I've sat across from the Israelis and forces from 36 nations is Bosnia and Kosovo. People wanted to give as little as they could. In politics, you have to negotiation what everyone's contributions will need.

We are a conservative county, and Rick ought to know that.

The decision to eliminate longevity pay is certainly one that would set a new tone and a new direction in commissioners court for servant leadership in Collin County instead of the Imperial Court.

There are only three of us in the race, and I am not sure what Rick is referring to. But that is not coming from this campaign. If I find out that it does, it will be stopped immediately, because that is not the way that we operate.

I was at the courthouse to vote this morning. I parked in the far reaches of the parking lot I noticed a car sitting in the fire lane and blocking the disabled camp to go into the courthouse. As I got closer to the car the license plate on the car said County Judge. We must be vigilant to guard against the hubris of elected officials. This just reminded me why I am running in this race.

This is a huge victory. My candidacy shows that the river of discontent is real and people are ready for a change. They want a county judge that looks after their interests and does not consider taxpayers as cash cows for every whim of government.

I don't have the foggiest idea what Rick is referring to. There was one incident with an overzealous supporter that I discussed with Rick.
