding? Traffic? BLM ? Change in the form of government? The selection of a permanent city manager/administrator? Ethics? Development? Taxes ? What motivates you, issue or not, to vote in the city election?

A positive change

It appears that our city continues to make progress. This was on the front page of the daily news this morning. In my opinion The mayor and council are doing what is best for our city. The removal of the former Human Resources director was a vital move in the progress of our city ! Keep up the good work !!!

2010 Census

Why is it important to be counted?

Census information affects the number of seats your state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.
When you do the math, it's easy to see what an accurate count of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure. More services. A brighter tomorrow for everyone. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like:
• Hospitals
• Job training centers
• Schools
• Senior centers
• Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
• Emergency services

On a local level it will conclusively show that our area now has a majority of the county population and will assist the commissions court in the redistricting process that will ensure that our city gets the representation it deserves. It will also help in the realignment of our precinct voting districts. It will also show who the “majority minority” is in our county and help reshape the “minority” commissioners district accordingly.

Participation isn't just important—it's mandatory.

Thank you Dr. Dudney,

Dr. Dudney cares about our city, loves our city and looks out for our city. He is widely known throughout the bay area and has had a major role in the positive development of our area. As one of the members of our first city council he helped place League City on the map and grow into the city it is today. He will be greatly missed.
