Growth in Hays County is straining our roads, open spaces and water supply. Citizens are demanding intelligent, honest planning for future growth and special interests are jockeying for influence and a stake in the lucrative development bonanza. The RoundUp invites you to tune in as we will be presenting the 'healthy skeptic's view,' finding the spin and the truth in the votes and actions of our public officials.
It was a proud moment for us all when Judge Sumter took office and I encourage each of you to support her in this contested Democrat Primary election
As a former President and a Founding Member of WimDems, a former Chair of the Hays County Democratic Party and immediate past Mayor of the City of Woodcreek, it has been my pleasure to have worked with Judge Sumter on many projects benefiting all citizens of Hays County. We, along with so many of you have shared the goal of bringing good government to Hays County. Judge Sumter has worked tirelessly in that effort her entire professional career and most recently as our County Judge. Liz Sumter made history in Hays County as the first woman elected County Judge in our county. It was a proud moment for us all when Judge Sumter took office and I encourage each of you to support her in this contested Democrat Primary election.
It is without hesitation that I wholeheartedly endorse the re-election of Judge Sumter. However, FIRST she needs your support and VOTE in the Democrat Primary election. If ever it was necessary for you to get out and vote and vote early now is the time. We need the opportunity to Re-Elect Judge Sumter. She is the person who does the job now and does it full time with proven results.

Gloria,
Your endorsement of Liz Sumter didn't garner any comments so I just thought I would say "hello" here in the RoundUp since I haven't talked to you in awhile.
Rocky, no one responded to Gloria’s endorsement of Liz because you guys have just worn us out. The far to numerous posts about how great she is and how terrible her opponent is, are beginning to have the opposite effect. The constant attacks on Rose, Barton and Perry will make no difference. It may surprise you, but voters don’t come to the “RoundUp” to choose a candidate. Most, if not all, will vote the way they always do no matter what we say here.
Education is a priority for my family and the constituents I represent, but I cannot support giving more of our tax dollars to a district ...

The RoundUp was launched in March of 2008 because the newspapers here are, shall we say, a little too deferential to the local elected officials and politicians. They (the papers) are in survival mode. They can't afford to rock the boat. Many of our public officials are getting a free ride off the taxpayers as well as a free ride from the press. What a deal they have! The RoundUp stepped into the gap with hopes of providing a small measure of balance to this lopsided picture. Our aim is to deliver good solid reporting and commentary that you will not find in the local newspapers. Editor Ochoa is an award-winning journalist with 18 years of newspaper reporting experience under his hat and 8 more as a high school journalism and photography teacher. We appreciate all of you readers who follow the RoundUp, and we appreciate all your comments and news tips. Keep 'em coming. Remember to stay tuned, stay alert, stay active, and PASS IT ON! Have a good one. Bob

Take care.

I agree with Don.
There are 2 sides of a coin but we never read positive comments of those candidates who are not supported by the editor of this publication.
It's a shame because the same is being done by other local media e.g., The Hays Free Press, San Marcos Newsteamz, etc.
It is not true journalism. This is unacceptable and needs to change.
