Pratt,
Appreciate the Lubbock AJ endorsing Miller but, they forgot to list his
accomplishments. Here are a few:
- Ran on reputation on his work of the George Bush Library - oops we didn't
get that....did we ever really have a chance?
- Raised taxes after he campaigned that he would not
- Red Light Camera supporter
- Accepted the budget that had income from Red Light cameras for $500,000
- Hiring freeze because of concerns of budget
- Gave raises to many of the top earners and management of the city -even
after the freeze
- Chippendale embarrassment
- Just now got started on getting a pipeline going for Alan Henry...2 years?
- City law suits with the city medical insurance
- Animal Shelter went from a $1,500,000 improvement to now $6,000,000
project!!!!
- Crazy water restrictions last summer because of poor planning on
construction
- Tried to take credit for less water use....hmmmm what about the water
restrictions and record rainfall we had?
- Open door policy but, calls people uniformed, uneducated and citizens
against virtually everything (CAVE man)
- Strict code enforcement on parking the wrong way
- City Secretary handling of recall vote....or lack of
- City website...great pictures and boastful info from Miller and city
manager
- No definition of runoff or fine for water waste
- Allowing Jones to vote on visitors center when she owns property next to
it
- Visitors center - $1million for a building to tear it down and now $6
million for a new one....
- Last .......votes the vast majority with Deleon and Price - wow - enough
said.
Thanks and God Bless Lubbock and the USA!
