The Southeast Texas Political Review
From Beaumont:
Dude, KIein, nice article on Cory. I need to ask this? Why is it anyone’s business on the outside if Cory goes anywhere or does anything? Let alone posting it on your nasty website! Not gonna sign my name.
Answer: We already know who you are, Jeff Spicoli! Riding the waves of life and tasting some cool buds. Look, we think that Cory Crenshaw has what it takes to at least bring the city up to dry land. The issue is aesthetics. If a man is sitting on the crapper in the morning, getting ready to go to work, and there is Cory’s social media showing himself on a private jet flying wherever…ech….it doesn’t look good. Guys like that don’t get mad until they cannot flush the shitter and the stuff gets on the floor while momma is screaming at him? Do you get it yet?
From Beaumont:
I’ve been a reader for many years. We’ve met a couple of times, when I was a Councilman in the big city of Nederland. That was way back during Rita at the Fire Station and at a couple of meetings. I’ll give you an 80% for accuracy, and the other 20% is tainted, but that’s not the purpose of this email.
I understand the reality and tongue-in-cheek about a poorly spelled site. Even the people in South Newton County can see the $225K is not 18.5% of $4.1 million.
That’s definitely a package that is over what it should be, but you know any deals have someone paying a $# and the other party accepting it. Seems like only a few years ago when I was in the Sabine Chiefs Association, and DG was the Chief, and the department was fully volunteer.
That being said, Lumberton has grown greatly and should have a fully staffed department of Career Firefighters, helped by fully trained volunteers.
Answer: Well, we thought it was a good article that even the folks in South Newton County could understand. I researched pay for fire chiefs. Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland, Groves, and Port Neches chiefs don’t even come close to the 10,500 pay grade of the city of Lumberton. Now over to Orange, and the same thing. Not even close, and in fact, the highest is 160,000. Now, as for Newton County….oh, never mind. You get the idea. And most are combination departments. Must you have gotten your numbers from South Newton County? Oh, and thank you for the nice shot. I appreciate it.
From Port Arthur:
Interested in retrieving a Top Story of several weeks ago, about Christina Crawford. How would I do this?
Answer: We call that the back issue request. Please send a written request, and if you are asking for a copyright waiver. setpoliticalreview@gt.twc.bc.com
From Beaumont:
Downtown and the homeless is still problems for the city. I work for the city, and my area is downtown. We look like Detroit. The smell? Are they shitting on the sidewalks and pissing on the street? Why can’t we do anything?????
Answer: Because it is not a priority. That is gross.
Beaumont:
Let me say this to you, Mr. Klein! You are right on it! I met the new Superintendent at BISD. I am black, so there is no misunderstanding. She is going to make a difference, and I like the way she says that if you don’t like it, leave.
Answer: Oh ya. Did you see HISD’s not hugs program for discipline? All of a sudden, the scores are through the roof? Let’s see what happens here.
From Port Arthur:
Here’s a number 14 to possibly add to your windmill scam project list of boo-boos: There are numerous prehistoric archeological sites all around the Sabine Lake area. I’m not sure if any are on Pleasure Island, but sometimes an undocumented midden is found by a construction project.
Answer: Interesting!
From Nederland:
How does Queen Kay keep her job? There are many of us out here in Nederland who just want her to go away. She is the problem!
Answer: Ask the board. She has something on someone, is our guess!
From Beaumont:
Downtown is a Joke. Murals everywhere. It makes you think there is a gypsey convention going on. Oh, a warning, I walked out onto the cement walkway next to the river. There it lay! A huge water mocoson in the sun. It was just the snake and me.
Answer: Once again! MONEY WELL SPENT!
From Groves:
I am sitting at McDonald’s, and here come a bunch of wild kids. They start tearing the place up. The manager came out and asked “please” for them to stop. So, do you know what they did to the nice lady manager? Cursed her out and threw stuff on the floor. I think we have lost control of our youth!
Answer: I just cannot. No really. I just cannot. It is everywhere.
