After former League City Council Member, Justin Hicks, resigned, Seabrook was poised to take over the news concerning the chaos of League City but after 4 of the 5 Save Seabrook candidates lost, the chaos city was left in limbo. Enter the City of La Marque.

On Friday an individual has filed a recall petition concerning City Council Member Joseph Lowry. (pictured) According to the petition Lowry has been harassing council members as well as citizens. There has been a number of discussions about his alleged criminal record in Washington State as well as his legal rights to serve on the Council. All of this was put to rest at the last Council meeting. You can watch the meeting here starting at 2:21:38.

Lowry has had his share of the news. According to ABC News he is being sued for $43,000 in back taxes by the county and others. The Galveston Daily News reported he was censured, twice by City Council, for making derogatory statements about residents.

Those attacks include claims that Clint Yancy Sr. — pastor of New Vision Church, 2311 24th St. in Dickinson — has fathered children out of wedlock, which is false, Kimberley Yancy said.

“I didn’t make allegations of her husband having kids out of wedlock,” Lowry said in a statement. ”Other women have alleged that, not me.”

The GDN continues with an article about an expletive filled video by Lowry. From the GDN:

Some on city council say Councilman Joseph Lowry failed to embody the spirit of his constituents Monday night when he was caught on camera hurling insults, obscene gestures and threatening to fight a man who was recording police at a crash scene.

Lowry has a particular beef with City Council Member Kimberley Yancy as reported by The Defender:

Additionally, the person Yancy and other area elected officials identify as the “ringleader” of the harassment efforts, fellow city council member Joseph Lowry, according to her, has raised the stakes in his “assault.”

A recall election will require gathering signatures to put the recall to a vote. If successful then a special election would have to be held to replace the Council Member. Film at 11.
