Slide Road Library To Close Next Year

  Quincy White informed the city council today that the upcoming budget will be the last one for the Slide Road library in the old Barnes&Noble building. The building belongs to M&M Enterprises in Virginia(parent company of Circuit City). City has toyed with several relocation ideas and will have to make some idea work before September 1,2014.

Price Recall Petition Submitted To City Secretary

  Gordon Harris officially delivered his recall petition to City of Lubbock city secretary's office according to Lubbockonline(AJ) website. It is thought to have 660 signatures with the needed valid number of 500+. If the needed number are certified Price would face recall in November along with Victor Hernandez. Both councilmen voted for LP&L rate increases recently. Lubbock has never had a recall election and more council members should face recall in the future,hopefully.

Infrastructure or Luxuries?

  Glen Robertson may have a real problem selling his ideas as infrastructure. Mr.Robertson wants to remodel the Police Academy. At the same time he balks as paying for demolition of eyesores like the abandoned buildings such as Omni Building and brick housing project on Baylor. Mr.Robertson has little or no experience as a public servant and is severely lacking in formal education. Mr.Robertson's idea of public record is spouting "bilge" on Facebook or local AM radio stations. City just finished extending Slide Road to Clovis Road from Loop 289 thus putting an unneeded paved road through a farmer's field,not really infrastructure. Mr.Robertson faces re-election next year on a platform of very little in the accomplishment column. Lubbock will have two elections early next year,March&May. It may be an ideal time to "remove" every incumbent from office and "clean house".
