Dear Liberty Dispatch

I appreciate the job you have done. Especially this year.You have filled a great deal of the role the local media should have. By default you have taken up the slack of what one of your articles called a watchdog. We who keep up with local politics all know! You have tried to open up the doors behind the smoked-filled rooms of the high and mighty judges and the wasteful commissioners. You have cracked some light into this county and some of us are actually starting to believe it won’t always be like it has been. The press should have done that. You have NOT run endless ads and been paid for your efforts. I am sure you do not have time for pictures of little leaguers and the other human interests stories that seem to be all that fill the non-advertising space the pages and the airwaves from our local media.

November 2nd is up to us now. Either this is just the end of a big election that cleans up a courthouse that appears on Houston news far too often and for all the wrong reasons or this leaves the same people who have participated or sat by and ignored all of scandals in our local government. Regrettably, too many of the incumbents in that courthouse seem to think about nothing but themselves and the paycheck we give them and this election is all about who gets the good parking spaces to them. A simple change away from the political brothel the Archers have madamed could be the beginning a great reformation that will restore liberty and, by doing that – putting power back in the hands of people who are responsive to the needs of the people, RESTORE LIBERTY COUNTY. It's up to the people. We are so close. In 20 years in politics, I have never seen as large a percentage of the public self-motivated to take out any and all related to the cronyism we have had. For those of us who believe this county has tremendous potential, now is the chance for the public to demonstrate it.
