Nomination Of FBISD Trustee’s Husband Raises Questions For Some In The District
By: Jamie Mock on Thu, Dec 16, 2010News

The nomination of Albert Glover to fill a vacant seat on the Fort Bend County Appraisal District board has resulted in at least one Fort Bend Independent School District Board of Trustees member being “inundated” with phone calls and e-mails from concerned residents.

The board nominated Albert Glover at Monday night’s meeting. Albert Glover is the husband of Trustee Marilyn Glover, who abstained from voting on the nomination. Trustee Jim Babb also abstained.

Many residents have questioned the ethics of nominating the husband of an active board member, and Babb said he has been inundated with phone calls and e-mails concerning the nomination.

There is no mention of Albert Glover’s name in the agenda packet for the meeting. The resolution included in the packet has a blank line where the nominee’s name would be written.

FBN: MC Safest City Numbers Still Not Adding Up (this blog reported on this almost 3 years ago)

Apparently the city believes it is ok to lower their crime rate by including areas not directly in the city limits (but in the ETJ areas). Some of these areas have rather large populations and are serviced by the Sheriffs office and not city police. If they are including these residents, it would tend to lower the rate of crime by inflating the base population numbers used. One other interesting point is the FBI crime stats depend on the cities to accurately self report.....

What's the motive? Your guess is as good as mine....
