REPUBLISHED: Frailey & His Puppeteer School Board Have Created & Fostered A Condescending Attitude Towards Katy Citizens; Win Or Lose This Election, Their Conduct And That Of Their Supporters Have Changed This Community Forever And They Are Going To Pay A Very Dear Price For Their Arrogance
Alton Frailey’s ‘Center of Truth’ reference was not an accident. It was a well scripted, deliberate, methodical, and philosophical discussion of the role and nature of the free flow of information culminating in his assessment that only he and his administration were capable of giving the citizens of this community the truth they needed to know. Frailey and his board and his administration...
Thoughts About Joe “Robo” Adams The Katy I.S.D. School Board Member As I Watched Katy Beat Taylor Out At The Revamped Rhodes Stadium Saturday
I don’t actually have a full column to write about Joe “Robo” Adams. I just wanted to be the first to write Joe “Robo” Adams in honor of his apparent donation of your private telephone numbers to the Team “Robo” Katy political action committee. At least, that’s where the story stands today. Joe “Robo” Adams. That has a nice ring to...

There’s A New Journalism Sheriff In Town And His Name Is John Pape At Instant News Katy; His Interview & Story On Team Katy’s George Huntoon Is Priceless
John Pape and Instant News Katy have emerged as the force of honest and powerful journalism in Katy. Anyone in this community who is not going to that site on a daily basis is a making a mistake. He has become the new journalistic sheriff in Katy. His interviews and coverage of Katy I.S.D.’s bond election have shamed The Houston Chronicle and The Katy Times. More importantly, citizens...
If Katy I.S.D. Can Win This Bond Election On Top Of One Of The Worst Campaigns In The History Of Local Politics & Of Unmitigated School District Arrogance, There Will Be No “Taming” The Beast And No Genuine Academic Reform
From the moment that Alton Frailey strode to the stage at his August 17 convocation with employees declaring his administration as the “Center of Truth” while attacking his and the district’s critics as village idiots to the “Team Katy, Katy’s Best, George Huntoon, Robert Carpenter” debacle of robo-calls this week, the district and its well-heeled vendors have taken...
The Nature Of This Bond Issue Campaign Made A Dramatic Turn Thursday; The Focus Is Now On Politics
Given the dramatic turn of events over the past 48 hours in the campaigns involving the Katy I.S.D. bond issue, I believe that my focus on the substantive matters of the actual structure of the bond issue will take a back seat in the public arena. In fact, I believe that I have accomplished every major point about the structure of the bonds that I set out to explain to citizens here. While there...
George Scott Reports Submits Public Information Request To Katy I.S.D. Following Political Firestorm That Erupts After Parents’ Private Phone Numbers Released & Used By Team Katy In Advocating Bond Issue
Apparently much like a pool table ‘bank shot,’ the Team Katy political action committee obtained the private home, business, and cell phone numbers of thousands of Katy I.S.D. parents and family members in a yet undetermined path that led from Katy I.S.D. School Board member Joe Adams’ formal public information request submitted months earlier. Those numbers were then used to make...

Instant News Katy Breaking Hard News On District Vendors’ Support Of Team Katy PAC
John Pape at Instant News Katy has built one of the finest community news organization to ever serve the Katy community. He’s practicing hard journalism, and he’s giving every side a chance to be heard. It just seems to be the case that the folks supporting the Katy I.S.D. bond issue don’t want to be heard on his website - particularly the vendors who are bankrolling the political...
REPUBLISHED: A School District Bond Issue Structured Like Katy I.S.D’s Is A Modified Blank Check; The Videos Outline The “How,” These Columns Outline The “What” KISD Can Really Do
If you are a conservative, you don’t believe that government ’saves’ money. You believe that government spends money. It is the way you look at the world. So when Katy I.S.D. issues hundreds of millions of dollars in bonds to finance construction, it doesn’t talk about how much money it spends; it talks about how much money it saved. My bottom line analysis of the school...
