In today’s Galveston County Daily News we see that the AmeriWaste contract is under review. My goodness could it be that what was being said at the time (2007) is true? When you blindly turn your head or bury it in the sand to the facts and truth of a situation you help that situation continue. So where are the good old boys who defended the blatant disregard for the citizens, the small businesses and the city now? Let’s hear from them. Tommy Cones, Marc Edelman, Chris Reed, Councilman Nelson, Pat Hallisey, and of course the leader of the circus Jerry Shults what do you have to say for yourselves now that the truth is out? None of those individuals can claim to be conservative with the taxpayers’ dollars.
My thanks go to Council members Barber and Paulissen who stood up for our citizens and went the extra mile. Of course they took a lot of heat for it, but when the truth came out we find that they we motivated unlike some, not by greed or personal gain (there was never any doubt in my mind) but by the truth and what is best for the citizens.
Council member Paulissen is up for re-election and I will tell you now that he will get every bit of support that I can give. He stood up for the citizens he did what was right and some of the above individuals chastised him for it. Shame on those who did. If all our council members were like council member Paulissen and council member Barber our city and citizens would not have been in the mess that Jerry and his good old boys left us in.
