Saturday will be a gorgeous day to go out and exercise your greatest right and civic duty. Please set aside about 20 minutes of your time to make it over to the Police and Courts Building, on the corner of Cross Timbers and Kirkpatrick between the hours of 7am and 7pm. To vote for the candidate of your choice. As a group and as a moderator of this blog we have our choices. And so do you. In this election, your vote counts and could decide the outcome, so I cannot stress to you the importance of going to make that choice.
For those of you that don't know the process in our town, I will give you a brief explanation.
There are 3 seats up for election. Place 1, Place 3 and Place 5. You will vote for one candidate in each place, so you are voting for all 3 Places. Also on the ballot are 2 seats on the LISD school board.
So come on out on Saturday, May 9th and make a difference. See you there.

For those wanting to know who to vote for to help prevent Morriss Road from expanding to 6 lanes, below are the candidates who have openely expressed their opposition:
ReplyDeletePlace 1 - Steve Lyda
Place 3 - Bob Butler
Place 5 - Tom Hayden
Again, everyone please be sure to vote this Saturday!
Check out the Dallas Morning News!!! You just never know what can happen when a few neighbors get together for a common cause! Our goal is and has always been to preserve our neighborhood by way of safety, beauty, and peaceful living, basically for great QUALITY OF LIFE! If you will notice in the DMN article, M. Ryan also stated that the Town of Flower Mound's goal in widening Morriss Rd. is - quality of life for REGIONAL COMMUTES!!! We all hate traffic, but there are no solid studies proving there is even a need for the beautiful median to be turned into concrete. Let's stop the massive development taking place and leave some space for us tree huggers, (it is why we moved here)!!

ReplyDeleteYou are missing an "s" at the end of Morriss on your twitter URL.
Everyone go vote- Dixon, Cox or Hayden, and Forrest! Big Day!
ReplyDeleteThis is sad that only one of our preferred canidates won.
ReplyDeleteWe need to hammer it home on the winners that they need to be listening to what the residents of the morriss road area want.
I am sure they will listen to the Stop Morriss 6 group and then they will do what the rest of Flower Mound wants, they will vote yes to the road expansion. In my opinion, this council will not be driven by a "mob rule" mentality. If the residents really wanted the road not to be expanded, Mike Wallace would not have won.
ReplyDeleteThe same could be said of another candidate- if the residents wanted to expand Morriss road they would have voted for Angie but they didn't.
ReplyDeleteI realize people keep saying Angie was for expansion, but what I remember her saying is she thought the Town should do more studies and wait until they were done.
ReplyDeleteI think the point is that Hayden was obviously an anti-expansion candidate the way that Wallace was an obvious expansion candidate.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but it is true that if people really wanted Morriss not to be expanded Bob Butler would have won.
ReplyDeleteThe election is over. Im so glad you are all back hiding behind your cloak. We are not a mob not matter how hard you try to brand us as such. We plan on working with ALL the new council members to make sure what ever decision is made is the one that suits everyone. We know who you are. IP addresses are a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a candidate anymore, so I hope you're not tracking my IP address. I wish to stay anonymous from now on please :)
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, I would have voted to stop the Morriss Rd. expansion if I were elected. But since I couldn't drum up the support I needed to win in the two months that I campaigned, I'll just have to put my time and effort into it as a private citizen. Stay tuned.....
You won’t be disappointed ;0)

Kim: Why is it such a big deal that people want to remain anonymous? Talk about hiding under a cloak, you give the ability to post while maintaining privacy and then you tell everyone you have their IP addresses. How do you know that I am not a person who lives down the street that tells you I agree with you to keep the peace on the street, but really I don't and I want to express that without the fear of retribution. You have said all views are welcome here, so what's wrong with a little post election analysis? It was an interesting race and it has only been 72 hours since it was over, let people talk about what they want.
ReplyDeleteThats fine, but its not fair to classify us as a "mob", I have no problem with anyone stating opinions. If you are a neighbor, I would want you to be honest and tell me what you really think. If you are a neighbor, tell me how you think anyone should improve our community. Retribution? Im sorry, but you really don't know me.
ReplyDeleteperhaps the poster wasn't refering to you seeking retribution, but someone else that reads this. not everyone that reads this blog posts so you never know who is out there. for me, I would be scared my boss was reading it and it might cost me my job or one of my neighbors and it would make for an awkward situation.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying that you are scared to exercise your first amendment right for fear of retribution? If that’s true, we have truly gone to a place that our Founders wouldn’t recognize.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows who I am, and I refuse to not speak freely, to do otherwise would be un-American.
If your boss fired you for something you opined on a blog (providing you weren’t doing something illegal), you might not want to work for that company in the first place and you might have a good law suit as well. America, you got to love it!
