The Southeast Texas Political Review

From Nederland:

I cannot sell my house! I have to get out of Nederland. School taxes are killing our income! Your advice?

Answer: There is nothing you can do. We said it when the bond passed we predicted it would happen – and it is! Suck it up! And some of the Karens that voted for and advocated for the bond moved a year ago when the price of the market started dying. Giggle. 

From Beaumont:

Not sure anyone has been keeping track, but the “inhuman, vile predators” have been getting slammed and convicted in Jefferson County, over the last several months.  Kudos to the DA and his staff,  I think we all know who has been making tremendous strides to taking the murderers and sick bastards off the streets.  If they can only get to the drug dealers,  we may have a chance. 

Answer: We tend to agree!

From Port Arthur:

Thought you would enjoy Klein on driving in Southeast Texas:

5. Port Arthur

Crash score: 50.09

The officially designated Cajun Capital of Texas had the most crashes related to bad driving on a population basis in 2022, with 12.52 per 100,000 people. That rate is about two-and-a-half times the national and state average — and it means drivers in the Gulf Coast city need to be especially wary of others who are aggressive, careless, and not following the rules of the road.

Answer: Welcome to the hood!

From Beaumont:

If I am not mistaken bulldog stadium does not allow access either. Daughter plays club soccer and tries to get her ready for middle then high school soccer but every time we go there it is locked. Bummer 

Answer: Ech, they are open. We were there to walk the other night.

From Beaumont:

The City Manager needs to be replaced.  How sad he doesn’t feel like promoting within with the new Police Chief.  That is because he was promoted over an insider.  All he cares about is the color of the skin.  Doesn’t he realize we all bleed red and God made us all?  Shame on you Mr. Williams.  Be gone, not because you are black but because you are racist and arrogant.

Answer: It is always about race in Jefferson County. It is sad.

From Beaumont:

First, the racist City Manager needs to go! There is no reason not to hire a Chief of Police from within the Department. If one of the Tylers (they are related father/son or uncle/nephew) they are outstanding officer and will serve Beaumont well perhaps Jason Plunkett can remain in his current position.

Answer: New changes are in play. Let’s see how it goes!

From Beaumont:

A “different take” on your latest Top Story…

You say you chose not to get involved but before the meeting declared Getz the front runner. You also claim Willis’ win was the result of what one side ” accused” the other side of won the day.  Any investigation into the validity,  or lack thereof, of the claims?  Could it be the Executive Committee felt Willis had the cajones to step up last March when no one else would?  Just a thought. . . .

Answer: Well, no. Here is the deal. TRANSPARCY – is the word I believe never ever should come out of any Executive Committee’s voice ever again. They were all elected officials and should have been voted out in the open. They let a personal fight choose how they voted, and when they voted they hid. It was and is a sad day for the Republican Party. I also noticed that you left out that Willis had NEVER voted in a GOP primary or election. That is even more interesting.

As I have told two interviews today, “In the end, it does not matter who won last night. It matters that the republican party and its leadership acted like Democrats and did not allow the light to shine on their votes. AND GOD HELP YOU IF YOU START THE RETRIBUTION BULLSHIT.

I just cannot….

From Port Arthur:

Is it just my computer or have you not posted anything in reader mail in a long time?

Answer: You would be right. Our systems went down again after an attack. We have who did it and watch us for the announcement. 

From Jefferson County:

Hey Mr. K! Here is a video I thought you might enjoy! Scary – everything you told us was coming!

Answer: Yup!

From Beaumont:

Hey Klein, did you see what was ranking in the United States in Education:

143

Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX

144

83

Answer: Beaumont has always been ranked among the worst schools in the US. No surprise right?

From Port Arthur:

I am a black lady from Port Arthur. Please accept our apologies from our community for the actions of our elected officials on the council. We have problems. But we will solve those problems next election! BESURE!

Answer: We will see right? We hope you do.

From Beaumont:

I moved here from Port Arthur to get away from the crime. Now I am in Beaumont which feels like it does in Port Arthur. Am I wrong Klein?

Answer: No, you are not. 

From Port Arthur:

My goodness! What a great year-end for your Review Klein! What would we do without you?

Answer: You would be just fine.

From Beaumont:

I am a cop. I work the streets in Beaumont, and I want to thank you for your coverage of the Park story. You are right on it and please sir stay on it. Beaumont needs serious help and leadership. 

Answer: Thank you for your service and stay safe. We go nowhere. 

From Port Arthur:

I live here in Port Arthur, so, I guess you cannot even be safe when you are dead? Back to funeral home ambulances?

Answer: Why not? Really – think about it. One-stop shop?

From Beaumont:

What happened to the big money he had?  Weren’t there two big investments with Allstate Ins.   Did the Feds get them for taxes owed?  

Answer: Great question. Maybe the court and DA need to ask that question. Jail time. 

From Houston:

You fxxxxxx people are a joke over there. How screwed up can you guys be?

Answer: We have more material than you could dream.
