Is That A Pecan Tree Or A Nose?

The following is taken from Deborah Hodge’s campaign web-site. It’s from her vision of what Duncanville could be and how to get there.

“without sacrificing truth and integrity”

This is also taken from her web-site regarding the “taking away” of Mayor Green’s city issued credit card.

This is a copy of the minutes from the April 23rd City Council Special Meeting.

Here is the quick view of Item 2 of the minutes. See the second to last sentence.

Here is a screenshot from the email that I sent to Jeanne Fralicks, Interim City Manager, to inquire about any misconduct or inappropriate use of a city credit card by David Green. See her reply below.

Is Hodge using the “throw it against the wall and see if it sticks” technique? That works fine and dandy with wet noodles but this is our city at stake.

Can we survive another 2 years of stalling, running business out of town, mounting Attorney’s fees and looking for the elusive Good Boy corruption we keep hearing about?

 Only you can decide.

You may want to duck, the pecan tree is growing again.

I implore all of you to share this with your Facebook and Twitter followers that live in Duncanville. Your vote truly does count in a city election.  But I digress….

Impious Hodge Supporter Flaunts Campaign Shirt During Memorial For Troops

Posted by P. Lee on

On Memorial Day, the City of Duncanville held a beautiful service for our fallen troops that have so bravely given their lives for the sake of our freedom. It was also a day to reflect on those who are currently serving our nation and those who served in the past. A day to remember that freedom is not free and many men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us.

It was not a day to campaign for Mayor.

 

See # 6

If she truly believed in her heart that citizens are more important than politics, then she should have politely told her supporter, which sat next to her during the entire memorial service, that this is not the time or place for campaigning and to please cover her shirt or ask her to change.

One would have to guess that politics are more important.

The crowd that gathered on Monday did not show up to learn who was on the runoff ballot or to hear lies about the city taking Mayor Green’s credit card away.

They were there to remember our troops.

Could anyone be more chintzy, tacky, insensitive or disrespectful?

Did we not think about the families who may have lost a loved one?

Or where you thinking of you? Did you ask her to wear the shirt because you knew you shouldn’t?

Did you take advantage of the memorial service to further your Mayoral bid?

Were you scared to ask your supporter to cover up her shirt? Afraid you may loose a vote?

I must be mistaken or didn’t read correctly because I thought you were running on integrity.

Is this not you standing to the right?

 

Yes it is.

Integrity indeed.

Shame on you Deborah and your friend.

This Is What Proven Leadership Brings To The Table..Just Sayin…..

American Public Works Association Texas Chapter has chosen N. Main Street (Center to Davis Street) as the

2012 Public Works Project Of The Year

Category: Transportation

Division: Project less than $2 million

Is it just me, or did I read in the executive summary that the project came in under $100,000 and was substantially completed 30 days ahead of schedule? So why are we asking if this City is financially responsible? It’s a good thing our leaders that were in place, the designers and developers were involved to make sure that the firm that was hired to construct Main Street used best practices and worked closely with them to keep costs down.

Let’s not vote in a “do nothing” who wants to run off the only developer brave enough to pump his own money into these type of projects and put you, the taxpayer, in a position to have to repay the 1.4 million grant that Duncanville received to fund this project.  It’s this type of development that builds a livable and sustainable community.

Let’s not vote in a Councilman in District 4 that has no clue about transportation or who we need to partner with to make sure that we are not paying for these projects with the general fund and saving you money in the long run.

This award is what happens when you have true and proven leadership in place. Things get done.

Congratulations to the City of Duncanville, its employees and citizens. Main Street is a beautiful place. 

On a side note, I hope that Dan Jesperson of Ben Franklin doesn’t get his yarn all tangled up because the “clock tower” appear in these photos. Dan, I wish you would come out publicly and tell the citizens how much you have benefited by the re-construction of Main Street and thank the taxpayer for the $150,000 dollars that you were given to facelift your place and admit that it’s people like David Green & Grady Smithey that helped make that happen. Also, instead of having Kasey play fireman putting out your fires, you should listen to his ideas. He’s a good kid. Pull your feet out of the mud before it dries, but I digress….
