  1. The city administration that has been supported by this ill fated Brenham city council, can now recover, if the right city council is elected. A tax payer would only need to visit city hall once and you will see what is going on; lots of high paid positions that make no contributions to the city. The majority of the high paid tax thieves don’t even live in the city limits. There are three assistant city managers. directors, and city planner, that I could never find when I needed assistance in a timely manner. No returned phone calls. We no longer need a city council that supports this corrupt behavior. A city council that has a rubber stamp that approves constant raises for a city manager that constantly increases city staff and constantly increases your property taxes. It is time to Clean The Swamp.

  2. Praying that fiscally conservative candidates will run for council seats. Run as an independent also to avoid organized opposition, please.

  3. HOPEFULLY CITIZENS WILL STEP UP AND TAKE ADVANTAGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WASTEFUL SPENDING HAS TO STOP. VOTERS NEED TO VOTE!!! TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!
