ROWLETT RAMBLINGS

I have been given my comeuppance

I have been soundly chastised by friend and foe alike.  I don't care what my foes think.  However, a friend's observation makes me go back and reconsider some things.  I probably owe Mr. Moseley an apology.  Not for misrepresenting the facts.  I didn't manufacture the facts.  The P&Z did.  However, I didn't give Mr. Moseley some credit he is due.  I should have mentioned that Mr. Moseley honestly told the audience and the viewers on camera that Rowlett was changing.  The open fields and pastures that are generally appealing to the eye will disappear.  The fields will be built upon.  The D/FW area is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the USA.  Job formation is creating a population and economic firestorm.  Mr. Moseley stated that the open areas in the metro area will fill up, whether you like it, or not.  Mr. Moseley accurately reported this.  He demonstrated some courage in the face of loud opposition voices, and deserves credit.    I apologize for this oversight.  

On the other hand, such "combativeness" flushes out comments like below.  I'm not sure where to start on commenting about the below literary excellence.  I'll let you be the judge.  I will just assume that Mr. Malloy disagrees with me.  There are a  couple of things, tho.    Mr. Malloy seems to  think I just sit at the computer and criticize others.   He seem to suggest that I get off my butt and do something free for the city.  Let me see......there was the time I was on the Park Board.  Then some time was spent on Environmental Learning Center,  DART Station Art Design Committee, Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, Economic Development Advisory Committee, and a term as a Rowlett City Councilman.  I also helped put together the Rowlett Regatta last year, and I almost single-handedly brought the Rowlett Housing Finance Corporation to it's current formation.  The Board of Directors have just been selected.  I must confess, I was paid $100/ month while on City Council.  The rest was free.  I will be happy to publish Mr. Malloy's  city service resume here on this blog. 

Once again, I did not write that "the fix is in."  I asked my readers if they thought the "fix was in."  As far as "slamming volunteers," that's casting a large net.  I have a lot of friends that are volunteers.  ___________________.

Wow! That wasn't an opinion, that was a redundant thesis! Make a point and move along for God's sake! The term "less is more" is applicable here. All I remember is 7 members, 2 alternates, only 3 had something to say (over and over). There is a protocol to establish a quarom that was met. These are volunteers. Fire him? No, how about you step up and serve in a thankless, payless, volunteer position and become a vote? Doesn't sound like one more yes would have made a difference anyway. Majority opinion wins, minority opinion loses. This is not a new process. Slamming volunteers is unacceptable, and unwarranted accusations of fix when simply speculating should be criminal. I it might be!
