FB Sun Announces Hunter Run for City Council!

Comment: Some of you may remember Mr. Smith, the incumbent in district B, was one of 5 city council members who voted in up to 2700 apartments into the Sienna community, against the wishes of many homeowners here, in Feb. '05 (the first 250+ units are currently under construction on the parkway). He is now being challenged by Lou Hunter who spoke before city council March 19th about development issues and other city concerns. We wish him the best and fully endorse his run against councilmen Smith.
-------------------

Lou Hunter, who describes himself as a long-time Missouri City activist, homeowner and reformer, has announced his candidacy for City Council District B, a seat currently held by Councilman Don Smith.


Hunter said that he has spent most of his life in Missouri City and the surrounding area watching as the community has transitioned into a major Houston suburb.

He views much of the area's growth as positive, but has plans in his campaign to bring greater focus to what he terms erosion along the Texas Pkwy and FM1092 corridors.

"While growth along Highway 6 by large Houston developers is positive, much of our city is being neglected," Hunter said.
The candidate has vowed not to accept out-of-district special interest campaign funding, which he said has become the norm for many on City Council over the years. . .
