Bay Area Houston

This did not turn out as planned.

A recall petition of Texas City Mayor Dedrick D. Johnson has failed to obtain the necessary verified signatures. Unfortunately that may not be the end of the issue. According to a letter from the City the petition effort has been handed over to the Galveston County District Attorney. You can read the letter below.

As I said in a previous post: It seems like there is a pattern with some of these recall efforts, much like a playbook:

• Make unsubstantiated claims against an elected official with words like “corrupt”, “cabal”, and “illegal”. You don’t need to provide any evidence, just say it. Over and over again. 
• Find a 2 bit blogger (like me) or a self proclaimed “journalist” to repeat the allegations, over and over again.
• Post to social media all the articles and videos from these self proclaimed journalists over and over again.
• Get a local company to soil their name with some of the local voters and promote the recall effort

That’s what happened in Texas City. So now the focus is on those who submitted the petition. If the allegations of confirmed, these are very serious crimes and could land people with felonies and in jail.
