Bay Area Houston

It’s almost funny. Almost.

Kudos to Scott McLendon of the Galveston Daily News for his article concerning the mass exodus of deputies of the Sheriff’s office. From the GDN:

“A retirement exodus of long-time Galveston County Sheriff’s Office deputies that began when an outsider candidate won the Republican primary in March had by Friday reached 19 people who represent about 639 years of experience, Sheriff Henry Trochesset said.” “I don’t blame them. The last thing we need is someone in charge of enforcing the law that is breaking the law.”

Ok. That last part I made up but it is on everyone’s mind except for those who voted for Fullen. Breaking or ignoring the law has become a trademark of the New Republic Party. Republic voters don’t give a shit about someone who falsified government documents (unless their name is Hunter Biden). They don’t care about Fullen having his law license revoked due to falsifying documents. After all they voted for returning a bankrupt bitch to League City Council. They returned an impeached Attorney General back to office. And they returned a twice impeached, convicted felon, who has over 50 felony indictments, including stealing classified documents, looming over his head to lead the most powerful and most pitiful country in the world.

So who really cares about “law and order” or conservative values, or decency, duty, honor, country or any of that shit? Voters don’t but at least 19 deputies do and they are leaving the office before Jimmy Full of Shit Fullen takes office.

LOL. I made some funnies. Bankrupt Bitch. Jimmy Full of Shit Fullen.

Ouch. That wasn’t expected.

League City voters are interesting. They returned Tom Crews to City Council squeaking by his well funded opponent, Scott Higginbotham, by just a few hundred votes. Tom is a well know conservative. Unlike his opponent, he isn’t a MAGAt conservative much like Justin Hicks. Voters also returned Hicks to City Council by a large margin. All of that is strange. It was a good win for Crews and for the City.

Crew’s opponent spent $21,500 of his own money plus an additional amount of money from Mayor Nick Long’s Political Action Committee. Long lost on this race. His PAC did not contribute to Justin Hicks. Justin ran on his credentials of being a MAGAt conservative and decorated Iraq war veteran. The voters gave Hicks a pass on his inability to be honest about his campaign finance reports, hold a job, pay his bills, or his filing for bankruptcy. Someone with this type of record should never get near an elected office. Yet the same voters who put Hicks back in office also re-elected a true conservative, Tom Crews. They voted from one extreme to common decency.

League City Council will remain a white, male, MAGAt council with the exception of a couple of true conservatives. It will be interesting to watch Long try to bury the hatchet with those he opposed. I wonder what Council will do this next year? Maybe go after the businesses that hire illegal aliens?

Ethics complaints filed with the Texas Ethics Commission are still pending against Hicks and Higginbotham Election results can be found here.

Once again this is strange but the right thing to do.

Scott Higginbotham filed a very strange campaign finance report. It didn’t make cents. Literally. As was posted yesterday “In his second report he loaned his campaign another $16,500 leaving an outstanding loan balance of $21,500. He didn’t document over $11,000 in donations. He claims to have spent over $24,000 but documented only about $4000.”

His amended report blamed his treasurer, his wife, for the mistake. It still does not address the $5000 he gave to Nick Long’s PAC and the outstanding loan balance should be &21,500 not $16,500. Scott must be well off to be able to spend $21,500 of his own money for his campaign. Nothing wrong with that. Personally I think it should be against the law for self financing a campaign but this is Texas. Money rules.

League City ought to require all candidates to take a class on how to file a campaign finance report. Justin Hicks could teach it.
