I'll frankly be happy when Herndon reaches 25,000 and the [disclosure] law is enacted. If enough money is spent on phone polls, advertisements and having people deliver signs door-to-door, that could make a change in the election.

What really bothered me was that staff did not have the courtesy to provide the bad news in the council?s Friday dispatch. Even though they knew about the problem since Jan. 20, they choose instead to deliver the message at the work session and not give the council any time to investigate alternative solutions.
The federal government is not putting appropriate resources on the borders. It's unfair to ask local officials, who are essentially volunteers, to address public policy.
It's a clear decision and it's a complete decision.
