By Lucretia Cardenas

Blair said that she would not divulge the information until the affected employees were informed.
When asked when the information would be available, particularly the changes to Norrell’s compensation, she asked reporters if they would like his bathroom schedule too.
Walker said there is no problem with performing multiple evaluations during a single executive session but did say an issue addressing a category of employees, a class of employees or employees in general needs to be done in public.

President Don Norrell
Gov. Perry
Salary:
$150,000 per yearPolice protection provided
Plane Provided
President of the United States
Salary $400,000
Secret Service Protection
Plane
Armored vehicle
President Don Norrell of TW
Salary approaching $300,000
No Plane
No armored Vehicle
No police protection
Considering the Mayor of Sugarland was robbed in his driveway this morning, Carjacking in Panther Creek (http://montgomerytx.countymonitor.com/) , and judging by the salary for someone who appears to be over that of the Governor of Texas, and almost that of the United States President, We need to act.
With crime escalating in TW, we must immediately have a another Bond Election to purchase an Armored vehicle and Secret Service protection for President Don Norrell.
With that money we can buy him an airplane to go with the new extension of the runway at the Conroe Airport.
Woodlands "1" will be departing for Japan to buy more Koi for the private pond.

At least we know where the Bond money went.

Do you want them to be just like you?
I look at the visitors to my blog, http://bustcorruptionthewoodlands.blogspot.com/, and see the visitors. Law firms, Cities, to include ORN, Shenandoah, Montgomery County, County and state Vendors.
Of course there are Federal agencies, even NCIS. Why?
Are you curious to what we have uncovered? Do you want to know if your name is mentioned?
Are you looking to try to file a lawsuit? Or all of the above?
What the hell happened to us?
There has always been corruption, but now it seems like everyone in government has a conflict of interest.
Mayors, Senators, Congressmen, Commissioners, DA’s, cops…………………………………….. Why?
Is the money so good that you will sell your soul for a buck?
Is integrity worth nothing?
Is this why Obama is forming a federal task force to come after you?
Is there never enough money or power? Will you sell out your country, your children, your friend, neighbor, and your family, just to have the power?
I’ve listened to people say conflicts of interest are OK if it benefits others. The problem is that is a smoke and mirror show.
Is this what cops and soldiers die for?
Do you have no shame?
Can you look in your child’s face and say, I do it for you?
Are you really proud of yourself? Do laws mean nothing?
Then why have them? Why have the Ten Commandments?
Why don’t we just become a third world nation and take to the street with guns. Why don’t we all try to become Rich Warlords?
Can you look in the mirror or your child’s face and feel like you are a person of honesty and integrity? Can you tell them not to lie, because lies are dishonest?
What will you do if they grow up to find out you had no integrity?

Grand Jury Biofuels
http://www.hcnonline.com/articles/2009/11/15/conroe_courier/opinion/edtnov15.txt
Grand jury review will shed much-needed light on Biofuels issue
At the very least, we hope Oak Ridge North and Mayor Fred O’Connor’s troubles will prompt all elected officials to steer clear of these kinds of controversies through full disclosure and avoiding any actions that might even create the appearance of a conflict of interest and possibly undermine the public’s confidence in their local governments.

Answer to Dog Park Vote
This email says it all:
"It is owned by The Woodlands Development Co, but will be maintained by The Woodlands Township."
Are you effing kidding me? How much did this cost the residents? How much will it cost the residents in the future to "maintain"? Water, and the shortage thereof, is becoming a big issue. What's with all the water attractions? If The Woodlands Development Co. wants a park and koi pond, let them maintain it!
I don't want to hear one more word out of those tax and spend baboons on the township board about not having enough money to build fire stations without bonds, not enough money to repair parks and pathways without bonds, not enough money to lower our assessments to what they promised and still fund additional law enforcement, and on and on.
Wow! And some people want to gripe when the WCA elects to build something for the residents in the WCA instead of giving the baboons more money to waste. My hat's off to Jeff Long, Rich Jakorac, George Van Horn, Everett Ison, Richard Derr, Stuart Schroeder and Sargeant who voted for the dog park.
Tom Campbell, John Leftwich, Hubert, Christian and Tough can go jump in a koi pond. And for those of you on the township board who own units in the Lofts, enjoy the increase in your property value and the view that we, the residents, are working so hard to provide for you. You make me sick.

The newest park inThe Woodlands Town Center offers a place for peace and tranquility among thehustle and bustle of a growing downtown.After a delay ofmore than a year, the Koi Garden on The Woodlands Waterway debuted Thursday, anAsian-inspired oasis built on two islands in front of Waterway Loft II. Itfeatures a 60,000 gallons koi pond with 33 fish, one of the largest of its kind

The Woodlands Control
No big surprises here.
Tough, your a piece of work. You didn't want your buddies mad because you voted yes, and you didn't vote no, because you didn't want the residents mad at you.
Again, it is all about the Town Center and businesses, not the residents.
