Mr. Mayor:
Instead of discussing the issues directly, you have now lowered yourself to the direct attack. You now accuse me of lies and allegations/lawsuits/propaganda that are a detriment to what you call “my city”. I was unaware that being elected Mayor gave you ownership and control of the entire City. I thought that as the elected representative of the citizens that you represented the people.
Anyway, let’s get a few facts straight:
I personally have only taken one legal action. This was against the City Secretary for denying my application to be on the ballot for City Council, Place No. 1. The action was taken with the Fourth Court of Appeals who, in-fact, issued an order for my application to be accepted and for my name to appear on the ballot. This action was taken by the Fourth Court of Appeals even after the City Attorney filed documents stating that my name would be placed on the ballot by the City Secretary.
Mr. Mayor, given your actions of late (including the hiring of a Private Detective to follow me) I am certain that if any of my “allegations” or “propaganda” had been slanderous or defamatory to you or the City that I would already be defending myself in court. Rather, all of my “allegations” and “propaganda” have been based upon the “official documents” published by the City of Floresville and the relevant statutes and state laws governing municipal government.
As to your direct challenge that I have lied to the people of Floresville, I would first urge your caution before making such broad statements without supporting information and facts. As doing so only highlights your questionable motives.
I, unlike you, am more that willing to discuss with anyone, anytime, anyplace, the issues that are facing the City of Floresville without the limitations of “One Minute”, you are “Not on the Topic”, or the constant interruptions of the City Manager. When and if you can crawl off your self-proclaimed thrown and fairly debate the issues, I am more than willing.
Oh yes, one more thing. Before you run off at the mouth and publically accuse someone of not being a resident of the City of Floresville, may I suggest that you first check your facts with the City Attorney.
