[AGL] TOON-IN

[Wayne Johnson]

Too bad you and the Other Wayne aren't on good terms because I think he would provide a pretty good fishing companion to your grandkids.  They might even catch some fish.

Thanks for the information.  Sonleiter is viewed by some in the Dem Party as a "rising star".  Ouch.

  Wayne,
  Sonleitner, after years of holding the office, has been a disappointment. First she snuggled up with them-that-brung-her, the developers, and has imperiously let the office go to her head. She supports the effort to cover the county with toll roads and treats those who come before the commissioner's court with disrespect bordering on contempt.

  Sarah Eckhardt, daughter of the late Honorable Bob Eckhardt and Nadine Brammer Eckhardt, a treasured friend, worked for eight years as a prosecutor in the Travis County Attorney's office and has had dealings with Sonleitner which led her to run for County Commissioner in opposition. He is also carrying on a family traditon of public service. I consider her a refreshing bright spot on the political landscape.

  At a candidate's coffee at Jim and Debbie Parish's Thursday evening she characterized herself as an insider running to improve what's been going on, or not going on, in some cases, like not having an integrated county-wide computer system in place after it was authorized ten years ago. I'd say that's quite a bit of footdragging.

  More later, the grandkinder has arrived and wants to go fishing...

      Igor,
      Another winner! I'm off to do phone calling for the Sarah Eckhardt for County Commissioner campaign. If you know anyone who votes in any #200 precinct, they will be able to vote to roust incumbent Karen Sonleitner off the Commissioners Court and be a vote to keep Travis County toll road free.

      It's about RIGHT OF WAY, dammit. In Houston the rep eated toll booth beat out congestion for interfering with the flow of traffic. It's just another tax, that impacts low income people most. That is despicable. What will conservatives stoop to next?
      In Portland I crossed a toll bridge that had stopped taking tolls because the bridge had been paid off. 

      Well! It's a fine kettle of fish that here the roads proposed for impeding with toll booths are already built and paid for! Let them eat losing!
      Best
      Frances
