Greyling Poats, Missouri City mayoral candidate, lead several block-walking efforts into city neighborhoods this weekend. So far over 1400 homeowners have been visited with the message for hope and change. Campaign workers are armed with official city documents, such as council minutes on their votes and the campaign disclosure reports for many seated council members.
Some of the issues that seem to be drawing much attention are the recent increased tax votes (3) by Wyatt, Owen and Jimerson and the campaign finance reports of Eunice Reiter, Barbara Gibson, Allen Owen and Buddy Jimerson. Apparently, from the reports, numerous out of city special interest have become regular campaign contributors to these council members. In some cases these elected officials have voted on projects benefitting some of those company representatives (several from Houston).
One question keeps being raised by the Poats campaign since 2006. Can these officials adequately represent the interests of the average homeowner and taxpayer in our city on issues like development, the landfill expansion, loss of the hospital, redirection of city taxes to some of these special interest, etc.
Stay tuned as we will update the progress as Greyling continues to visit voters in their subdivisions.
