Joe Allport Campaign

Last year when I learned that Nacogdoches County property owners received a 10.5% tax hike while the Commissioners gave themselves a 3.6% pay raise, I decided it was time to run for office in Precinct 1. Our county roads are horrible and in the past 4 years the only work that has been done is to patch them. On March 22, 2016, in reference to this concern, Judge Perry said "we may have to raise taxes again". My opponent, a two term incumbent, voted twice against the installation of a $600 camera for the purpose of videotaping Commissioner Court meetings which are held at 9 am on Tuesday mornings when most folks are at work. My intention is to get elected, propose and vote to roll back the pay raise, propose and promote to change the meeting time to 6 pm and to IMPROVE our atrocious county roads.
