--This data can be confirmed via request from the Missouri City secretary for campaign contributions for anyone serving on the city council over the same time period. Many other contributions were made from corporate sponsors who live outside of Missouri City to Mayor Owen and this data will be released in a timely fashion.

--Question #1: With such a large percentage of Mayor Owens campaign contributions coming from those in the land development business can you trust him to represent your interests at council?

--Question #2: Has Mayor Owen violated the city’s code of ethics of which he has signed (see below)?

--Question #3: Has the mayor violated his oath of office concerning these matters?

--You be the judge!

From the Missouri City Council Code of Conduct & Ethics Policy (Adopted 10/5/98) Sections: L & M state “Council members should not use their positions to secure special privileges and should avoid situations that could cause any person to believe that they may have brought bias or partiality to a question before Council.”

“Council members should refrain from personally appearing on behalf of their own financial interest or personal interest of any kind or on behalf of any person, business entity, group or interest before the City Council, any city board, commission or committee except in matters of purely public concern. When legally permissible, with regard to a council member’s own financial or personal interests, he/she may designate and be represented by a person of his/her choice in any such personal business matter or may choose to “step away” from the table and speak to Council from the podium as a private citizen.”

--This paper does not address the decorum violations brought before council against the mayor by residents on July 18th, 2005. Has the mayor or council agreed to form an ethics committee to review these complaints or are some avoiding any actions.
