District C candidate takes campaign to the streets

By DIANE TEZENO

District C candidate Robin Elackatt, a resident of Colony Lakes subdivision in Missouri City, recently took his campaign to the streets.

Elackatt filed his candidacy for the District C post on Feb. 16 and is slated to face incumbent councilwoman Barbara Gibson in the upcoming city election on May 9.

On March 1, Elackatt and a number of supporters kicked off his campaign with a block walk in the Oyster Creek subdivision of the city.

During the two-hour walk, the District C candidate knocked on about 200 doors and spoke with a number of residents regarding their concerns.

Top among them lack of district representation regarding a number of concerns, including sidewalk repairs, increased taxes and the city’s recent golf course acquisition.

Elackatt spoke with several First Colony subdivision residents, many of whom described themselves as being “fed up” with “getting the run around” on the progress of sidewalk repairs in the city and other issues.

“I think their point is the city has allocated some money and they want someone to take initiative to get the job done,” Elackatt said. . .get the full piece at: http://www.hcnonline.com/articles/2009/03/12/fort_bend_sun/news/sws_-_elackatt_platform_35.txt
