Galveston co. Commissioners vote to fill in rollover pass


Recommended Posts

I'm kinda torn on this one. Rollover is a hindrance to the estuary in general, but these commissioners are way out of line on several topics. This is just the next one on their agenda. If you live in Galveston Co., please go vote these scumbags out. Right or wrong on this topic, they think they're above the law and know no boundaries.

This is the hidden content, please

Is what they did against the law? If not how are they "above the law"? 

Not liking something doesn't mean that it is illegal or above the law. 

Rollover is a man made pass that changed the ecosystem for fun. People that are adamant about keeping it always talk about the memories like that is a good reason not to change. 

I am not sure that closing it won't result in better fishing and end the unnatural erosion that man put in for "fun". I am not against the pass but kind of like the idea of going back to its original condition.

Hey, I'm with you. I'm a conversationist and believe the pass needs to go. More harm than good.

But that ain't why these commissioners are doing this, bro. They're doing it because they can and they just want thump their chests. It's what they're known for in this county and it's why they're going to lose in the upcoming primaries.

But if have lived on the coast long enough, beach erosion started when the channels are dug deeper for shipping. 

Filling in Rollover only helps CB a little.

    • That’s a president? How embarrassing. 
    • Really good hire! As I stated previously on this thread, Mike T has been an essential part of WB’s success the last few years & is a student of the game & I have a ton of respect for how he goes about things as a coach. Big on teaching kids how to do things the right way to prepare them for not only basketball but the game of life. He’ll be fine there, my only question is what kind of talent does WB have returning?  Best thing about this situation for Mike T is WB will be 5A for at least the next 2 years, so he should win a lot of games & have some deep playoff runs.
    • So which coaches kid gets the QB job? Trotter or Barrier
    • A Winnie land owner (and others) sued the State of Texas after they built IH-10 a few feet higher in order to help contain storm flooding. Sure enough a hurricane hit and flooded the land. The storm improvements worked!! Unfortunately the state sacrificed several people’s properties in using the interstate highway as a dam.  Richard DeVillier tried to sue Texas under our laws and Constitution and the US Constitution under the Fifth Amendment “taking clause” (eminent domain). After a favorable ruling in the federal district court on the right to sue Texas directly, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans overturned that ruling and said that the DeVlier had no authority to sue Texas directly.  On Tuesday a unanimous US Supreme Court ruled that DeVillier and others had the right to sue Texas directly under Texas law and under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The case is now sent back down to the lower court. DeVillier and others have not won their lawsuits as the case has not been decided on its merits at a trial. He still has to go to prove his case. What they did win was a unanimous Supreme Court agreeing that he has the right to bring Texas to trial for taking his property with just compensation.
