Questions

Polls open in just over 60 hours for arguably one of the most important elections in the history of our Town, yet I still have questions:

--Why did Mayor Smith use a false allegation as the centerpiece of her campaign? No one really believes that her opponent advocated turning 2499 into a toll road. Was "Progress/Integrity/Experience" just not working?

--Why has Mayor Smith repeatedly stated that she has apologized for the "Hineygate" episode, when she has not?

--Why has Williams decided to "educate" the citizens of Flower Mound within weeks of this critical Town election?

--Why does Williams continue to assert that they will not attempt to influence the outcome of Saturday's elections, yet their "citizen outreach" is focused on registered voters?

--Why should the 95% of residences in Flower Mound that have not signed a gas lease be concerned that Mayor Smith and her two running mates--Gerald Robinson and Bryan Webb (SRW)--have signed leases considering the focal point of this election is gas drilling? (And that Melissa Northern, Al Filidoro, and Steve Lyda (NFL) have not signed gas leases.)

--Why does Mayor Smith's latest finance report fail to disclose the source of $23,272.77 that was spent on behalf of her campaign?

--Why is Mayor Smith personally funding the majority of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Webb's campaigns?

--Why did Mr. Robinson fail to disclose over $10K in campaign expenditures in his April 30th finance report? (Mr. Robinson is a Certified Financial Planner.)

--Why did Mr. Webb similarly fail to disclose almost $11K in campaign expenditures in his April 30th finance report?

--Why haven't ethics violations been filed by the Town's self-declared protector of everything ethical? (A call to an attorney at the Texas Ethics Commission yesterday verified that in fact all three of the SRW candidates have likely committed ethics violations.)

--Why should we trust a slate of candidates that cannot (or will not) properly complete a simple campaign finance report?

--What real accomplishments does Mr. Robinson have that would warrant him calling himself the environmental candidate?

--Why has Mr. Webb jumped from one Town board to another?

--Why did Mayor Smith, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Webb dismiss the results of the petition effort (over 6,000 signatures) by saying that the matter should be decided upon by the voters in November? Haven't 6,000 registered voters already spoken? Apparently golf isn't the only sport that allows for mulligans.

I could go on, but I've got to get ready for my next dose of education from Williams. Their "Town Hall" starts soon. I sure hope they let me ask a question.

Why did Mayor Smith use a copyrighted photo of Melissa Northern for one of her mud slinging TV ads without getting permission?

Why does using green for everything related to Robison continue to make me laugh?

Why does Williams think it's ok to harass us with multiple phone calls and pollute our mailboxes with idiotic propaganda?

Why hasn't Smith, Robinson or Webb denounced the despicable remarks of Patsy Mizeur and Jan Balakian when they mocked the parents of children who have leukemia?

What does their silence on the matter say about their character?

Why are Smith/Robinson/Webb completely ignoring the Code of Fair Campaign Practices?

Why isn't Mr. Ethics himself screaming from the rooftops about it?

Why did Mayor Smith's campaign finance report not add up?

Why did the Mayor allow her best friend to do personally attack people during statements at the Town Council meeting but cut off anyone trying to tell the truth about her?

Dear Pinch, I've seen your mayor plenty of times and I've never seen her wear anything but super tight and stilettos. Tight clothes and stiletto heels fit with her fanny pinching, Sarah Palinisque flirty, winky/blinky, drill baby drill style.

Williams has to invest heavily in the side that allows them to continue being irresponsible.

what might the outcome of the election be if it were known that the margin of error on the cancer cluster study was tampered?

Who's paying for all the primetime, major network commercials for Mayor Smith??? Someone is spending a lot of money on a small town mayoral election. You have to ask yourself WHY?????? $$$$$$$$$

Why can Williams get fined one day for a toxic water spill, and then receive variances on other pad sites the next?

Why have we not learned from the New London school accident in 1937, when 295 students and teachers were killed by un-oderized natural gas, just like the gathering lines that will be used near the Hilliard site?

Why did Williams contract for legal services with a former Council member? Was this the plan all along?

Why does Williams recycle their water in other states, but not feel that Flower Mound water deserves the same treatment?

Is Jean Levenick soon to be Williams' new "Community Outreach" person?

If Williams "outreach" is not interfering in the local election, why are they only sending their "information" to registered voters?
