The Clear Lake Area Republicans are hosting what should be an entertaining panel discussion about the recently concluded 83rd Legislative session on Tuesday, 8/20. The panel consists of:
- Lt. Governor David Dewhurst
- State Sen. Larry Taylor (SD 11)
- State Rep. Wayne Smith (HD 128)
- State Rep. Greg Bonnen (HD 24)
- State Rep. John Davis (HD 129)
I say entertaining because the Clear Lake Tea Party has attacked each one of these men at various times for being “librul”. And they are holding the meeting in the building where CLTP meetings used to be held when they drew hundreds of people out monthly. I’m not sure who the moderator will be but if they have a weak moderator and the crowd gets involved, it will be entertaining.
Date: Tuesday, August 20th
Time: Social begins at 6:30 p.m. with the meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Location: Webster Civic Center, 311 Pennsylvania Ave., Webster, TX 77598.
So what are you implying Mr. Jennings? Do you not think that the citizen's in our area can ask cogent questions about what went on during the 83rd Legislative session? Do you think that the audience will storm the panel with torches and pitchforks? I think the engaged citizens in our area have every right to ask questions about what went on in Austin. And I also believe it is the duty of our elected officials to answer for their actions on our behalf. As for a moderator, Mr. Ed Hubbard has graciously agreed to moderate the question and answers portion of our meeting. We hope this forum will be as entertaining as well as enlightening.
I’m not implying anything Dale. I said that it has the potential to be entertaining. That’s not an implication. Storming the panel with torches and pitchforks would certainly be entertaining! I didn’t say anything at all about citizen’s not asking questions. Burr up your butt today? Ed Hubbard is a strong moderator, so that dampens that hope a bit. Hopefully it will be enlightening but I’ve been around too many politicians to expect that.
