Brett Ligon - McLigon, Montgomery County Texas District Attorney.

Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon - Hopeless?

Community Activists of The Woodlands recently sent a complaint To the new Montgomery County District Attorney, Brett Ligon. To get elected He ran on a platform to change the way things have been done in Montgomery County. I learned very fast how things change.

My complaint to Ligon was detailed and had the laws attached as reference. Not only did Ligon deny my complaint, but he admitted that since the County Attorney ruled on the case in the past, he was not going to rule even if the law was being broken.

Here is a portion of what was written in his reply:

"...prohibits our office from prosecuting what may or may not be a violation of this particular law."

I hope this disturbs you as much as it disturbs CATW.

Please send an email to DA Ligon to reconsider his stance on when to follow the laws of the land.

Alleged Speed Traps on Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway. Grass Roots Effort to change speed limits.

The Montgomery County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) takes advantage of incorrect speed limits on Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway every month and issues hundreds of speeding tickets to motorists.

The MCSO takes advantage of certain sections of roadway that are covered by a state funded program (STEP) where the MCSO will get operating costs refunded. It is very frustrating to see SO's sitting in medians taking advantage of incorrect speed limits to get money from the state rather than patrolling or monitoring all the other known traffic hazards in The Woodlands Special District.

Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway have evolved through the years from small sections of roadway to major thoroughfares in The Woodlands Special District.

Recently Mr Ed Chance, Commissioner Precinct 4, has changed the speed limit on Gosling Road from 35 MPH to 45 MPH. The MCSO no longer kills grass in the median waiting for speeders since Gosling Road is now at the proper speed limit. Mr Chance has the authority to perform traffic studies on both Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway to either determine the speed limit stays the same, goes up or goes down.

 

What can you do to help?

Please forward this email to Commissioner Chance and Sheriff Gage.

Commissioner Chance: Please perform a traffic study on Lake Woodlands Drive between Grogan's Mill Road and Gosling Road with the ultimate goal of raising the speed limit to 45 MPH. Please also perform a traffic study on Woodlands Parkway between I45 and Kuykendahl with the ultimate goal of raising the speed limit to 55 MPH.

 

Sheriff Gage: Please discontinue patrolling & ticketing motorists on Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway under the STEP program until Mr Chance has performed a traffic study.

 

I would like an email response acknowledging the receipt of this email.

Thank You,

Concerned Resident of The Woodlands Special District and or Montgomery County.

Will Houston Get The Last Laugh?

Residents of The Woodlands were lead to believe that voting for propositions 1, 2 & 3 last year would free us from annexation. Again, not only was that misleading, but by voting for the propositions we were annexed by The Town Center Improvement District which is now known as The Woodlands Township Special District.
By now you all know that The Woodlands Township Special District is having trouble "paying off" Houston and Conroe. Ultimately The Woodlands Township Special District Board of Directors finagled a deal with Woodforest Bank to cover their butts. Senator Tommy "Tubbs" Williams is President of Woodforest Financial Services. Tubbs was the "Hero" who saved us from annexation and is now benefiting more than ever.
Now, why might Houston get the last laugh?

That's right. General Growth Properties stock went from $51.24 to $.28 at the time of this post.
Remember this as you're paying higher sales taxes this holiday season. Remember this when Nelda Blair and Bruce "Tubby" Tough add mysterious ad valorem and property taxes to your already stretched budget.
