The San Marcos school district will be holding a meeting tomorrow to discuss what it is that the district is looking for with regards to a new superintendent. The old one has been looking for a new district for a while now and seems to have found one. The meeting is with the consultants for the search committee.
There are some areas of concern for me on this issue. The first and foremost is that the new Super. should know how to leave what works working. Namely the schools in our district that have received recognized should be nurtured so that they can continue to improve. He or she should also look at the schools administration and determine if there are any problems there.
I doubt that anyone will disagree with me when I say that the issue of student discipline should play a major role. I would like to see a leader that is not afraid to tackle this issue. I want to know what he or she has done in their last district in this regards.

Free Speech Under Attack in Kyle Texas...?
I had this transcribed from the November 15th issue of The Kyle-Buda Eagle. Big thanks to my transcriptionist! Unfortunately this paper is not online but, I felt that this story is important. I needed to do this so that I can give my readers some background on the comments that will follow in a few days. The next posting will be entitled Bloggers Bware: Kyle Texas Is Watching You

Texas Ethics Commission delves into ‘Kyle Klips’
By Mary Elizabeth Davis with the Eagle
Texas Ethics Commission officials are looking into allegations aimed at two Kyle residents and a Del Valle man of possible violating numerous sections of the state’s election laws.
The state agency requested sworn written statements, taken under oath, from Maxine Weatherford, Sherry Anderson, and Nolan Ward.
The ethics commission mailed out the Sept. 27 letters asking the trio to respond to the City of Kyle’s allegations they may have broken election laws. The commission gave them 25 business days to respond to allegations of failing to disclose statements in political advertising, misrepresenting their identity, failing to report financial campaign reports and not appointing a campaign treasurer at the time they reportedly wrote and published the anonymous Kyle Klips website and newsletters. The publications criticized city officials for allegedly wasting taxpayers’ dollars, supporting a candidate seeking the District 6 city council seat, and asking voters to vote on a city amendment to the city charter regarding the number of council votes needed to hire or fire the city manager.
“I decided it was important to share with other citizens in our community the information that I had gathered. My primary concern was that making these findings public could subject me and/or my family to retaliation by public officials who I believed were acting inappropriately. To avoid this retaliation I disseminated the information through an anonymously written newsletter, and later through an Internet blog, that I named Kyle Klips,” Weatherford said in a statement given to the district attorney. “I also did not want the issue to be about me, but about the public issues and public officials who I believe are harming our community. I wanted it to be about the message, not the messenger.
“My primary goal has been to share factual information with my neighbors so together we could improve our community. Though every fact in each publication of Kyle Klips was thoroughly checked before it was disseminated. I knew some articles contained facts that public officials would likely consider unflattering and controversial.
“I was not acting at the behest of anyone else in publishing this material. No one paid me to write or publish and issue of Kyle Klips. I was merely motivated by the desire to disseminate to my neighbors and other citizens of the community the information I had gathered.”
Kyle city council members began an investigation into who created the publications shortly after the May city election. They sent their results to the district attorney’s office.
Anderson responded to the commission’s request. She said she only edited the publication. She does not feel Kyle Klips violated election laws since they came from a private individual.
“This and the Kyle Thunderpalooza are just examples of the mismanagement and misguidance of the city council. It’s clearly an abuse of power,” said Anderson, who works as a tax policy analyst with the tax policy division of the State Comptroller’s Office. “I know I haven’t done anything wrong. We have (Texas) Supreme Court case laws that says that you don’t have to put your name on a publication that you disseminate to the public. It stifles Freedom of Speech.”
Council members removed Anderson from the city ethics commission in August upon learning her involvement in the publications.
Mayor Mike Gonzalez and City Manager Tom Mattis could not be reached for comment. Messages left for state ethics commission representatives were not returned by press time.
“What the city council never took into consideration was the fact that the Texas Ethics Commission should not hold an individual to the same standard that it hold a public official,” Anderson said. “If Todd (Webster) or Tom (Mattis) want to do something, they run to the district attorney. It’s not to be expected that a 70-year-old plus grandmother would be aware of the ethics statues.”
Assistant District Attorney Wes Mau, who handled the case when it went to the district attorney’s office, was unavailable for comment.
“I think it serves the public’s interest to ensure that elections are conducted in a fair and legal way,” said council member Todd Webster, who was re-elected to the District 6 seat last May. “I think there’s an obligation that the city has in making sure that elections are run fairly. The decision we made to deal with that issue was made prior to anyone knowing who was involved. The things were turned over to the appropriate authorities. If the ethics commission decided not to do anything with it, it’s their call.”
“If Todd Webster had a problem with the election he should have pursued a complaint.” Anderson said. “Instead he hid behind other city council members and had them do his dirty work.”
The election code requires candidates or their committees to report how much they raise and the amount of their expenditures if the figure is $500 or more. Candidates submit those reports in the city secretary’s office.
The account of the more than $800 in printing expenses from Kyle Klips or the $6.50 an hour reportedly paid to workers to hand deliver publications to voters’ doors never made found their way on any candidates’ financial reports.
The state ethics commission has jurisdiction over candidates and Political Action Committee’s actions.
“The City of Kyle City Council has spend $21,000 investigating Kyle Klips. It was … a newsletter that is nothing more than one exercising First Amendment rights,” Weatherford said. “This is not in the best interest of the taxpayers of Hays County.”
The exact amount the city spent on investigating Kyle Klips was not available at press time.

BLOGER'S BEWARE: The City of Kyle is Watching!
OK, its been a few days since I lasted posted. I hope you have had a chance to read the article below. Here are a few links for some additional background view here and here
For the record, Wesly Mau assistant D.A. Republican was just defeated by Democrat Tibbe.
It seems to me that the City of Kyle and the Hays County D.A's office have gone more than just a little bit overboard. My main concern is over the investigation of a blog. Free speech is the right of everyone in this country. While I have not had an opportunity to see an print copy of the news letter, I have seen the blog. I don't think that a blog constitutes a campaign expenditure, for if it did, then anyone who endorses a candidate over the Internet should look over their shoulders. Yes indeed, Bloggers Beware!
As for the $800.00, reported in the article, this could constitute a problem. Anyone spending money in an election should remember a few important words, "vote for" and "vote against". If you can avoid these magic words then it is an issue ad and not subject to the same rules.
It seems odd to me that the city would expend nearly twenty five times the amount in question, $800.00, to investigate this issue. I don't know what the over all cost is, but in the grand scheme of things, it just doesn't look good for Kyle and Hays County. This is especially so when you take into consideration that the City of Kyle (it would appear) was taken to the tune of forty thousand dollars by the organizers of Thunderpalooza and is currently being sued by the NAACP.

Tuition Deregulation: How To Shrink The Middle Class
It seems that once again the Texas State University-San Marcos Texas, Texas State Board of Regents are seriously considering a ten percent tuition increase (view article here).
In 1986 tuition and fees for twelve credit hours was $486.00 for the fall of 2006 combined tuition and fees are now $2,349.00. According to the student handbook for Texas State Normal School 1903 states that tuition, fees, and books ran $38.00. Now I am not saying that Tuition Deregulation impacted the 1986 and 1903 tuition rates but I only add those figures for comparison. Tuition Deregulation was passed by the Legislature in 2003. H.B. 3015 allowed for the various boards of regents for each university system to determine their own tuition rather than each system having to go to the Legislature for increases in funding.
The only problem with the deregulation of tuition was that university systems were now under less scrutiny. They could increase tuition as they sought the need required. Now instead of the Legislature having pressure being put upon them; to provide adequate funding for our higher educational system, the legislators shifted the liability away from themselves to each university system.
Why did I start with all of the numbers? Consider this, the last time I paid for twelve credit hours at TSU was right before deregulation took effect, and also before the university changed is name. At that time, I paid just over one thousand dollars, and now its more than twice the amount in only three years.
It's time for the Legislature to resume its responsibility and adequately fund education across the board. If education is the gateway to higher income potential then it is important that it be made accessible and affordable.

District Attorney Sherri Tibbe.......?
I just got off of the phone, at 2 p.m., with the Hays County Elections office and they said that final recount results will be completed by the close of business today. Democrat Sherri Tibbe won the general election, for Hays County District Attorney, by twenty-three votes. Republican Mau petitioned for the recount. The recount has been going on since 8 a.m. I will update when I get the results.Update: I called the Elections office, at 4 p.m., and I have confirmed that Sherri Tibbe is the new Hays County District Attorney. The results were unchanged.

Lizzy And Her Friends
What will the newly elected Hays County Judge Sumter and the other newly elected Democratic County Commissioners, Barton Precinct 2 and Ford Precinct 4, do over the next four years? It appears that water and growth will be significant issues for the new trio. During their respective campaigns, all three stressed growth and water as major issue's for Hays County. It looks like both of these issues will remain important as the new Commissioner's Court takes control in January 07'.
Of course, these issue's have to be looked at through the prism of the next election cycle. In other words, the new Court will have to balance taxes, property rights, and a Republican controlled Legislature. They will have to develop a growth and water plan that will not raise the local property tax rate and, respects the rights of local property owners. If both of these groups can be recruited to a palatable plan then getting the approval of the Texas legislature should be an easier task.
To that end, I hope that the new Court would convene a citizens task force, which would study and make reccomendation's on both water and development issue's. It should be made up of a cross section of residents from throughout the County. It shouldn't be made up of elected politicians talking at one another. If some are hoping for an easy fix, all I can say is, that isn't going to happen. We are in a real mess here in Hays County and we didn't get here overnight, and we won't get out that way. If the process is truly fair and deliberative we should be able to find agreeable solutions.

The Speaker's Man?
It appears that newly re-elected state representative Patrick Rose (pictured above) has made Speaker Craddicks' list of supporter's. When I first heard of this I had a visceral gut reaction..."That stupid sonof*****!!!!!!" But after a short time calming myself, I pulled out my old politician's hat (yes, I used to be one) and started to think "strategery".
It makes perfect sense in a House of Reps where Republicans far out number Democrats that Rose would give, what I can only hope is, his initial support. I think that the Democratic representatives should however look amongst the ranks of the Republicans in the House for a viable alternative for Craddick. I would be remiss if i did not note that Craddick oversaw the loss of 5 seats in the recent elections. If at anytime since becoming Speaker, Craddick, is most vulnerable now. He is also reputed to use what can lovingly be called mafioso tactics amongst state representatives. Even withing his own rank and file he is not above forcing Republicans to vote againgst the interests of their constituentes.
Perhaps if enough Republicans and Dems can get together and elect another Speaker then we can have a some real bi-partisanship in the Texas House.

Hays County Democrats: You aint seen nothing yet!
I have looked and looked at the numbers and I am not totally sure how the Dems in Hays County pulled it off. The Democratic candidates for County Judge and two commissioner won their races. It looks like the District Attorney's race has gone to the Dems by very small margin (50.04% to 49.96%). In what I can only describe as a kick in the guts, two races by Democratic challengers Martinez-Boiling ( 49.26% to 50.74%) and Villalpando(49.58% to 50.42%) were lost by squeaker margins.
A major argument for the change in the commissioners court deals with national politics. Anger against the national Republican Party dealt local Republicans a near death blow but, I don't buy that as the only reason. While it is true that many people in Hays county are angry with the national Republicans in general and President Bush in particular, I fail to see how some Democrats won while others lost. If it was all about throwing the bums out then all of the Dems should have won.
I think that three reasons exist for the change on the commissioners court. First, changing demographics: from the time the court went Republican back in 1998 more people from Travis county and south Texas have moved into our county. Both of these groups trend toward Democrats. Secondly, I think that infighting between the libertarian (no taxes) and conservative (no gays) factions of the local Republican Party fractured their cohesiveness. Finally, I think that good old fashion boots on the ground type work displayed by the Hays County Dems won the day for the newly elected commissioners.
For sure, there are other plausible reasons that the Dems did so well, even among the losers. For instance, Hays County regaining its long lost Congressman Lloyd Doggett who won with 56% of the vote, or State Rep. Patrick Rose wining with 60% of the vote. In short, they had some coat tails. One thing is for sure, as crazy as this elections season has been, 08' I predict will fall into the category of you ain't seen nothing yet.

Ok, What's Next...?
It looks like we have taken the House of Representatives with a healthy margin, and that we may even pick up the Senate. If true, the question is, what's next? Besides fully engaging in debate on the War in Iraq here are ten things that Dems need to do :
1. Get rid of welfare for billionaires and repeal the Republicans, Paris Hilton Tax Cut
2. Pass all of the 911 Commissions recommendation's and pay for them with item number 1
3. Pass all funding needed to ensure that our troops are fully equipt (see item number 1).
4. Review and strengthen real ethics reforms in both houses of Congress
5. Pass a living wage increase
6. Begin real dialogue on immigration reform and take no options off the table before the process begins.
7. Fully fund education in this country. Yes, do what not even President Bush would do about his own bill and fully fund No Child Left Behind.
8. Begin investigations on the efficacy of new electronic voting machines. Can we Dems get together and protect our democracy from another Florida 2000 or Ohio 2004.
9. Can you say Oversight? It is time for Congress to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities and investigate, review, or whatever word you choose and find out where all the money sent to Iraq has gone!
10. Congress should convene a bipatisan committee to investigate the Oil, Natural Gas, Electric Power industries and try to determine once and for all if the huge profits made were a natural phenomenon or Enron part deux.
We have one year folks to get this done and only one very short year. If Dems control both houses then we should do something that the Republicans are unable to do and that is Work. Beginning in January and not ending until November, both houses should be called to order every workday. You folks in Congress wanted the job, Now Get To WORK!
But, the job is not only your elected officials responsibility. The responsibility is yours also. Write a letter or email to the editor of your local paper. Write your elected officials and say "Congratulations on winning... Now Get To Work." Here's an idea, there is plenty of room on the net, Blog.
Get off your asses Americans. It's time we all got to work. Ok, what's next?

Rummy Set To RESIGN
CNN is reporting that Donald Rumsfield, President Bush's Secretary of Defense, is set to resign after Dems take the house by a larger number than Repubs. did in 1994. Tester of Montana has declared victory, CNN has called the Election for Tester. Senate now stands at Dems 50 Repubs. 50. That leaves Virginia outstanding, though there is every indication that Webb will win without a recount.
There are a lot of things going on now. I will blog about how local elections have turned out. Suffice it to say that Dems in Hays County have done very well.
