Bay Area Houston

It really is hard to feel sorry for Corporal Chaos, League City Council Member Justin Hicks.

Hicks recently was reelected to City Council despite his lack of fiscal responsibility, his bankruptcy filing, his book ban, his meddling in CCISD elections, his violations of campaign finance laws, his racist email to the City Police Chief, his spat with the young republics of Galveston County and more. League City voters had a choice and they chose to overlook Hick’s short comings. Yesterday’s article by I45Now might change that. According to I45Now:

“In the overnight hours of Jan. 4, League City police were called to a house in the 2100 block of Cherry Hills Drive. The initial call was about a domestic disturbance. The house belongs to League City Council Member Justin Hicks, public records confirm.”

It gets worse. According to the article the League City Police (LCP) was called again the next day “so someone – presumably Hicks – could retrieve some personal items”. And it gets worse. Hicks contacted the City Attorney in an attempt to block the public release of the police reports. The City Attorney, who according to the website, represents the city and the Council in their official capacity, has requested an opinion from the Texas Attorney General on whether the police records can be blocked. Needless to say this raises some pretty serious questions. Remember last year City Council fired the City Attorney and appointed Michelle Villarreal.

A domestic dispute at home is not in anyone’s official capacity according to the City Attorney’s mission statement. She has absolutely no authority to use the city resources in a personal issue. So why did the City Attorney request a review from the AG? Who asked her to do this? What staff members in the City were involved? According to Hicks this was nothing but a “petty argument” yet the police were called. Twice. If this was nothing but a “petty argument” why would Hicks request a review from the Texas AG through the City Attorney?

The City Manager John Baumgartner and Mayor Nick Long have no idea of the situation or why the City Attorney got involved in a personal domestic dispute of a citizen of League City. None of this makes sense. Read the article by TJ Aulds. It is disturbing especially the end.

I expect a lot of public records requests coming from various news organizations concerning Corporal Chaos. I also expect the City Attorney and Hicks to be investigated. Both should save the city the embarrassment and money and resign.
