It may have taken the United States ten years and over a trillion of our mostly-nonexistent (i.e., debt-effective) taxpayer dollars to get their man, but fortunately, Mayor Randall has been considerably more efficient: Galveston County Daily News reported yesterday that her private investigator traced the controversial League City Votes website to one particular candidate.
I mentioned in a previous rant that Centerpointe Communicator is primarily a lifestyle blog, but that it's worth taking a look at what's happening politically when the situation calls for it, because our lifestyles are formidably impacted by the financial decisions that our elected representatives make. And when I see the type of smear campaign represented by that website, it makes my blood boil. Nobody said politics was anything less than a blood sport, but that stuff is the equivalent of pre-emptively salting the suburban fields. It's hard enough for conscientious citizens to sort through the real issues and the fiscal choices we face without having dirt thrown in our faces in a sight-blinding effort. Fight fair, you flaming idiots!!! You owe us that much, and if you had any respect for the electorate, you wouldn't need to be reminded of it!
Interestingly, we may not have heard the last of this issue yet, as there are suggestions that the lack-of-disclosure extends more deeply than the fingered fall guy. But for that, I refer you to The League City Blog, where the debate is already in progress.
