GBC council being run by realtors
Gun Barrel City — Dear Editor,
Well here we go again. Seems the realtor part of the council is running things to keep us in debt.
First the old bank building will cost over one and a half million when it is remodeled. It could have been done cheaper on the 40 acres.
The council decided years ago to move everything to the 40 acres. Now it gets cut-off.
Second, the realtor part of council wants to buy more acreage, 92 acres and no idea of cost or what to do with it.
One thing, the realtors on council need to abstain from voting on property; does not look legal or right.
Next GBC will have to ask the voter to set up a property tax on our homes.
So speak up.
This letter is more than likely too late and ignored by the council.
Thank you,
Al Perkins, ex-councilman

Stick to the issues
It saddens me to see Betty Brown attempting to spread lies about her opponent being a district outsider. Lance Gooden was born and raised in Terrell and Betty knows this. Betty herself even briefly left the district to attend college before she dropped out and returned back to Terrell. Unfortunately, Betty continues to push this lie outside of Terrell, knowing that the folks in Lance’s hometown know better.
She should not try to distract voters from the real issue, her lack of effectiveness.
