Mr. Hobson has outdone himself when it comes to incredulous comments from an lawyer :

Aldawsari pleaded not guilty on Friday. His lawyer, Rob Hobson, issued a statement Friday that reads in part:
“This is not Alice in Wonderland where the Queen said ‘first the punishment then the trial.’ This is America, where everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence, due process, effective representation of counsel and a fair trial.
“I request that everyone take a step back and allow the legal proceedings to unfold in a timely and orderly fashion. The eyes of the world are on this case and the treatment of this accused person. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to show the world how truly fair our legal system is; even to those who are accused of trying to harm our country.”

Again — you hit the nail on the head when it comes to the “new” County jail. I saw that article and ended up with the same dandruff problem. This is one of those rare occasions where you can directly put the blame on a few select individuals, rather than an anonymous “group-think” committee.

Good to see you back on track, Amigo. You hit the nail on the head, especially as it relates to the new jail. Not only County commissioners…………..

Not to sound like a broken record, but not ALL present council members support robbing Lubbock Power and Light. Love, PRB

I am glad I am not the only one that sees this fleece of Lubbock tax payers Randy. They tell us we will make money selling beds to the Feds at $65 a bed. That they are planning on around 150-200 beds. The average transition time for federal immigration transfers is 2 days. Judge Head admits we will only be paid for beds occupied. But planning is for 150-200 beds per month. I don’t see it happening and like everything else it is bad cash-flow planning. That is bad enough with businesses do it, it is a disaster when governments do it. And who is leading the financial charge? A lady that went through personal bankruptcy twice! Then they tell us we’ll make money selling beds to rural counties. Problem is there are cheaper rents in the other west Texas jails that have been built than Lubbock’s new one. Bad math…

Great job Randy. I guess now we need to get ready to get played by LISD.

Good work Randy! If the rumors about the ineptitude of some of the sub contractors are half true, then there have been real problems in the building of that facility.

I sure wish you would have mentioned that not ALL city council members voted for this ‘highway robbery”….

The city keeps spending money like it grows on trees so every time they go to the bargaining table their opponents know they can soak us for more than they deserve.
I suppose there is probably a clause in the contracts that say Garza county has rights to all the water they need from the system.
