Bay Area Houston

The warning signs are all there.

And they all point to La Marque city councilman Joesph Lowry. La Marque City Councilwoman Kim Yancy held a press conference late Friday evening to address the harrassment of citizens of La Marque, Texas City, and Dickinson by Lowry. On que Lowry arrived spewing his unfounded allegations of illegal activity as he has been doing for years. The video provided by Harvey Freeboard can be viewed here. At 10:30 the press conference starts. At 24:00 Lowry begins his disruption. At 26:34 Lowry is stared down by Mr. Beard.

Lowry is an elected official yet acts like a character from South Park. During the event one of his targets of harrassment towered over his fat ass challenging his continuous lies causing Lowry to sweat like a pig and retreat to his mini van to call his police friends for help. They came and questioned those who were under attack first.

Yancy was right concerning the political violence in La Marque and blaming those who tolerate it, support it, and laugh about it. She questioned why law enforcement has refused to address the multiple complaints against Lowry. Lowry enjoys harassing people. He enjoys the division he creates. He revels in it. He blogs about it on his Lousy News Network as if he is a journalist.

The La Marque police, the Galveston Sheriff, and the DA must get off their racist, lazy assess and stop this harassment before they are held accountable for any political violence.

The signs are there. Do something or shut the fuck up about “stopping political violence”.

From L Marque City Council Member Kim Yancy:

GM. We need your prayers. I am having a press conference outside at 6pm in front of La Marque City hall today (Friday, September 12th) regarding the political turmoil & abusive racist rhetoric being tolerated and protected in our County. Please come. The Press is invited.

I can only guess who this is about.

La Marque City Council held a special meeting to address their financial crisis. More on that below.

Councilman Joseph Lowry suffered broken arm while running around the room patting himself on the back yelling “I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO!”. Lowry was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced stupid.

But seriously. I took one for the team and watched the entire meeting. It wasn’t pretty. You can watch the meeting once it has been posted on the Council YouTube channel. Good for the Council and the members of the administration for keeping a cool head and swiftly moving to address the problem. The City addressed the situation with a press release which you can read below. Here are the important points that were made during the meeting:

• For a number of reasons the city overspent and has resulted a severe shortfall in their budget.
• This shortfall left the city with enough funds to continue operations for just a few months
• Immediate action had to taken to prevent defaulting on obligations
• The Council focused on what action to take and not on who to blame (Lowry)
• The City Manager stated very clearly that there was no fraud, no abuse, no one was running a cabal (not her words) no one was stealing money. All the baseless allegations that have been made over the last few years were just that, baseless.
• One of the reasons there is a shortfall was due to FEMA dragging their feet on reimbursements to the city. That is in the millions of dollars
• Another was the lack of revenue due to a number of reasons
• And another was the lack of accurate reporting to the Council
• They discussed the mismanagement of information concerning the budget between various administrative departments and City Council
• They needed a solution which included temporarily raising the tax rate, short term loans to cover operation expenses, and of course cuts to services.
• The City has already proposed solutions to address the shortfall and voted to move forward. Of course the individual who created the problem in the first place voted no.

So They have voted on a solution while Lowry sits back and types left handed continuing to baselessly blame the Cabal of La Marque.

If you have focused solely on the disruptions brought about by Councilman Joseph Lowry (his history is here) you probably think La Marque is a hell hole of corruption, run by a Mexican cartel, and swirling in debt. It’s not. Not even close.

Lowry has been bashing the city, the employees, and even some who live in La Marque claiming fraud and corruption for over 2 years and yet there isn’t a single ongoing investigation. He has become the Chicken Little of La Marque. And it is getting old. Prior to his election there were few, if any, negative stories written about La Marque. Ever since there has been numerous articles written by the Galveston Daily News and multiple Houston TV stations, with none on the baseless allegations being spewed by Chicken Little.

Take a look at some interesting facts about La Marque Texas:

• La Marque was founded in the 1890’s. Originally it was called The Highlands
• La Marque received the All American City Award in 2025
• Population is 20,498 as of 2024.
• White (Non-Hispanic): 35.3%
• Black or African American (Non-Hispanic): 30.8%
• Hispanic: 28.7%
• Asian: 1.5%
• Native American/Other: 0.7%
• Multiracial: 2.9%
• The city has a budget of $23,500,000 for 2026
• The city is managed by a Council with a Mayor and 4 Council Members
• City Council meetings are held every 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month
• The city has 558 businesses operating in the city
• Majority of the schools in La Marque are within the Texas City ISD with a few in Dickinson

La Marque is the All American City of 2025. Don’t listen to chicken little.

Thursday August 28, 11:30am. Be there. It will be wild.

There is a gag order hearing this Thursday concerning the civil suit against La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry by a number of individuals including CM Kimberley Yancy, former CM James Ross, CJ Beard, and Walter Burt. When this suit was filed a request for a Temporary Restraining Order against Lowry to prevent him from posting damaging allegations pertaining to the plaintiffs. This was eventually denied, but tomorrow there is a hearing concerning a proposed gag order. This is an in person hearing so I can only assume Lowry’s fat ass will be there.

You can read the proposed gag order here and the motion for the gag order here. The motion is full of examples of why there should be a gag order against Lowry.

Joseph Lowry got his big ass whooped on live stream.

Yesterday the City of La Marque Council was debating on whether to put a bond up for a vote by the citizen concerning the building of the new police department building. It was a very long meeting lasting over 4 hours. In the end a vote was taken but it wasn’t concerning putting anything on the ballot. They did vote on the tax rate for 2025-2026. But there were a couple of moments you might be interested in. I took one for the team and found these nuggets of ass whooping.

04:57:38. Lowry pats himself on the back for his successful effort to roll back taxes which eventually delayed the construction of the police department. He claims there were bribes being taken for permits. He talks about a “forensic audit” that has not been performed. You can hear a UGH from someone on the Council.

04:49:42 Mayor Bell lays into Lowry concerning his baseless allegations of corruption. No one is talking about corruption, not the police, not the DA, not the Sheriff, not the citizens. The only one is you Mr. Lowry. [not the exact words] Bell tells Lowry that a forensic audit requires focus, a starting point, which Lowry has failed to provide. LOL.

05:05:30 Lowry continues with his baseless allegations of corruption. Bell tells Lowry to stop the lies of corruption. Lowry makes a stupid threat of “be careful” as if he is going to do something, and he did later. Bell continues to ask Lowry to bring a positive attitude instead of his baseless claims in order to move the issue forward. Later Lowry posted some kind of audio that he claims proves his allegations of corruption.

06:06:57 Bell continues his beat down of Lowry for his baseless allegation. It’s been a year and a half since he has been on the board and all he has done is make allegations with no proof.

What a shit show. The video has been posted.
