Hypothetical 1: If City commissioner Nurith Golonsky's family owns, or has an interest, in storage units, should she be allowed to discuss or to vote on this item? Could it be construed as a conflict of interest to limit competition for her family's commercial enterprise?
Hypothetical 2: If Mayor John Cowen operates a warehousing (storage) business, could it also be construed to constitute a conflict of interest as well and prevent him from discussing and voting on this item?
Hypothetical 3: Have any commissioners received financial or in-kind political contributions from anyone operating such businesses?
Question: Do any of the city commissioners have interests in any of the above-mentioned businesses?

If the state and federal government is corrupt, why can't the city or county be corrupt? Data centers, gambling, storage, and quick lubes are the least of our problems. All we need is a another Republican inviting a nuclear waste company to dump all their material in Brownsville, lol. Thank You Judge Cascos for SpaceX, LOL! HA HA HA!
The biggest and stupidest rats. Pedro and Gus….no están bien de la cabeza
Since when is the State and Federal corrupt? The corruption was discovered in Minnesota in which a communist was involved but that is being addressed. As for the corruption in the city when has this been addressed?
Texas is way more corrupt than Minnesota just look at any policy or social science research group. No amount of corruption beats Trump's family and friends. NONE! He's a case study, comrade! *wink
His corruption permeates across the political spectrum and destroys every politician and public servant's morale to do the right thing, either that or THEY QUIT as a conscientious objector?
Just the other day I took a dozen or so packs of splenda at Whataburger when no one was looking. I don't think they mind but I admit it is theft. Bring it on Saenz! lol
-Land where my father's died!
