MCC EXCLUSIVE: Pinnock Explores City Council Run!

Pinnock Explores City Council Run!

Noel Pinnock, a long-time Missouri City resident living in Quail Valley, is meeting with a campaign exploratory committee in preparation for a potential run in the 2008 city council races. He is specifically looking at one of the 2 at large positions. He has provided the following position statement:

"My platform for running in this year's election is to provide a beacon of hope to the citizens of Missouri City. It is my belief that every taxpayer, voter, every citizen, and our business community at-large should be integral in the overall proficiency, efficiency, and growth in our community.

It is my belief that we must restore ethical and responsible city government. That can be better accomplished with a stronger ethics code and implementation of term limitation. Currently we have several incumbents that have run unopposed through many election cycles and have grown stagnant. This has lead to an over-emphasis on Houston special interests projects without regard for the local taxpayers!

This reform effort will require uncompromisable dedication, motivation, commitment, to improving our quality of life here in Missouri City. I will dedicate my efforts with my family's support with due diligence and involve my fellow citizens throughout the process. Working to include all voters in the growth of our city will be my primary goal along with a focus on real tax reduction, which hasn't been the case in our city in almost a decade under the current administration.

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. . .
