I hat is one of the biggest
problems with Baytown.
The public should know
,ind get a chance They
need the right person to
explain to them that some
things make sense and
some things don t Just get
someone that knows how
to talk to people
Thomas Parent
Diversifying our econ-
omy is key to continued
growth in Bay town while
meeting the objectives our
citizens asked for in the
live.
We need to work with
real estate developers to
create better housing op-
tions without inefficient
Ml'Ds that waste hard-
earned taxpayer dollars.
Growth should come as a
benefit to those w ho choose
to call Bay town home, not
at their expense
I ■
The northern part of town
seems to be the hot spot tor
growth. We need to shift
some momentum and at-
tention to other areas. Dist
b specifically. Alexander
drive used to have restau-
rants and businesses that
rivaled (iarth Road lt‘s
all a distant memory right
now, but if we encourage
development in the area we
can create dramatic change
with the goal of making the
.urea better that it once was
Many people in this district
have great deas an how to
proceed and it is my intent
to not only listen, but to
plan the future with them
Robert Hoskins
After getting additional
information on the taxing
results for the persons in
this area. I cannot support
an annexation at this time
I would rather push this off imagine Bay town tia
to next year when they are
also allowed a vote on the
matter. Ac are pushing or
speeding this annexation
only due to the new law
that is about to go into af-
fect. Therefore. I would
rather only annex the un-
atlected open areas and not
the homesteads
retired from the Goose Building Fund, 6227 N.

the property owners .tfect-
ed I believe that in cases
where the city has a certifi-
able need to annex an area,
it needs to work with those
affected to grant grandfa-
thered status and enact spe-
cial zoning ordinances to
allow residents to continue
living the way they have
chosen
becoming more and more
of a hindrance to the area.
We need to work with the
Texas DOI and have the
industrial traffic (I S-wheel-
crsi moved to Highway
and oft 14t> In addition, we
need another ( edar Bayou
crossing and major traffic
artery in this northeast area.
Dist. I has an opportunity
tor residential growth and
commercial-retail growth.
We will have to find bal-
ance as to where to tit those
needs into the area. Hope-
ful ly, we will see added res-
idential growth, which will
spawn the retail market in
the area.
Christina Pape
Baytown as a whole o
growing, but each district
has different challenges
and opportunities ahead of [
them. While the north side
is balancing rapid growth
in new subdivisions and re-
tail outlets and the accom-
panying traffic issues that
go with it. the south side is
dealing with an abundance
of vacant lots and buildings
and aging infrastructure.
Dist. 6 is fortunate to see
the expansion of Highway
99, and looks forward to
both a new sjbdivision as
well as a larger industrial

Annexation is tough It
is a major change in the
lives of the residents being
annexed but it is an im-
portant process to manage
the growth of our city We
need to be supportive of
residents throughout the
process and make sure our
zoning laws are appropriate
for their property uses.

I think involuntary an-
nexations in their current
state are a bad deal for the
property owner If the city
wants to annex unwilling
property owners they need
to sweeten the deal and do
more to lessen the burden
of annexation. This is the
challenge our city will face
from now on. Starting lk\
1. involuntary annexations
are no longer allowed by
Texas law. Cities will be re-
quired to seek a public vote
for annexations.

Dist. 5 has had much
growth that is affecting
Highway I4n This has
been a big issue to those
living alone the I4n cor-
ridor I will continue to
fight to make this highway
corridor safer to the Citi-

in this area. Also with this ■ • •
growth, the traffic ipue h Texans owner apologizes again
HOUSTON i APi Houston Tex ner Bob Mc-
Nair has released a second apology and is attempting to
explain his comments, a day after a repsMi revealed that
he said “we can’t have the inmates running the prison”
during a meeting of NFL owners about players who pro-
test by Mice..: u..: j< the national anthem.
McNair, who first apologized in a statement on Friday,
released a second statement regarding his comments on
Saturday He say > he wasn’t refcrTrng to the players m what
he calls a “very regretful comment " Instead he say s he was
“referring to the relatuxislup between the league office and
team owners and how they have been making significant
strategic decisions afteciing our league without adequate
nput from ownership over the past few years
He then apologized to Nf I players saying. *1 am truly
sorry to the play ers for how this has impacted them and
the perception that it has created of me which could not
be further from the truth. Our focus going forward, per-
sonally and as an organization, will be towards making
meaningful progress regarding the social issues that mean
so much to our players and our community.”

Involuntary annexations
are often resisted, and each
one has to be investigated
independently. My job on
Council will be to evalu-
ate each situation and to do
what is right for the prop-
er and planned inevitable
growth of the city.
Roy Torres
I spoke to people that Rnv Torres
were against it and I feel
pered with compassion for that they didn't understand
how things would play out
or the benefits of it. Peo-
ple don’t like change, but
a proper explanation on an
individualized level may
have made a difference

City Council queries: Candidates
weigh in on annexations, growth
Heather
Betancourth
Dist 4 is m the heart of
Bay town, encompassing
most of (iarth. R»ktd and
North Main Street In con-
versations l*ve had with
Dist. 4 residents, traffic
flow on major roads is
their number one concern
I know the city is working
on improving our commu-
nity’s mobility already, but
we can’t stop 'ackhng this
issue Baytown will contin-
ue to grow, as will our traf-
fic problems
Some initiatives I would
like to explore are adding
more side w;11 k s. c ross-
w ilks. and bike lanes so
residents have alternative
means of travel Also, we
have to put more priori-
ty on working with Hams
(. ounty and the Texas Ik-
partmei t of 1 ransportation
on improving roads not
owned by the city For ex-
ample. Sjolander. Barku-
loo, and Crosby ( edar
Bayou have the potential to
become other major arter-
ies through Bay town while
the bottleneck at 1-10 and
Spur 330 has become a dai-
ly problem
