or say) of Lubbock citizens in every district that are restless and discontent with the present leadership (elected and appointed). Let's now see, if we get progress.
I was not necessarily for the recall of Councilwoman DeLeon, but I was certainly for the process and the right for voters to petition. District 1 citizens who signed the petition are to be commended. Those citizens who refused to sign the petition are to be congratulated. The citizens who refused to sign or not sign, just because you did not want to get involved, hopefully, will participate next time when your opinion matters (which I think is all the time).
Dixon Platt, Lubbock via Email
Editor’s note: Mr. Platt served as Lubbock City Council Chief of Staff until he was terminated in May by City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld. Platt then filed a request for a public grievance against the city; saying that it was politics which had motivated his termination and not inappropriate behavior as the city claimed. After 2 days of hearings, on August 3, Platt announced his intention to drop the grievance against the city; saying that it was impossible to get a fair hearing from the city appointed attorney who had been selected to act as hearing officer. Platt also indicated at the time that he reserved his right to bring further legal action against the city. That decision has not been made and is still pending.
