Ron Hale for Houston City Council District A

[RonHale]

Well a little bit about me I work in the Intelligence Community for 15 1/2 years at NZ Control Specialists in Houston Texas. I have been the Director of this firm for 1 year now and we have grown under my leadership to a well known company in Houston. I am looking forward to putting some real world knowledge into the District A seat with understanding a budget towards Home Owners Associations or HOAs. I have a engineering background and I am a NICET II engineer. I have done everything from solve flooding in communities, fixing their private roads, and having a general construction background with community development. I have the knowledge that none of the other candidates have towards solving these problems. There are five republicans all running for this seat with their own agendas. I just want to not worry about pot holes, my car flooding on they way to and from work, and not have high taxes because the city wants to fill the pockets of outside the city vendors. Please anything anyone can do to help pray for a well run campaign, pass my website on to friends and relatives you have in Houston, even donate $5 or $10 to help with materials, or pass my name along to a PAC you might know. Thank you and God Bless everyone.

What's your political angle? libertarian? conservative? moderate?

 

[CaseyJones]

to Mr Hale : where did you stand on the red light camera issue in houston?

 

[RonHale]

I am against all forms of red light cameras and even the removable 360 degree cameras the Mayoral candidates are talk about for high crime areas for tax breaks. I am a Conservative with a little libertarian mixed in to make me a get the city service running like a top and get out of the bond issues game kind of Man. Less government spending on things we should have nonprofits spending on. The city should focus on Roads, flood issues, and public safety. It's should be run as a business would run without the bonuses to the board of directors. The elected officials are there at the will of the people to serve and protect their tax dollar interests in city service not their pocket books.

What are your thoughts on the drainage fees? I know it was approved as a proposition but everyone I know says they regret voting for it and that they have not seen much improvement in drainage. Some commercial properties have drainage fees higher than their water bills. Do you think it was just a money grab by the city? Are you in favor or or opposed? I would go into the arbitrary property tax valuations but I guess that is HCAD rather than the city.

 

[RonHale]

The drainage fee is something I was against from the first time I heard about it. There are many small business owners that are going under because of their water bills in my district. The city needing money for drainage program should have come from development projects in and around the city. When a developer improves a area or builds something new they are suppose to improve the city infrastructure that should include retention ponds, but a loop hole in the system is letting they get by without building them. The HCAD system in Harris county toward the city of Houston collection does need improvements. The city has a representative to the HCAD and we need to have the city trying to save money and lower people taxes so they can survive. There are to many fees and permit killing business that need to go or need to become one fee a business pays. If the state requires a license for a business why should the city then require a similar permit just to collect more money from a business it's just not right.

 

[Carlybee]

Thanks Ron..and agreed on the permit fees..they have doubled at least.

 

[Brown Sapper]

Isn't District A held by Helena Brown? She is the only conservative on the council. Why would you run against her?

 

[Bryan]

I was at a candidates forum tonight held for the five GOP contenders for this seat. While I do support Helena (who does hold the office), I thought Ron could have a good future in public office.

This is absolutely correct!
