It's nice to know that people are reading the blog. I was approached in a conference room in the Guadalupe County Courthouse this morning by Heather Hollub, the District Attorney-elect for Guadalupe County. As you may recall, a couple of posts ago, I related an article from the Seguin Gazette Enterprise which had to do with the local commissioner's court approving a new lease agreement for the DA's office that involved paying Hollub's husband a nice chunk of rent. Heather Hollub first stated to me how much she loved the blog. Then she mentioned that she intended to post a comment to the blog in order to "clarify" some issues.
Namely, she mentioned that she and her husband were not present in Commissioner's Court for the meeting at which the lease agreement was approved in order to push for the agreement. If my post left the impression that Heather Hollub was personally at the Commissioner's Court meeting, that's only because that's the impression I got from the Seguin Gazette article. A thousand apologies if that, in fact, was not the case. Apparently, the lease agreement was promoting itself at Commissioner's Court and the people who are to benefit from it had nothing to do with its existence.
Incidentally, in my brief encounter with Ms. Hollub, she did not mention that her husband would be turning down the money. Nevertheless, I look forward to the clarifying comments. We can always use some additional traffic here at the blog. In a related matter, check out Guadalupe County Attorney Elizabeth Murray-Kolb's guest column in the Sunday, December 14th edition of the Seguin Gazette Enterprise, in which she spells out her reasons for opposing the deal. *It is easy to comment on this Blog, just simply start typing below.
