So we hear current City Council Member Toni Lawrence is eying her next move, possibly toward County Commissioner. Multiple people have told me that Lawrence is seriously considering running for Commissioner Jerry Eversole's seat, whenever that becomes available. She has already begun privately gauging support. Contacted last night, Lawrence said it was definitely something she is looking at. This apparently, after another formidable female elected official decided to take a pass at the seat... again, whenever it becomes available, which of course, it's currently NOT.
That's not stopping others from considering a run. I blogged a few weeks ago that Larry Lindsay, son of former State Sen. Jon Lindsay, is looking at the seat. So is apparently, Court Koenning, State Sen. Dan Patrick's right hand man. Gee, that's a lot of eager folks for a seat still occupied.
Toni has been an excellent member of City Council. She does her homework and works super hard. She'd make a great member of Commissioner's Court!

Say it isn't so! She embarrassed the city with her comments about our Texas Medical Center accepting patients without checking with her first and now she wants more power. We would be better served to elect Goofy.

Are you kidding me. CM Lawrence is responsible for helping to create the Frankenstein Monster of a CIPs program. It is incomprehensible how areas that have never flooded in my neighborhood are deemed to have inadequate drainage while other areas that have flooded many times are deemed to have adequate drainage.
I don't think that she could pour whizz out of a boot without pouring half of it on herself.
