This site is monitored by our local politicians and we need to get the word out to them for the safety of all houstonians during hurricane events. The company involved does not want the 3 t.v. stations involved in this contested hearing. PLEASE POST, if you can.

Here are the latest media releases on this (you could

Hello HOBB,

We're in the midst of Fort Bend County elections with city council and school board races coming up. Anyone within that jurisdiction is requested to please get involved and contact MCC/CRD to help out. We are again trying to drive the special interests out of our local city gov't (mostly large development companies controlling our mayor). We have 3 candidates running and a good grass-roots group.

Help if you can--

Update:

The landfill court case has entered a phase of requested settlement talks (requested by the landfill company). We will update this as the need warrants. Many homeowners consider this a small victory of sorts, but we will wait and see.

r_d must have forgotten what state he lives in.
I hope for every homeowner they do prevail but I sure will be watching this.
Good Luck!!
