AS A COMPLETE BETRAYAL OF THE VOTERS AND TAXPAYERS OF

THIS COUNTY.  HE IS A BENEDICT ARNOLD  A TRAITOR OF THE PEOPLE.

HARDIN COUNTY ELECTED PERSONS ARE TAKING CUTS SUCH AS PHONE, AUTO, CELL TO BRING DOWN THE BUDGET.

EDDIE ARNOLD GETS UP THERE ON THE NEWS AND SAY WELL MAYBE MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE MIGHT CONSIDER IT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

FIRST OF ALL EDDIE REFUSES TO GIVE UP HIS CAPITOL PROJECTS IN LIEU OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WE ARE FACING. HE REFUSES TO PUT IT OFF FOR EVEN A YEAR.

NOW THE POMPOUS ARROGANT COMMISSIONER REFUSES TO GIVE UP THE GOODIES TO SAVE MONEY FOR THIS BUDGET WHILE KEEPING HIS LARGE DEPARTMENT BUDGET HIS HUGE STAFF AND ALL HIS PET PROJECTS.  AND TRYING TO APPEAR ALL HUMBLE WITH THE I'LL TAKE A 5% CUT IN PAY. OH PLEASE THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE A DENT.

LETS LOOK AT THIS.  NOW THIS ISN'T NEW I HAVE REPEATEDLY TOLD YOU ALL ABOUT THIS AND YOU BLINDLY GO ON YOUR WAY AS IF YOU NEVER HEARD SOMEONE GIVE YOU THESE OUTRAGEOUS FIGURES.

CAR ALLOWANCE    $220,455

CHANGE YOUR VOTE ARNOLD.  DO IT NOW.  YOU REMIND ME OF THOSE KINGS IN THE BIBLE THAT REFUSED TO LISTEN TO THE TRUTH AND STOP BEING STUBBORN AND HEY SOME OF THEM WENT INSANE.  WE DON'T WANT THAT FOR YOU ARNOLD.

BY THE WAY I KNOW WHAT WALKER AND DOMINGUE HAVE ON YOU TO MAKE YOU VOTE THEIR WAY.

NO BUDGET WORKSHOP TO DAY AFTER COMMISSIONER COURT

GOT TO GO.

I HAVE BEEN UP SINCE 4 AM AND IM STILL RUNNING BEHIND.

HOW DO I DO THESE THINGS?

 

RHONDA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 CENT TAX INCREASE IS COMING OUR WAY.

 

NOT DISCUSSED:  COUNTY EMPLOYEE RAISES

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING DOCUMENTS TO MY WEBSITE SO YOU CAN READ THEM FOR YOURSELF.

THE FIGHT FOR THE DEPUTY CONSTABLES IF FAR FROM OVER.  ARNOLD MADE A STUPID DECISION

DOMINGUE AND WALKER HAVE USED REVENGE AS A PERSONAL WEAPON AGAINST THIS DEPARTMENT. IT HAS BEEN TARGETED BY BRANICK, WALKER, ARNOLD, AND DOMINGUE.

WALKER HAS WITHOUT A DOUBT BETRAYED THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES.  WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR COUNTY JUDGE HE MADE THE PROMISE COUNTY EMPLOYEES WOULD NOT LOOSE THEIR JOBS.

HE LIED.

REMEMBER HEY ARE CUTTING YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AND PUTTING YOU AT RISK FOR THEIR OWN EGO'S.

EVEN CARL GRIFFITH WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THIS.  WALKER IS UNTOUCHABLE HE IS OUT, THANK GOD. WHAT A LOUSY COUNTY JUDGE HE MADE.   DOMINGUE IS OUT.  THAT IS UNLESS BRANICK HIRES HIM AS AN ASSISTANT OR HAL RETIRES, LEAVES, OR BRANICK AND DOMINGUE SQUEZE HIM OUT SO DOMINGUE CAN TAKE HIS JOB.

AFTER THE BUDGET HEARINGS FOR THE CONSTABLES I GOT UP AND ASKED OVER AND OVER AND FRANKLY I HAD TO YELL IT TO GET A RESPONSE BECAUSE THE COWARDS WOULDN'T ANSWER ME, IF FORD PARK WAS GOING TO CUT 9 OR 10 EMPLOYEES.

WE HAVE TO LOOSE 9 DEPUTY CONSSTABLES FORD PARK SHOULD LOOSE 10 EMPLOYEES.

INSTEAD COMMISSIONERS ARE LETTING FORD PARK KEEP THEIR 24 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND 3 PART TIME EMPLOYEES

WHILE CUTTING YOUR COUNTY SERVICES. 

AFTER THE BUDGET HEARINGS WERE OVER, PEOPLE WERE LEAVING, THIS HAPPENED.

FINALLY MR. SINEGAL HEARD ME AND  ASKED ME WHAT DID I SAY AND I HAD TO TALK LOUD THERE WAS SO MUCH NOISE;  IS FORD PARK GOING TO LOOSE 10 EMPLOYEES HE RESPONDED HE DIDN'T KNOW. WHICH MEANS NO. (NOT HIS FAULT)

AFTER COMMISSIONER COURT I THANKED HIM FOR RESPONDING TO MY QUESTION.

THEN EDDIE ARNOLD CHIMED IN AND I SAID (ACTUALLY I YELLED IT)  YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF FOR THIS VOTE YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS. YOU HAVE PUT NINE- 9 GOOD MEN OUT OF A JOB AND THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND MORTGAGES, CAR NOTES CHILDREN TO FEED AND TAKE CARE OF. WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO DO. 

ARNOLD:  "DO YOU WANT YOUR TAXES TO GO UP" 

ME:  IT ALREADY HAS AND I PAY TAXES ON 3 PROPERTIES.

ARNOLD YELLED AT ME "YOU NEED TO LEAVE"  TO WHICH I RESPONDED

NO,  I DON'T HAVE TO,  I AM A TAXPAYER I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE.

AND I ALSO SAID YOU DONT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO TELL ME TO LEAVE. IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT I SAID GET OFF THE BENCH.

THE WAY I LOOK AT IT PEOPLE IS IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON THAT COURT  THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE AFFECTING OUR LIVES WILL BE REVIEWED AND IF WE DON'T LIKE YOUR DECISIONS YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IT.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT .     YOU LEAVE!!!!!!!!

DOMINGUE AND WALKER KEPT SILENT.  WHY?  BECAUSE THIS WAS A PLAN THEY FORMULATED A LONG TIME AGO AND THEN PUT INTO ACTION.  BECAUSE IT WAS PAYBACK TIME FOR NOT ENDORSING DOMINGUE FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS.

COWARDS!!!!

DOMINGUE AND BRANICK WENT ON A FISHING TRIP TO ALASKA TOGETHER AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK THE MEMO WENT OUT.

DISGUSTING ISN'T IT.  YOUR LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF JUST A FEW PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY. 

THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY OF BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS THERE WERE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAD NOT EVEN CUT 5% FROM THEIR BUDGET AND THESE FOOLS FIRE 9 DEPUTY CONSTABLES. 

THEY PETTED THE BUTT OF FORD PARK  AND TARGETED LAW ENFORCEMENT.

BRANICK WAS THE ONE AT BUDGET HEARINGS FOR CONSTABLES THAT WITH PURPOSE AND INTENT A REVIEW OF ONE CONSTABLES BUDGET SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A VOTE RIGHT THEN AND THERE TO FIRE THE 9 DEPUTY CONSTABLES.

YES HE DID AND HE DOESN'T HAVE A VOTE YET.

WE ARE STILL CUTTING THE BUDGET AND HAVING WORKSHOPS EVERY MONDAY AFTER COMMISSIONERS COURT AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEGOTIATIONS DEPUTY CONSTABLES GET FIRED.

DO YOU NOT SEE HOW PLANNED THIS WAS.  I WAS APPALLED THAT THEY WERE SO CALLUS AND COLD BLOODED, JUST PLAIN MEAN AND WOULD NOT LISTEN TO REASON.

TO THIS DAY THEY WON'T LISTEN TO REASON, EVEN WHEN THE CONSTABLE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY WOULD GIVE UP THEIR RAISE IN LIEU OF THE DEPUTIES KEEPING THEIR JOBS.

THEIR ACTIONS HAVE CAUSED 3 DEPUTIES TO RETIRE.  SO NOW THERE IS ONLY 6 TO SAVE THEIR JOBS. 

THIS TELLS YOU IT WAS A PERSONAL VENDETTA-- STUBBORNNESS --EGO-- REVENGE--HATRED--AND ON AND ON....RUNNING THIS BUDGET SESSION.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T KEEP VIGILANT ON THIS COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND YOU DON'T FORCE THESE ELECTED PERSONS TO ANSWER FOR THEIR INSANE DECISIONS.

I HAVE WARNED YOU FOR YEARS ABOUT THIS.  BUT YOUR TOO COMFORTABLE TO DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT BE

FOR THE PEOPLE

BY THE PEOPLE

AND OF THE PEOPLE. 

YOU WILL REGRET THE DECISION TO TRUST YOUR LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT QUESTION OR INVESTIGATION.

BUT BY THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

AUGUST 9, 2010

What's been missing at the round table talks during budget hearings?  SALARY INCREASE FOR THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES. No one has said a word about it.  I haven't heard it.  Now ARNOLD, WHO FIRED 9 DEPUTY CONSTABLES made a impotent gesture by saying he would take a,  what was that,  5% salary decrease.  OMG what a laugh.  How utterly ridiculous. Seriously laughable, Commissioners make around $90,000 and that would be about $4,000 or $5,000.  Give or take some.  Why didn't he fire 3 people in his department? 

Give up some of those cushy benefits he get off the taxpayers.

  We know Jeff Brannick said he would take a $10,000 pay cut  That's not even $1000 a month.  Jeff Branick who started the whole fire 21 deputy constables.

WE ARE ONLY TALKING  ABOUT ONE YEAR, RIGHT? 

Now remember ARNOLD WHO FIRED 9 DEPUTY CONSTABLE AND CUT YOUR COUNTY SERVICES

REFUSED TO GIVE UP THE COURT HOUSE CAPITOL PROJECT FOR THE COMING BUDGET YEAR. Yes there were contracts but they could have been postponed and ARNOLD  refused to put it off for the budget sake.

AUGUST 9, 2010

Today is of course commissioner court. After court we have a workshop for additional budget update.  Now last week Jeff Brannick the new county judge was present because of course he is walker's legal assistant.  But what was so interesting is that during court he was very quiet.  During budget update he never said a word.  He is laying low because he is the architect of FIRING 9 COUNTY DEPUTY CONSTABLES.

Walker just lied to the county when he said in a tv interview that Jeff had nothing to do with it.  Walker said it was his idea. If you believe that you will believe anything.

Let me tell you now, it was a collaborative effort.  Walker, Domingue, and Jeff  Brannick.

Domingue and Jeff Brannick went on vacation together to alaska. When they came back the Memo was written up  stating as fact that the deputy constables were to  be FIRED.  All  21 were going to be Fired.  However 9 made it to the chopping block. 

Every one of us out there knows that this is Domingue's revenge against the constables for not endorsing him in the last two elections. Domingue holds grudges and waits for the time he can exact his revenge.  Since Domingue has been voted out of office the budget hearings became the perfect opportunity for him to drop any shred of integrity he may have had left and resort to good ole fashioned revenge.

CUTTING SERVICES TO YOU IN THE FORM OF SAFETY.

ARNOLD, WALKER, DOMINGUE VOTED TO CUT YOUR SERVICES BY CUTTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. 

We will talk more about this. Lots to tell you.

MARCH 15, 2010

YOU KNOW HOW I KEPT THINKING SOMETHING ABOUT JIM FERRELL ISN'T RIGH? IT JUST BUGGED ME THAT I KNEW HIS NAME ANC COULDN'T PLACE IT.  PEOPLE KEPT SAYING HE IS WITH THE YMBL. SO WHAT.  AND WALKER AND THE RICH PEOPLE OF BEAUMONT WERE RUNNING HIM.  YES WE KNOW. WELL EVERY TIME I SAW HIM HE WAS HANGING AROUND GUIDRY. ALWAYS IN CONVERSATIONS WITH HER.  ALWAYS WITH HER.  I KEPT TELLING MY SON SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH HIM.  HE KEPT TRYING TO BE CHUMMY WITH ME AND I WASN'T BUYING IT. THEN HE GOT MAD BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HOLD CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM.  AND WHEN EVER A "QUESTION" WAS ASKED OF ME IT WAS FROM HIS SNOBBY EXTREMELY UNINFORMED WIFE. SHE'S LAUGHABLE. SEE HE IS THE KIND OF GUY THAT PRIDES HIS SELF ON HIS EDUCATION AND HIS CONNECTIONS IN THE YMBL.  OH YEA HE THINKS COLLEGE EDUCATION AND BUSINESS IS EQUAL TO GOVERNMENT JOBS.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!

NOBODY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT YOUR HIGHER EDUCATION AND YOUR HIGH SOCIETY CONNECTIONS. SO I KEPT THINKING ABOUT THIS AND THE ANSWER CAME THIS WEEKEND.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE GUY THAT LITERALLY MADE BOBBIE PATTERSON MOVE FROM THE FRONT ROW AT THE OPENING CEREMONIES  OF THE SOUTH TEXAS STATE FAIR TO THE BACK OF THE STAGE AND STAND.

THIS WAS IN OCTOBER OF 2004

IN OTHER WORDS HE MOVED HER TO THE BACK OF THE BUS.  WHY WOULD HE DO THIS ONLY TO HER AND NO ONE ELSE.  READ ON..

I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE BOYCOTT CALLED AGAINST THE FAIR. I THINK IT WAS JUST SOMETHING DONE TO SHOW THE EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WAS FORCED IN THIS SITUATION. 

Councilwoman Patterson describes what happened to her at the fair as "unfriendly, disrespectful, insulting and humiliating."

She had demanded an apology from YMBL president Jim Ferrell. Patterson claimed Ferrell did not allow her to sit with the other elected officials on stage, although she had walked up with Mayor Evelyn Lord.

Patterson said Ferrell took her to the back of the stage and told her in a rude manner to stand there until he came to get her.

Ferrell told KFDM that he called Patterson to apologize.

Patterson said she did not consider his call a sincere apology.

She said since she was insulted publicly, he should apologize to her publicly

She was invited, along with other members of city council and area dignitaries, to attend a reception prior to our opening ceremonies program. Ms. Patterson did not receive a formal invitation to sit on the stage nor did any other member of city council with the exception of the Mayor, and she did not have a speaking part during the program.

LET'S LOOK AT THIS.  FERRELL WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE YMBL, BET THAT DIDN'T LAST. AND BOBBIE PATTERSON WAS A COUNCIL WOMAN.  SHE WAS AN ELECTED PERSON. GET IT.  SHE WAS INVITED AND ASKED TO BE THERE.  SO SHE WALKS UP ON THE STAGE WITH THE OTHER COUNCIL PEOPLE AND SITS DOWN AND WHILE THINGS ARE PROGRESSING FERRELL WALKS OVER TO HER AND TELLS HER SHE HAS TO MOVE. 

HE TAKES HER TO THE BACK OF THE STAGE AND TELLS HER SHE HAS TO STAND THERE. SUPPOSEDLY HE IS GOING TO GET HER A SEAT BUT NEVER DOES.  WHY DID YOU MAKE HER MOVE ANYWAY DING DONG.

SHE LEAVES. I WOULD TOO. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS IS HISTORY.

PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS ENSUE ABOUT APOLOGIES AND BOBBIE DECIDES IF HE CAN SO RUDELY ON PURPOSE EMBARRASSES HER AND MOVE HER TO THE BACK OF THE BUSS IN PUBLIC HE CAN APOLOGIZE IN PUBLIC.

DON'T BLAME HER A BIT FOR THAT ONE.

HOW EVER THIS WAS ALL PRIVATE UNTILLLLLLLLLL

FERRELL LEAKS IT TO THE PRESS.

BINGO.

THEN IT BECOMES PUBLIC AND THE MEDIA GETS INVOLVED.  HE IS DOING OVERTIME COVER MY ARSE.  THE YMBL IS LOOKING BAD ABOUT THIS TIME. BECAUSE FERRELL PRESIDENT OF YMBL SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT AND LEFT THE SITUATION ALONE. DEAL WITH IT LATER IN PRIVATE AFTER THE CEREMONIES. 

FERRELL LEAKS IT TO THE PRESS MAKES A PUBLIC RELATIONS NIGHTMARE OF THE FAIR OPENING AND THE UNBLEMISHED REPUTATION OF THE YMBL.

 

In a press release sent to KFDM Monday evening, Ferrell stated this:    

I am deeply and personally hurt by the comments made about me by Bobbie Patterson, especially in light of the fact that I have spoken with her and apologized. It is a shame that Ms. Patterson has chosen to take exception with the seating arrangements at the opening ceremonies of the South Texas State Fair.

YOU MEAN SHE TOOK EXCEPTION TO BEING MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE STAGE TO STAND.

She was invited, along with other members of city council and area dignitaries, to attend a reception prior to our opening ceremonies program. Ms. Patterson did not receive a formal invitation to sit on the stage nor did any other member of city council with the exception of the Mayor, and she did not have a speaking part during the program.

I have dedicated over 16 years of my life as a volunteer with the Young Men's Business League. I am proud that these efforts, along with the efforts of hundreds of other YMBL volunteers, help to raise funds that benefit the many charities and individuals within our entire community.

OH BOO HOO HOO SOMEONE GET ME A KLENEX TO WIPE THE CROCODILE TEARS AWAY.

I thank our community for the long standing support they have given the South Texas State Fair.

LE'S ALL SAY IT TOGETHER.  AWWWWWWWWWW.

NOT BUYING IT Q TIP. AND WHILE YOUR AT IT. I WANT TO SEE THE DOCUMENT THAT PROVE THE YMBL GIVES FUNDS TO CHARITIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY.  WHERE ARE THE DOCUMENTS? PROVE IT.

HE'S DEEPLY HURT THAT SHE WANTS A PUBLIC APOLOGY.

LET'S LOOK AT THIS FURTHER.  

YOU KNOW HOW I TOLD YOU HE WAS ALWAYS HANGING AROUND WITH GUILTY GUIDRY.  WELL GUILTY GUIDRY'S HANDLER IS DUCE JONES. DUCE JONES GOT HIS UNDESERVED JUSTICE OF THE PEACE POSITION BECAUSE OF THE FIREMEN AND DA'S OFFICE AND YMBL (BIG BOYS STICK TOGETHER)  THAT VOTED FOR HIM EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T LIVE IN THE PRECINCT HE HAS BEEN ELECTED TO.

REMEMBER AS HE LIKED TO PUSH IN HIS RE-ELECTION SPEECHES HE WAS A ARSON INSPECTOR. AND HE ALWAYS GAVE BIG PARTIES AT HIS $200,000 HOUSE HE SUPPOSEDLY DOESN'T LIVE IN.

INSTEAD HE SAYS HE LIVES IN A TWO BEDROOM HOUSE WITH BARS ON THE WINDOWS.

DUCE JONES AND JIM FERRELL WERE BOTH IN THE YMBL. AND BIG BUDDIES, FERRELL WAS PUT UP TO RUN TO DILUTE THE VOTE FOR COUNTY CLERK. DUCE JONES AND JIM FERRELL KNEW BOBBIE PATTERSON WAS GOING TO RUN FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, EXCEPT SHE ACTUALLY LIVES IN THE PRECINCT SHE WAS GONG TO RUN FOR. ALL THE AFAM COMMUNITY KNEW BOBBIE PATTERSON WAS GOING TO RUN. WHAT BETTER WAY TO KNOCK HER OUT OF THE ELECTION THAN TO CAUSE A PUBLIC SCENE THAT WOULD MAKE HER LOOK INCOMPETENT AND A TROUBLE MAKER.

THE REAL TROUBLE MAKER WAS FERRELL. 

YEP THAT'S THE IDIOT THE RICH FOLKS AND THE YMBL VOTED FOR.

THIS IS HOW STUPID YOU ARE.

COME ON PEOPLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE YOU SAY YOU WANT THE BIG BOYS OUT OF POLITICS AND YOU WANT THE GOOD OLE BOYS GONE AND YOU DON'T WANT SPECIAL INTEREST RUNNING PEOPLE FOR ELECTED POSITIONS. AND YET THIS IS WHAT YOU LET THEM GET AWAY WITH.

I HAVE TALKED TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE LAWYERS ABOUT OUR ELECTION.  YES IT WAS ILLEGAL AND IMPROPRIETIES WERE PERPETRATED ON THIS COUNTY.

OK LISTEN UP PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT COMMON THUG GUIDRY  RAISED THE BUDGET IN THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE IN 5 YEARS OVER 1 MILLION 91 THOUSAND DOLLARS.    

THAT SHE USES TOM RUGG AS HER LEGAL HIT MAN. WHO IS PAID BY TAX PAYER DOLLARS AND INSTEAD OF WORKING FOR YOU AND LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST, HE WORKS FOR HER.  HE PROTECTS HER FROM YOU THE VOTER USING YOUR MONEY TO DO IT.

I WILL TELL YOU NOW WHAT I SAW IN COMMISSIONER COURT. IT MADE ME VOMIT. 

HE WALKED OVER TO HER, PULLED HER TO HIM IN A IMPROPER PHYSICAL EMBRACE, NUZZLED HER NECK HELD HER TO HIM LIKE A LOVER WOULD, PUT HIS HAND IN THE SMALL OF HER BACK AND TOLD HER HOW TERRIBLE IT WAS FOR HER TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ELECTION WITH PEOPLE RUNNING AGAINST HER. HE DIDN'T LET HER GO UNTIL WALKER CALLED THE COURT TO MEETING.  I WITNESSED THIS, I SAW THIS, SO DID EVERYONE AT COURT. BUT I BET YOU NO ONE WILL ADMIT IT.

I WAS DISGUSTED AT THIS DISPLAY OF AFFECTION AT COMMISSIONER COURT.  I FELT LIKE I HAD WITNESSED TWO LOVERS IN A PRIVATE MOMENT. IT WAS INTENDED TO INTIMIDATE---- AND SOLIDIFY THE RELATIONSHIP THESE TWO ENJOY. THIS IS WHAT YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR. SHE USES HIM FOR HER PERSONAL LEGAL BEAGLE. 

THIS IS HOW STUPID YOU ARE.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE

COMMON THUG GUIDRY, WHO IN 2006 FIXED THE ELECTION OUTCOME BY PROGRAMMING THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES HERSELF.  I HAVE THE PROOF AND I HAVE SHOWED IT TO YOU BUT YOU STUPIDLY RE-ELECTED THIS MOBSTER INTO OFFICE AGAIN.

QUOTE 'WE'VE DONE OUR OWN PROGRAMMING FOR THE ELECTION WHICH IS A PLUS, WE'RE RIGHT ON TIME, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE DEPENDENT TO WAIT TO SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO GET OUR SOFTWARE ON TIME, SO WE'RE READY TO START."  2006 QUOTE.

HOW'D THAT WORK FOR YOU?

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE ELECTRON FIASCO OF 2006. YOU SHOULD I HAVE REMINDED YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. 

SO NOW WE HAVE, AGAIN, A FIXED ELECTION, FIXED RESULTS, FIXED OUTCOME BECAUSE YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE A COMMON THUG AND MOBSTER IN OFFICE, ACTUALLY A CARL GRIFFITH LEFTOVER  THAN

\MYSELF WHO HAS PUT IN COUNTLESS HOURS OF SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY AND COUNTY  AND WHO GUARANTEED YOU AN ELECTION THAT WOULD BE

UNBIASED,

LEGAL

FAIR

BALANCED

UNPREJUDICED

HERE'S JUST ONE OF THE KICKERS.  I TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN

THERE ARE NO SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS INVOLVED WITH ME

I HAVE WORKED FOR YOU BEEN OF SERVICE TO YOU FOR 6 YEARS,

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO

YOU HAD TO GO AND PUT THAT THUG AND MOBSTER CARL GRIFFITH LEFT OVER BACK INTO OFFICE.

THIS WAS YOUR CHANCE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO

GET HER OUT OF OFFICE

PUT ME INTO OFFICE TO SAVE OUR ELECTIONS FOR OUR CHILDREN GRANDCHILDREN AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

WE ARE NOW DOOMED. OUR ELECTIONS WILL NEVER BE

LEGAL AGAIN

AND YES PEOPLE SHE HAS VIOLATED STATE LAW IN THIS ELECTION.

I CHECKED WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATES OFFICE.

I TOLD YOU WHAT SHE DID TO THE COUNTY EMPLOYEE OF 28 YEARS AND HOW A FEDERAL JURY FOUND HER GUILTY OF

UNLAWFUL  DISCRIMINATION.

I TOLD YOU HOW SHE WAS INCAPABLE OF CONDUCTING PROPER ELECTIONS IN THE CITY AND COUNTY SINCE 2005 WHEN SHE DEMANDED FROM COMMISSIONER COURT THAT SHE WOULD NO LONGER CONDUCT CITY AND SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE

ALWAYS WRONG

AND THE DOUBLE DIPPING TAXES IN YOUR POCKETS STARTED.

AND YES SHE VIOLATED STATE ELECTION LAW IN 2006.

AND NOW YOU HAVE THE SAME MESS ON YOUR HANDS THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT IN 2005, 2006 AND AGAIN IN 2010.

WHAT IS THAT DEFINITION OF INSANITY?

OH YEA DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE TOLD ME OH YEA THE KNOW ABOUT JEFFERSON COUNTY AND ALL THE PROBLEMS HERE.  THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT THE IMPROPRIETY OF OUR ELECTIONS IN THIS COUNTY.

BUT YOU HAVE WALKER RUNNING THAT IDIOT JIM FERREL AND HIS PRETENTIOUS SNOBBY HIGH SOCIETY WIFE---- THE RICH PEOPLE OF BEAUMONT VOTED FOR. WHO I CALL Q-TIP.  AND WHO WAS JEALOUS THAT I HAD GIVEN SERVICE TO THIS COUNTY FOR 6 YEARS. HE DIDN'T FOOL ME NOT FOR A MINUTE.  HE HUNG AROUND GUIDRY EVERY TIME THEY OCCUPIED THE SAME SPACE.  NOW WHO'S THE FOOL.

WHAT WAS FUNNY WAS WERE AT A FORUM AND I HEARD HIM TELL DERWIN  EXCUSE ME MR. SEALS THAT WHY COULDN'T I BE MORE FRIENDLY TO HIM.

I TOLD MY SON I HAVE WORKED FOR 6 YEARS FOR THIS ELECTION AND HE WAKES UP ONE MORNING HE AND WALKER DECIDE TO RUN HIM  FOR COUNTY CLERK AND IM SUPPOSE TO BE FRIENDLY WITH THIS YAHOO.  HA HA HA.

THEN YOU HAVE DERWIN SEALS THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE PICK OF THE AFAM COMMUNITY. WHO BY THE WAY WAS A GENTLEMAN DURING THE ENTIRE ELECTION PROCESS.

THEN YOU HAD THE UNIONS WHO CAN'T STAND GUIDRY BECAUSE SHE ONLY SHOWS UP WHEN SHE WANTS THEIR ENDORSEMENT. THEY BACK A COMMON THUG. IMAGINE THAT.

AND THE IDIOTS GAVE THE ENDORSEMENT TO HER.

THEN YOU HAVE THE BOARD OF REALTORS, WHO I LAID OUT THE ENTIRE ILLEGAL ELECTION PROBLEM. AND THEY BACKED WHO?

RIGHT.

THEN YOU HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT UNIONS ENDORSING GUIDRY

LAW ENFORCEMENT.  THEY DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT OUR ELECTIONS BEING UNLAWFUL.  HOW'S THAT FOR IRONY?  HUGH?

YEA OUR ELECTIONS IN THIS COUNTY ARE UNLAWFUL PURE VIOLATIONS OF ELECTION LAW.  LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN CAUSE IT DOESN'T SINK INTO YOUR BRAIN.

VIOLATIONS OF ELECTION LAW. IRREGULARITIES.

AND GET THIS.  NOW.  YOU CAN NOT RECALL AN ELECTED PERSON.

GUESS WHO HAD A HAND IN THAT.  

AND THEN THERE WAS ME.

SOMEONE YOU HAVE TRUSTED FOR 6 YEARS, I HAVE PROVEN MY SELF TO YOU FOR 6 YEARS,

 TO FIGHT FOR THE TAXPAYER AND INFORM THE TAXPAYER AND DO THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE BACKBONE TO DO IT.

I HAD BEEN SERVING THIS COMMUNITY AND THIS COUNTY FOR 6 YEARS HELPING THE TAXPAYER.  AND YOU WANT A THUG INSTEAD.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

HALF OF YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET OUT AND VOTE.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I TELL YOU BECAUSE IT'S TO OPEN AND HONEST FOR YOUR EMOTIONS TO HANDLE.  I TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT I WITNESS. 

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY BLONDE HAIR. GREEN EYES, OR THE WAY I DRESS.

JUST PUT ME IN OFFICE AND I WILL SAVE OUR ELECTIONS FROM ILLEGAL IMPROPRIETIES.

BOTTOM LINE.

LAWYERS,  LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIREFIGHTERS, UNIONS HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU THE VOTERS TO

PUT OUT OF OFFICE THUGS THAT PERPETRATE UNLAWFUL ILLEGAL IMPROPER ELECTIONS.

SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT DOING SO.

I KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ELECTION.  I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED IT OUT WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATES OFFICE. .

OK GUYS, THE FORUM WAS LAST NIGHT, I THOUGHT KFDM WOULD BROADCAST IT LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO SO YOU CAN SEE THE CANDIDATES BUT NOPE, HOWEVER MR. SAN JUAN FROM FOX WAS THERE AND SOME OF THE OTHER CHANNELS SHOWED UP I GUESS TO TAKE PICTURES AND I HEARD ONE NEWS PERSON ASK A MAN DO YOU ALWAYS COME TO THESE FORUMS?  TO WHICH HE REPLIED "YES".  I HAD TO LAUGH. THIS GUY WAS YOUNG.  OH MY.

THESE FORUMS USUALLY HAVE A GOOD FEEL TO IT, BUT LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY DIFFERENT.  THERE WERE A LOT OF BACK HANDED COMPLIMENTS AND IN FIGHTING BETWEEN CAMPS. 

IT KINDA HAD THE BAR ROOM BRAWL FLAVOR. 

I REALIZE EVERY ONE DOESN'T HAVE MY KEEN SENSE OF RADAR PICKING UP ON PERHAPS THE UNUSUAL, BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES FOR GOOD READING.  DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.

NOW CLEAT DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PUTTING THESE EVENTS ON FOR THE PUBLIC. LAST NIGHT WAS A HOOT.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED "THE BOBBY PATTERSON  VS  DUCE JONES CULT PHENOMENON"  CLEAT WOULD HAVE MADE SOME MONEY SELLING TICKETS TO IT.  DURING PART OF THE EVENT A LADY YELLED OUT AT ONE OF THE OFFICERS, "ARREST HER".  BOBBY WAS UP OUT OF HER SEAT YELLING AT DUCE JONES AND STARTING TO RUN DOWN THE ISLE AND AN OFFICER TOLD THEM BOTH TO STOP IT.  IT WAS FUNNY.

WHICH EVER ONE YOU THINK YOU LIKE AND WANT TO WIN, HAVE AT IT.

CORNELIUS WILLIAMS DIDN'T SHOW UP.  I DON'T KNOW WHY.  A COUPLE OF THE CANDIDATES DIDN'T SHOW UP. 

OH I COULD TELL YOU SOME STUFF. 

THEN WE HAD THE ARROGANT GUILTY GUIDRY. AND HER SPECIAL BRAND OF LOOKING GLASS.  THINK OF SNOW WHITE AND THE WICKED STEPMOTHER.  I WILL TELL YOU MORE ON THAT LATTER.  EVERYTHING SHE SAID. 

RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO GO DO SOMETHING'S.  BEEN UP SINCE 5:00  AM. AND I HAVE A TIGHT SCHEDULE TODAY

I HAD A REALLY GOOD TALK WITH MR. ALFRED, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TAX ABATEMENTS AND NEW JOBS FOR THE COUNTY,  HE IS MY FAVORITE COMMISSIONER, THE MAN REALLY WORKS HARD FOR THIS COUNTY.  AND SOME GOOD THINGS HAPPENED BEFORE HE CAME TO THE  FORUM,   NEW JOBS ARE A COMING.

THANK YOU MR. ALFRED.   AND I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT SETTING UP SOME MEETINGS WITH SOMEONE I MET THAT WOULD LIKE TO BRING SOME BUSINESS INTO THIS COUNTY AND I WANT MR. ALFRED TO TALK TO HIM.  SO HE IS GOING TO DO THAT.  THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.

I GOT HOME REALLY LATE LAST NIGHT AND I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SO IT THREW MY SCHEDULE OFF.  MANY OF YOU ASKED ABOUT UP COMING VIDEOS.  OH YEAAAAAA

AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU KIND PEOPLE THAT TOLD ME HOW MUCH YOU LIKED MY SPEECH.  I WILL PUT IT ON HERE FOR YOU TO READ OR DO A YOU TUBE VIDEO ON IT. OK, BOTH.

BUT

I'LL BE BACK.

I LOVE THAT ELVIS SONG, DON'T YOU?

TONIGHT IS THE FORUM FOR CANDIDATES.  IT WILL START AT 6:00 P.M. IN THE JURY IMPANELING ROOM. 

TONIGHT AFTER THE FORUM I WILL UP LOAD TO YOU TUBE MORE VIDEOS ON WHY I AM A CANDIDATE AND WHAT MY INTENTIONS ARE.

REMEMBER I RAN FOR COUNTY CLERK IN 2006 AND THIS WEBSITE KEPT YOU INFORMED ABOUT THE ANTICS IN THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE SINCE 2004 AND 2005 and 2006.

IN M Y CAMPAIGN 2006 I TOLD YOU I WOULD REBUILD EMPLOYEE MORALE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH CITY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION,

 RESTORE TRUST IN THIS DEPARTMENT, I TOLD YOU THEN I WOULD WORK WITH EVERYONE CONNECTED TO THE CLERKS DEPARTMENT.

AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD FAITHFULLY CARRY OUT THE CLERKS DUTIES.

I WAS THE FIRST TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE MISTREATMENT OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES.  HOW SHE OWED HER SUPPORTERS AND GAVE THEIR RELATIVES NOT TO MENTION HER COUSIN JOBS IN THE CLERKS OFFICE.

I WAS THE FIRST TO TELL YOU ABOUT GUIDRY REFUSING TO CONDUCT CITY AND SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS .

I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE INSANITY OF BLUNTLY TELLING THE COMMISSIONERS " I WILL NOT DO IT".  I WAS THE FIRST PERSON IN 2005 TO INFORM YOU OF THE BURDEN GUIDRY PUT ON THE CITY'S ELECTION PROCESS REFUSING TO WORK WITH THEM.  THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTIONS STARTED AND SHE WAS INCAPABLE OF CONDUCTING PROPER ELECTIONS.

I WAS THE FIRST TO INFORM YOU GUIDRY DEMANDED A RAISE AND DEMANDED ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL IN THE CLERKS DEPARTMENT OR SHE WOULD NOT CONDUCT ELECTIONS.

I WAS THE FIRST TO TELL YOU SHE SAID TO THE COMMISSIONERS I AM ONLY MANDATED TO CARRY OUT COUNTY, STATE AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CONDUCT THE OTHER ELECTIONS.

I WAS THE FIRST TO TELL YOU SHE DEMANDED AN ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR DEPARTMENT.  SO SHE WOULD NOT HAVE TO CONDUCT ELECTIONS. 

AND I WAS THE FIRST TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION ABOUT AN E. A. DEPARTMENT WOULD COST AND WHAT IT WOULD ENTAIL.  AND ESPECIALLY HOW THAT DEPARTMENT WOULD GROW AND THAT IT INDEED WOULD BECOME A SEPARATE DEPARTMENT AND ESCALATE INTO A MONSTER BUDGET ALL IT'S OWN. 

THE COMMISSIONERS LOOK AT OTHER COUNTIES AND SEE HOW THEY HANDLE THESE THINGS AND THEN PATTERN OUR COUNTY AFTER THEM.

I ALSO INFORMED YOU OF ALL THE COMMISSIONER COURT MEETINGS BUDGET MEETINGS AND ESPECIALLY WORKSHOPS THAT WERE A DIRECT RESULT OF GUIDRY'S REFUSAL TO EXECUTE THE FULL DUTIES OF JEFFERSON COUNTY CLERK.

I ALSO TOLD YOU HOW THE CITIES WERE FORCED TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES BECAUSE GUIDRY WOULD NOT WORK WITH THEM.

AND IN THIS YEARS BUDGET MEETING SHE WAS CONDESCENDING TOWARD THE CITY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATION .

AND IF YOU WILL REMEMBER WHEN THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS INCREASED THEIR SALARY BY12% AND AGREED TO INCREASE OTHER ELECTED PERSONS SALARY ALSO.  DO YOU REMEMBER THE UP ROAR OVER THAT?

AND SINCE THEN THE BUDGET HAS INCREASED AND INCREASED.  OH YEA.  I AM LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL (THAT'S A CATEGORY) BUDGET.

REMEMBER WHEN I INFORMED YOU THAT GUIDRY WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MGT BUDGET STUDY. SAYING THERE WAS NO FAT TO CUT FROM THE DEPARTMENT?   THAT'S BECAUSE SANDY WALKER HAD THE DEPARTMENT.

 BET THERE IS NOW.

I HAVE INFORMED YOU OF ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH IN THIS DEPARTMENT SINCE 2005.

OH, DON'T WORRY THERE'S MORE.

I AM WORKING ON MORE YOU TUBE VIDEOS THAT WILL FURTHER INFORM YOU OF COUNTY BUSINESS.

SOME OF THESE WILL APPEAR ON THE 25, AFTER THE FORUM AIRS.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY YOU TUBE CHANNEL

I GLAD I HAVE BEEN OF SERVICE TO YOU.

I HAVE ADDED THE OBAMA DECEPTION VIDEO IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT.  IT IS ANOTHER OPINION WORTH LISTENING TO.

I HAVE SINCE 2004 KEPT YOU THE TAXPAYER INFORMED OF EVERY ISSUE I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH.  AND THIS HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH DOCUMENTATION AND A NEW PERSPECTIVE FROM A TAXPAYER JUST LIKE YOUR SELF OF HOW THIS COUNTY GOVERNMENT OPERATES AND THE DECISIONS COMMISSIONERS  MAKE AND HOW THIS DIRECTLY AFFECTS YOU.

WE MUST REMEMBER ALSO, THIS AFFECTS OUR CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN . 

FOR INSTANCE THE 6 CENT TAX INCREASE VOTE FOR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004 MY SON IS AFFECTED BY.  NOW IN THAT MEETING JIMMY COKINOS WAS THE ONLY COMMISSIONER WHO VOTED AGAINST THAT INCREASE.

THAT INCREASE WAS VOTED IN TO SUPPORT THE $80 MILLION BUDGET THAT WAS PASSED AT THAT TIME.  THE BUDGET WAS PASSED TO SUPPORT FORD PARK.

NOW I HAVE ALWAYS SAID WHAT THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT NEEDS, GIVE IT TO THEM.  WHAT THE D.A. NEEDS GIVE IT TO THEM. 

WE DO NOT HAVE AN IDEAL SITUATION WITH FORD PARK AND WE NEVER WILL.  IT IS BETTER BUT NOT REALLY GOOD.  ESSENTIALLY WE ARE STUCK WITH IT BECAUSE WHEN THE COMMISSIONERS WERE ABLE TO MAKE A CHANGE,  (REMEMBER THE AD HOCK COMMITTEE)  THEY DID NOT.  THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME ON IT AND WAITED TOO LONG TO PUT AN AD HOCK COMMITTEE TOGETHER AND THEN THE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT CAME UP AGAIN. 

IT WAS EASIER TO SAY WE WILL RENEW THE CONTRACT THAN TO MAKE CORRECTIVE DECISIONS.  ONE THING THAT WAS DISCUSSED WAS IF THERE WAS NO MANAGEMENT COMPANY OVERSEEING FORD PARK WOULD THE COMMISSIONERS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS BUT THEY JUST WAITED TOO LONG TO LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS BEFORE THE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WAS UP. THEY SHOULD HAVE STARTED A YEAR BEFORE THE CONTRACT WAS DUE, AND AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE OTHER OPTIONS.

BEFORE, COMMISSIONER COURT WAS LOCKED UP WITH THREE VOTES. NOW WE HAVE A COMMISSIONER COURT THAT IS MUCH MORE EVEN KEEL WHERE VOTING IS CONCERNED. 

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT TO BE DISAPPOINTED IN,  HOWEVER IT IS GOVERNMENT AND YOU HAVE TO APPRECIATE THE POSITIVE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.

THERE HAS BEEN ONE CHANGE MADE THAT IS TRAMPING ON YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH.  CENSORSHIP IS IN PLAY.

WHERE ARE THOSE TEA PARTY PROTESTERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM?

Today is monday and another commissioner court.  I will be campaigning I don't know if I can get there on time.  However lots of things going on. 

I am going to put more videos on You Tube.  My videos I will be making and up loading will give you a better perspective of the "I love to roll around and play in your money" county clerk we have now.  She absolutely has to go.  Any way i will be getting to that. 

It's gonna be good

make sure you go watch the guilty guidry video.

This week will be the forum on the 25th.  Mark that on your calendar. 

Oh you should have seen how smug she was at the church forum we attended.  it was a disgusting display. 

Second week of early voting today.  YEAAAAA!!!!!.  There are some things I need to tell you about that. 

Here is something else I am going to do.  As soon as I can figure out how to cut the video I have taken of commissioner court and other county meetings I will put it on you tube. 

I am amazed at the number of people that do not show an interest in county government anymore.

This is not something you can do once and walk away and it is done. You have to stay on top of things.  The budget this year was so much bigger, and not to mention they did raise our taxes and this is not going to stop any time soon.

rethink  involvement.

Happy Valentines Day to all. 

On this valentines day I was in the Madi Grais parade. I had a lot of fun.  Everything that could go wrong did.  Everything i had planned completely messed up.  Consequently It all turned out perfect. 

It was an experience, but it was fun.  Lots and Lots of children. I didn't know there would be that many. I would definitely do it again. 

I had no idea those floats were so big.  I just wonder, what do all those people do with all those beads. 

Any way it was fun.

Well, commish court was monday and it was interesting.  No not the actual court stuff, but what goes on before and after commish court.  That's the real show.  That stupid twitter update button isn't working for some reason or i would have updated my account.  Well I am on  my space and facebook.

Let's see commish court lasted a whole 8 minutes 66 seconds.  I know something like a world record.  hugh?  The most important thing is Madell Jornet is retiring from the county after 23 years of service.  Yep.  Gurl friend has plenty of things she wants to do.  Her party is on wednesday at 10 am and she invited me to be there.  Well, since this is thursday I will go ahead and tell you, Yes i went to her party, she had the biggest chocolate cake i have ever seen.  Lots of cookies and punch.  I asked if it was spiked, but no too early in the morning.  And well Patrick wouldn't approve.  She got lots of nice presents and a resolution, plus a watch.  I took pictures and a little video and i will put it up so you all can see.  I did capture patrick reading the resolution and giving her present to her.  It was a nice party with plenty of visitors.  Madell has been through 4 auditors and 37 elected persons.  She has been busy.  Her last day at work was wednesday.  She spent her entire 23 years in the corner office with windows.  A coveted place.  You will be missed Madell, but not to worry she is on facebook. 

So big shout out to MADELL

Thank you for the memories.

DEMOCRAT

RHONDA DUGAS IS RUNNING FOR COUNTY CLERK

I  made the decision quite some time ago.  I am running for Jefferson County Clerk. 

As you will recall in 2006 I ran for County Clerk as a write in candidate.  I received over 3,700 votes.  Actually I received more, but that was all that was reported.

So my dear supporters,  it is time again to let everyone you know VOTE

RHONDA DUGAS FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY CLERK.

I have spent six years of my life working towards this time.

DUGAS

 is the FIRST name that appears under COUNTY CLERK. All you have to do is press  my name on the democratic ticket.   As many of you know the democrats met at headquarters to choose which position our name will appear.  We chose little ping pong balls with numbers written on them and I got the #1 and that is why my name appears first.     

Do not be casual about this county clerk election. 

Don't forget all the problems we have with elections. 

Don't forget how in 2006 my opponent was responsible for the HORRIBLE mess with our voting machines and ballots.

   Don't forget how the cities were shut out in the cold having to buy their own voting machines because my opponent REFUSED TO WORK with them.  She just got up in commissioner court and said    'I AM NOT GOING TO DO CITY ELECTIONS'.   You want to know what the reason was?  It was too much work.  Yep that is what my opponent said. 

 And the double dipping in your pocket for government taxes began.  And it is getting worse.  She does not play nice with anyone. 

Don't  forget   I was the one who campaigned to  open the south county or port arthur office.  I said in my campaign speeches the first thing I would do is open that office for the taxpayer because my opponent SHUT IT DOWN.

I have the news reports to prove I campaigned for that.  My opponent was forced to open that office after the election.

 As a Tax Practitioner and Entrepreneur I will deal with a lot of personal financial information,  IRS tax laws and tax codes  schedules, forms, and of course Publication 17.  Right now I am studying all the new changes for 2009.  And there are a lot of changes.

I still attend Commissioner Court.  I still tape the proceedings.  And I still take lots of notes and I have been to the budget meetings.  Budget meetings are very educational.  It takes up a lot of time to go but worth it in the end.  You not only get a good understanding of different departments and the relationship to the court, but it can be very entertaining.

 I have been to over 150 county meetings and that is a conservative number.  And that includes many different kinds of meetings.

I have good working relationships with the commissioners, elected personnel and county employees.  I also have the highest regard for our county employees.  I certainly proved that when they had not received a raise in three years and I  lobbied for a raise for them  which they received. 

You should see all the documents and notes and information I keep at my house.  Including video and  pictures.  Boxes and Boxes.

Now commissioner court has settled down way too much.  And I am disappointed that the only time many people come to commissioner court is when they are running for office and want  to be seen.  At one time it was standing room only. 

Let me just say Congratulations Mr. Sinegal for a one year anniversary at commissioner court.  You have done well. 

It seems you all got the idea that you don't have to watch your government anymore.  HA HA. Not so fast.  There is plenty to watch.  You just have to know what to watch for.  This county has gotten complacent again.   This non action on your part has gotten you a bigger budget with lots of your money to spend. 

I happened to hear someone give a "vote for me speech"  no it wasn't a commissioner, and this person talked about how big the budget has gotten.  I had to giggle about that because this person was a part of making that budget bigger and was now using it to campaign.  Holy  Smoke.  Nobody caught on. 

The most disturbing thing:  Your voice in commissioner court has been silenced and censored.  All because one commissioner was afraid of what MIGHT be said in open court.  Where were you to question that decision. 

Oh my goodness the freedom you are willing to turn over and give away. 

Your taxes keep going up up up and I don't see any of you making anyone accountable for this. 

Perhaps you should.\

just a thought.
