If Beaumont ISD finally build a 4th and/or 5th HS. I guarantee it would be called Thomas High. I do have to admit, Dr.Thomas has done quite a lot for BISD.

It's not my business, but why in the world does Beaumont need ANOTHER high school?  First, they can't
seem to finish construction on the three that they have.  Secondly, are they expecting a great influx of population?  Just askin'.
[/quote]WB is a sardine can. It needs to be expanded or a 4th high school. Beaumont was better off with 4 high schools in French, South Park, BCP, and WB. Beaumont needs to get back to that model.

Back in those days wasn't there 30,000 (+/- a few) more population in Beaumont than there is now?

Dr. Thomas needs not be the President of Lamar! I don't he has experience teaching college nor being the administrator of higher education! We need some who is well qualified and has experience as a administer of higher education! Hiring Dr.Thomas would be a bad choice in my opinion!  When Dr. Simmons was hired as President, he had experience of being a professor, band director, and dean, all at LU! We want someone like that! Don't y'all agree?

Thomas has a lot of support in Beaumont, but I don't think it extends to the Lamar University Selection Committee nor to the Board of Regents.  Except for one - Chargois is on the Selections Committee,  What the hell is that about?  Good golly the politics in Jefferson County.  Remember the Sheriff and the brown paper bags full of money that he kept, of course; they were just laying in the front seat of his car.  He didn't know what they were or where they came from.  And Walker
has been re-approved as the electrical contractor for the BISD.  Like I said before - the politics is Jefferson County.  Geeez!

If you vote for either Obama or Romney then you're not voting for the right people.  These two guys are very similar on most of the issues:

Crony Capitalism?  Check
Big Deficits? Check
Big Wars? Check
Drone attacks on foreign countries? Check
Government involvement in healthcare? Check
Continuing the War on Drugs? Check
Eroding Civil Liberties? Check

If Ron Paul had a chance to win, he'd get my vote for sure.

I'm telling everyone! In November, get out there and vote and show a great example of being a responsible citizen toward younger generations! If you have not yet registered to vote, please do so, NOW! This is your country! Don't make any excuses! Register to vote and when it's time, cast your ballot and encourage everyone to do the same, too!
