I am pretty excited about something that seems to be coming to Rowlett. We seem to be getting legitimately closer to having a City Council work session about establishing a Housing Finance Corporation. It still has a way to go, but an official Council work session is scheduled for June 6, to begin the question asking. As of this time, all the anticipated experts that I have spent months talking to and emailing should be coming to town to meet with Council. I am excited. However, it has not come without some bloodshed.
My efforts have been resisted by a member of Staff that appears to be in a full blown ambitious effort of Empire Building. It would appear he was attempting to exclude all experts I have worked hard assembling, and replace them with his own cronies. As you might expect, I have been fighting back. At this time, I guess my team is winning. However, the story seems to change by the hour.
I am excited because this is the first real step in providing affordable and really good housing for deserving people. And......I helped put it together. I am pleased with that.
On the other hand, there has been some resistance. It will probably continue, or I anticipate that it will, as we progress. Of course, I will fight the resistance. I will not engage in the specifics here, but I will make you a deal. If the staff opposition succeeds in muting my efforts, I will document every detail, including names, dates, places, and mundane examples of bureaucratic gobblygook to mangle information. You can then decide who needs their butts kicked.
The people you elected to office has got to gain control of city policies. They are not to be decided by staff.
