I was able to catch a bit of our City Council meeting yesterday.
Today I got a visit from Gary Schroeder, Councilman from my district, District 1. I have to give Gary some credit for coming by and visit. It's clear I don't agree with all Gary has done in his first year as a councilman, but I have to give him credit for at least listening.
Gary came and we talked about several issues. The shrinkage of $2,300,000 from our reserve funds, the Texas Center, the city manager, the GEDC, the expenditures at the city, amongst others things.
We spoke about his first year on the job as our councilman and some of the trials and tribulations that have occurred and while it's taken him some time to feel comfortable with some of the things, he's feels like he's starting to really get his feet under him and able to hold his own with the pool of barracudas.
It's clear I think Gary has made a couple of mistakes this year. I also think he is sincere about his desire to do well for his constituents. I encourage you, that if you have a problem with the council, let them know. If it's with Gary, call or go by, I've never known Gary to not take the time to talk to me, and I promise, in this year Gary knows who I am personally.
You want a council person to work for you? Then let them know what you're thinking. Crystal balls are all on the fritz here in Gonzales County, so if you don't tell them what you're thinking they won't know.
In the mean time I'll keep telling the council what I think via my chalkboard.
God Bless,
Dennis Nesser
