“In any new ordinance, during that 10-

interpretation issues and enforcement,”

When officials for the Goose Creek school dis-
trict determined in September that San Jacinto
Elementary School’s playground equipment need-
ed replacing, the school’s administration and par-
ent-teacher organization already had a plan.
This week, the four two-decade old wooden
playground pieces were removed from the small
area they were wedged into on the school grounds
on Virginia Street in West Baytown.
Next Saturday, Nov. 11, the school and its PTO
will host a fall carnival to raise funds for new
runnin’ rebels

In an increasingly rare sign of
bipartisanship, U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, a
Republican, and U.S. Rep. Gene
Green, a Republican, wielded shov-
els Friday at a groundbreaking cere-
mony for the new Crosby Highway.
After Tuesday, the two men’s posi-
tions may be reversed, with many
expecting that Democrats will take
the majority in the U.S. House for
the first time since 1994.
Poe and Green, who have said they
work well together despite their party
affiliations, both helped secured
funding for the project, which will
connect U.S. Highway 90 with the
Interstate 10/Loop 610 interchange.
The project should be completed in
2010.
After the photo opportunity (and
after Poe took a spin in a large piece
of construction equipment), both
men talked to the Baytown Sun
about the prospects for a change in
the House leadership.
Green was first elected to the 29th
District (which includes the western
portion of Baytown within Harris
County) in 1993. The next year, the
Republican Party took control of the
House for the first time in four
decades.
“I was just a freshman,” Green noted,
so he hadn’t had much experience
