🚨 URGENT: Petition to Improve Safety on Highway 6 🚨

In recent months, two tragic accidents on Highway 6 have claimed the lives of Robertson County residents. The most recent incident on August 14 resulted in the loss of Diana Campbell at the intersection of Highway 6 and FM 2549. In response, our community is taking action to prevent further tragedies on this hazardous stretch of road.

Tim Hair, brother of Diana Campbell, along with Stephanie Cain-Mercer, have initiated a petition after reaching out to TxDOT and finding their proposed solutions insufficient. The petition seeks the implementation of critical safety measures, including:

Lower speed limits on the relevant sections of Highway 6.
Increased law enforcement presence to ensure traffic laws are enforced.
Installation of traffic lights at major intersections, particularly at Highway 6 & FM 2549 and Highway 6 & East OSR.

This initiative is about safeguarding the lives of all who travel this road. With enough community support, we can urge TxDOT to prioritize these safety enhancements. We ask you to please consider signing the petition and sharing it widely within your networks.

📝 SIGN THE PETITION HERE: https://chng.it/SZtpJZR98B
📢 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST to help us gather widespread support. Together, we can make Highway 6 safer for everyone.

In case you missed this...

Texas opts out of Summer Lunch program
The state has opted not to participate in a federal program to help low-income parents buy groceries for their children in the summer when free school meals are unavailable, the Texas Tribune reported.

Qualifying families would have received $120 per child through a pre-loaded card, with the state receiving $450 million in federal tax dollars for 3.8 million children eligible for the program.

The reason for not participating is a lack of time to coordinate and direct distribution of the preloaded cards, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Texas is one of 15 states not participating in the program, which was announced in late December.

I just saw this post on the page of Marvin Thomas, candidate for Constable Pct. 1. Look at the screenshot and read it...
----
I QUOTE
"I'm focused on YOU - not feuding with my opponents. If you have been following the latest, one of them is spreading old audio records of fights that happened YEARS AGO between them, their wives, mistresses, etc. If you want to focus on gossip like that you can find that here. (https://www.facebook.com/robconews)
I feel the good people of Robertson County deserve better. Let's make our county great and focus on the PEOPLE!
Marvin Thomas for Constable""

So in this post, Thomas calls out David Ray for spreading a video I created. Then he states he is Focused on You and promptly shares the link to help spread the video. He underplays the significance of the video by stating... " old audio records of fights that happened YEARS AGO between them, their wives, mistresses, etc" calling out Austin Myers while downplaying the horrible audio represented on that video.

"I feel the good people of Robertson County deserve better. Let's make our county great and focus on the PEOPLE!"

Now this I agree with...
NO TO MARVIN THOMAS
NO TO AUSTIN MYERS
----------------------
I absolutely was the person who created and distributed the Austin Myers video. Before I say why, which I feel is obvious, I want to tell everyone that I'm the person who made that video. I have 4 more recordings; that was just a sample. These were never played in court, which they should have been.

It has come to my attention that Marvin Thomas, a candidate running against both Myers and David Ray for Constable Pct. 1, has begun spreading rumors and lies that David Ray is responsible for that video (see Thomas's Facebook Post).

He is NOT! I am, and I'm very proud of myself for doing it.

Just because I'm not sitting in Robertson County every day you can believe that I not only have been paying close attention but continue to monitor the actions of our candidates. My address is still Robertson County, my businesses are still Robertson County, and my son is sitting right there, folks, watching and reporting everything to me, not to mention candidates themselves who have been on phone calls with me for the past two and half months.

So, to add to this post, Marvin was not fired from his job at Calvert PD; he resigned. How do I know? I'm still the same old newspaper guy you either love or hate. I have many sources and can back up every word I print. So, there you have it, another lie from Mr. Thomas.

Want more? I have lots more to share, and I hope you are not supporting S.A. Smith for Sheriff because what I have on him will make you ill.

I have a TCOLE sheet of every person running for Sheriff, want to talk stats on training? How about employment history. I swear some people sign up to be our elected officials and honestly believe that you, the people, will not learn who they really are.

Good luck, Mr. Thomas; you have told two lies that I can prove. I have also seen that you have posted Dash Cam videos from your traffic stops. Just FYI, using taxpayer cameras and video equipment to promote your candidacy is ELECTION FRAUD! Don't worry; I have screenshotted everything for the Attorney General and captured the videos.

Lastly for now...
I have received still photos and video of a campaign sign being removed and tossed into a trunk. A new sign of a different candidate is then placed in the spot. The video is out for analysis by TxDPS, and I hope they can get it done in time for the election. I'll let y'all know what and when I find out.

I can't wait for the video of the campaign sign thief to be verified by TxDPS. As soon as I have a positive ID on that person I have on video stealing signs, I will post it immediately. Until then, the guilty person of that election crime better start thinking up another excuse; better yet, you should tell it to a lawyer.
