"The Ballad of Commissioner Ben Neece" by Diego Lee Rot

6 comments:

  1. Neece worked with city till December 2016. How about an open records request of everything that is Neece. Pay checks that show he lived outside of Brownsville on Sally Lane. It might show his office address. Do a search of Neece with city elections to see if he ever voted in a city election. Don't know if he would been allowed to vote if he lived outside of city limit. Maybe he filled out paperwork before he left with the Sally Lane address. Everyone knows he did not live at 1203 Washington for 6 months before filing his application. Everyone knows he did not live in Brownsville city limits for one year before filing. The City of Brownsville website says the qualifications. http://www.cob.us/970/Upcoming-Elections See qualifications on website. Brownsville requires that a candidate live in Brownsville for one year before they can run. Neece did not.

  2. Barton please post a story on this and help get to the bottom of this. Did he or did he not live in Brownsville for one year before he filed? Did he lie about living at his bar for 6 months before he filed? Why does he still have his Sallly Lane address which is not in Brownsville as a homestead exception? If Neece is lying, did his landlord Galonsky help him with the lie?

  3. Anony at 5:32am A QUESTION!
    Where does it say anywhere that the residency requirement is ONE YEAR? I searched municode and could not find it.
    So exactly WHERE does it say that? Part, Chapter, and Section, please.
