Hope all stay far from Erasmo, a big dissapointment for BISD. Erasmo is all show and in it for FB likes. Empty promises and very little knowledge about anything. I voted for him and now we are stuck with him. Trey, please don't be like Erasmo.

The Fourth of July under tainted President Trump AKA individual number one is all about Trump wanting to be the tyrant he has always wanted to be. It is about feeding Trump’s narcissistic ego. But to take funding from the National Parks to the tune of 2.5 million dollars taken away for renovation of our national parks system to feed Trump’s narcissism is rape of the American people.

More of the same. Just a lot of obama style hope and dreams . Browntown will always be a shit hole failure and a embarrassment to Texas.

Good riddance of Toñia Martinez.
Now the FAILED dr. rose gowen next on the chopping block.
Let's see these new politicos can get us out of been the POOREST CITY IN THE COUNTRY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS BEING THE 10TH LARGEST ECONOMY OF THE WORLD status.
Toñia, and Ricardito couldn't do it reason why they're out.
That's why gowen has to go, as well as her THIRD WORLD BIKE LANES!!!! (can't stand the bit@h)
I don't understand how is it a city so rich in assets ie., we have a water port, airport, beach access within minutes, affordable housing, affordable labor force, a university, jr. college, trade schools, beautiful semi-tropical weather, bordering Mexico which offers other affordable amenities...AND WE'RE THE POOREST CITY IN THE COUNTRY?????
Somebody anybody explain that to me HOW IS IT POSSIBLE??????

Glad to see Tony Martinez and Ricardo Longoria leave city government. They never accomplished anything. The city went backwards during their tenure and the city lost lots of money on bad real estate. Yes, Rose Gowen should go next before all our bike trails have a better surface than our streets. Lots of bicycles but few new jobs. Good luck to the new members of the City Commission we trust you can make decisions, direct good policies for the city and get us out of our deep hole. Martinez has left a lot of chicken shit that we hope you can turn to chicken salad.

Hopefully, the new Mayor will fulfill some of his campaign promises one being to provide bus service on Sundays. We really need this services for the most needed. People do work on Sunday's and other activities.

Mr. Mendez: I voted for YOU. My family voted for you. I DONT live in the southmost area, but I have friends that do. They voted for Nuri. PLEASE DONT let us down. NO MORE second chances. Martinez will go down as the worst mayor we ever had. During his tenure we had a racist commissioner at large, lost city properties, Mr. Longoria naked on the internet. Jobs, major employers gone. Thank GOD he NEVER faced a major hurricane disaster.
If our new mayor and commissioners dont live up to the job, YOU ARE OUT!!!

HEADS UP, City Commission:

LONGVIEW, Tex. — On the eastern plains of Texas, local leaders are trying to stop the bleeding of talent to the bright lights of Dallas and Austin. They are sprucing up downtown, completing 10 miles of walking trails, investing in parks and schools and making other improvements that they hope will entice young workers to stay and help this part of the state finally claim a share of the Texas Miracle.
Few parts of America have nurtured faster job growth than Texas in the years since the 2008 financial crisis, in what is now the longest sustained economic expansion in American history. But that growth has largely left cities like Longview in the dust. No state — not even California, long held up as the embodiment of America’s widening geographic inequality — has seen a larger post-recession divergence between its elite cities and everywhere else.
Nearly all of the net growth in jobs and new businesses in Texas over the last decade, Labor Department data show, has been concentrated in four large metropolitan areas — Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. The economy has evolved toward more technology and service jobs, favoring areas with highly educated workers and high-end professional service industries — and leaving smaller, traditionally blue-collar towns like Longview at a disadvantage.

Do you think people want to stay here with LNG setting shop at the local port?
This is only the beginning there are plans to bring other none friendly environmental chemical companies down here so say good by to the new generation and any type of growth. The new money seeking elected officials will stop at nothing make the buck and run is their motto...
Thanks for the advice Longview tx.
