Events Needing Public Participation

  Tomorrow,Monday,"concerned citizens" will protest the LP&L rate hike that has a Facebook page called I Hate LP&L and a new website www.ihatelpandl.com

  Holding protest signs might get some publicity but a possible arrest is even more bad. City of Lubbock arrested this editor for trying to attend a city council meeting last November so being arrested isn't far fetched in Lubbock. The intelligent alternative is to use "citizen comments" and complain about the LP&L rate hike to the elected "bozos" who voted to enact the damn thing.
  Tuesday democrats,led by Kenny Ketner,will "protest" the picture ID law that requires voters like yours truly,Clif Burnett,to show my DL with my voter card to cast my vote. I don't like the extra trouble of showing my "ugly mug" on my DL to get to vote so I may attend the democrat meeting. I could be the only non-democrat at that meeting.

Notice To Readers

  This editor tries to avoid the pitfalls here at WT Free Press that closed Lubbock County Register. Today some public record was "drag&pasted" onto another website and the public employees first names were deleted. The website credited me as the source of the public record. Anytime public record is altered it becomes "flawed". I do not edit public record other than leaving the odd cents off of a yearly salary. The website in question was notified that the altered public record was not from the data I received and my name was deleted from that entry. I prefer readers link to any entry here at WT Free Press and discourage the "drag&paste" of data here. This editor will work with any website and I also do retractions,clarifications or deletions if need be.

LP&L Pre-Protest Workshop

  This editor attended the IHateLP&L protest workshop at Maxey Park. It was attended by around 25 citizens. Several republicans and one democrat were there observing the meeting. It did not appear to have near the physical support necessary to be effective in getting an Lp&L rate rollback. I will not attend the protest tomorrow due to my "bad relationship" with City of Lubbock. One "cameragirl" from Nexstar did do a short interview with one organizer.
