Hopefully we can agree that it was unprecedented in HCDAO history.<br /><br />9:28- I also disagree with you that one's personal life is not a consideration in politics. How one conducts his personal life has a great deal to do with how he or she behaves in the political arena. The reason Hooper has been focused on is because of the influence he has tried to exert via multiple identities he has assumed as well as his influence on his wife and how she has conducted herself. I don't think you can just separate the personal from the public as they are quite interwoven. <br /><br />You make a big point about anonymous commenters yet refuse to acknowledge that people may not be able to risk harming their livelihood and families well-being by publicly identifying themselves by exercising the right of free speech. Most employees of Lykos are not even close to retiring. We all know she will be gone (sooner or later)before we can retire. We are doing the best we can. You shouldn't blame us for expressing our frustration in a "safe environment". I can assure you that if Lykos was doing even a reasonable job, 90% or more of the office wouldn't still detest her after 3 years in office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-25736053082425118032012-01-25T10:41:08.591-06:002012-01-25T10:41:08.591-06:00Has anyone actually bothered to listen to what Mik...Has anyone actually bothered to listen to what Mike Anderson gave as his reasons for deciding to run for DA?

The Attorney General will go after the person and IF they are a high profile movant with $ they should have gone after the person way before now. With all due respect - when a person won't do what they are legally obligated to do under the Family Code there ARE remidies and THEY have a duty to the children to go after that person to collect.<br /><br />Unless I'm mission something there are remedies out there that have NOTHING to do with complaining on a Blog site - politics asside.<br /><br />What's the hold up? If he is the father and there is a decree / court order on file then payment must be made or he is put in jail until payment made. Come on - what am I missing here? I am NO fan of Palmer or Lykos and could care less about Jolly. Mother - what is the hold-up? No $ for a lawyer? Even if dad claims he is broke he sits in jail.

Big Jolly: you allowed Hooper to point out his father-in-law, Wes Palmer, gave money to KS's campaign, but removed a previous remark from your site documenting Hooper’s history as a deadbeat dad. It is apparent that you lack family values! As much as I disagree with your posts of Lykos, I can respect your opinion. I have no respect for you when you enable a deadbeat dad to post his BS. If you want respect, you can document how your friend has gone 7 years without paying support to his daughter.

But seriously there are so many things wrong with the Lycos administration that you have to be blind not to see it. Do you think RP pleading the fifth was right? In this office where integrity is so important how can you feel any other way than angry about this highly placed person taking the fifth. What did she have to hide? You are a very intelligent man. Maybe you could try looking at both side fairly.

He also gets a Law Enforcement Stipend, Longevity pay, and he works Intake shifts at about $50 per hour. Then he has a County car assigned (a Cadillac)and free health insurance as do all county employees. All total, his salary and benefits probably $90K or more. Per the Tribune, Lykos is ACTUALLY paying Joe more than several highly experienced REAL Investigators who have been there longer than Joe. Talk about adding insult to injury... <br /><br />Now don't get me wrong, you can't blame Joe for taking something offered to him but as a tax payer I'm plenty pissed that Lykos hired someone who is unqualified just to follow her around and take photos of her creating publicity.<br /><br />I'm sure Lykos and her 'Hey Boys' (Leitner and Bridgwater) are scrambling right now to come up with some imagined duties that Joe performs for the good of law enforcement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-84969090238457061102012-01-24T19:29:56.340-06:002012-01-24T19:29:56.340-06:00I really hate to sound like a broken record, but, ...I really hate to sound like a broken record, but, the HCAO has their own "Joe the investigator/photographer.

For Palmer to have taken the 5th and now speak publicly on the matter is despicable. <br /><br />The real reason they are doing this is because they are desperate to keep their jobs and the only way to do that is to sacrifice what's left of their self-respect by helping Lykos get re-elected.<br /><br />Polland is merely a pimp for Lykos and will slant the questions and presentation to favor Lykos just like he did when Mike Anderson appeared last week.<br /><br />The voters in Harris County are going to see through all this and judge Lykos for what she has done and failed to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-17595844275774962862012-01-24T08:04:05.168-06:002012-01-24T08:04:05.168-06:00Re: Feb. 3rd show.

Investigation that will (I suspect) NOT indicts anyone and their term officially ends. There should still be a G.J. Report released however – to be fair to all sides after so much time and money.<br /><br />Notice her answer to the question about any connection between Mike's election and the G.J. Investigation: "At this point No" Got to be careful while they are still in session.<br /><br />Palmer will say what one would expect her to say, with full consent from the top. In any previous administration she would have been fired. <br /><br />With all due respect to Mark's post regarding "Hatchet Job", the dual nature of the piece will not be alluded to but pretty much everything in that piece will be repeated as to why she took the <br />5th. And try to paint Mike as some Svengali puppeteer.<br /><br />Good news: Commercials will win or lose this election. <br /><br />Personally I think it is ill advised to allow ANYONE to talk about all this in a public venue. Memories fade. But this will be Palmer answering all questions she would have been asked in the G.J. yet without the benefit of being crossed by the prosecutors or facing perjury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-1421269540821312592012-01-23T22:58:40.929-06:002012-01-23T22:58:40.929-06:00If everyone contacted Channel 8 and complained abo...If everyone contacted Channel 8 and complained about the show and asked that it be taken off the air, maybe the station could find something worthwhile to put in that slot instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
