Mayoral candidate Robertson hosts downtown rally, hopes to decrease debt in Lubbock - interesting in that his base of support, and those who attended, are the pro-spending, pro-bond debt for all types of projects crowd. The financing of maintenance was put in place by his supporters!

KJTV just can't join the FBI and close the case - KJTV has been the chief rumor monger in this case from day-one. With an anchor running personal hit-stories on an individual while failing to disclose his substantive conflict of interest in those stories. And now, when the FBI closes it out, meaning no justification for any criminal matters, KJTV tries to confuse, in the minds of voters, a civil contract dispute with what they've colored as possible criminal action by those in city gov't. Shame on KJTV. Maybe they just swim in a sewer so often that they can no longer smell the stink.

bullet

FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office drop investigation against city of Lubbock - so much for the city manager publicly calling the firm's owner a "crook". That is a criminal and what else is wrong is that the city manager has not had to pay a price for this wholly unprofessional defamation.

4 years later, FBI investigation into city hall is over - with nothing, nada, zilch. Take that you rumor mongers! And KJTV-34 (especially non-disclosing of conflicts of interests Jeff Klotzman), you owe apologies to several and especially former councilman John Leonard and Gary Boren.
