Lewis Talks About Accountability at Spring Branch Debate
Posted in News.
City Council District A candidate Lane Lewis Thursday night debated all six opponents for the November 2009 election at a forum sponsored by the four Spring Branch Super Neighborhoods.
“[District A Residents] want accountability. They want to make sure that what I say in rooms like this tonight are the same things I am going to say when I’m down at City Hall,” said Lewis during Thursday’s forum.
The forum was an opportunity for Spring Branch residents to see first-hand the candidates vying for the District A position and to hear them talk about issues like Bunker Hill flooding and Long Point development.
“A huge part of my campaign since day one has been accountability,” said Lewis during the forum. “As I said in my opening statement: making sure that what I say in this room is the same thing that I’m going to say to you in your living room, is the same thing I’m going to say when I am sitting in front of the builders, is the same thing that I’m going to say when I’m at City Hall doing your business…”
“Lane spoke about accountability, and Spring Branch residents are looking for an accountable City Council Member to solve the real problems we face,” said Gail Clarke, Shadow Oaks resident. “Lane stood out tonight because he was the only one on stage that seemed ready to be on City Council right now.”
