Time for a change. Promote small business. Bellaire election.

Last night at the Parks Board meeting Hormoz Bastani representing the Baha’i Faith gave a presentation on the possible donation of a Pavilion to a City of Bellaire park system in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the founding of their religion. It was interesting to learn something new, as most of us at the meeting didn’t even know this religion existed and there was a community in Bellaire.
The structure would be made of stainless steel and has 9 points representing the essential worth of all religions, and the unity and equality of all people. The structure would be roughly 10 feet tall and 18 foot wide, with benches around the circumference as a place for reflection and meditation.
In case you slept through it last night, it did rain non stop. The City flooded and many cars became stranded in the high water. The bayou came within 5 feet of going over. It was scary to think my house was going to flood again. At 6 am the water was about 3 inches high in my front yard and luckily the water did not reach my front door.
I did think it was odd that the Police went at around 3am to go get a dump truck to get through the high water. I would have hoped that our Emergency Management team would have been prepared and had the dump truck already at the police station for the officers to use if needed. I truly do not understand why there is never any preparation for flooding until the street start to flood. Even with the best drainage in place Newcastle was flooded and it FLOODS almost every time there is a steady down pour.
I do plan to look into why nothing is ever done when it rains until it is flooded.
This has been a fast 2 months since campaigning started. I have met some great people and learned new issues that need to be addressed. We are in the home stretch and Tuesday will be here before we know it. Thank you all for your support and help.
I do promise to have a very open door policy and I will always be available to meet, chat, text, or email anyone that wants to reach out. Your feedback and opinions are important to me!
