Before you post completely inaccurate information about Mr. Broussard, please have the decency to thoroughly research the facts. Do you know who picked the "sister city?" Did you know that the person that picked that sister city was the one who planned the trip? Did you know that the person who picked the city and planned the trip was also slated to go? Did you know that the SAME person pulled out at the last minute? Vacation for Mr. Broussard? Not hardly. Have you had the decency to even request a meeting with him to discuss this before you decided to slander him in a public forum? Mr. Broussard is just what this town needs. “Screw the city of Hutto?” Pretty strong words and also amazingly incorrect in addition to being transparently immature. Put your money where your fingers are and sit down and talk with him. I have. After doing so I have made up my OWN mind that the “rumors” from people using tactics such as yours are nothing more than made up nonsense. Ed Broussard is not only a great city manager, but a man of impeccable character. Remember folks, just because it is in print, does not make it true. You have to inform yourself in order to make an informed decision. Don’t be “too busy” to learn the truth.

Wow, you’re really informed of the facts. How many council meeting have you’re been to? That’s right probably none, because I attend every one and I've never heard anyone speak up about Mr. Broussard. This guy has a job that no matter what he does, someone or some special group with an agenda wont like it. No matter who has this job someone wont be happy and will cry in a forum like this or at the Wag A Bag where the real brain trust of Hutto is. I don’t support this trip but I also didn’t hear one single person get up in front of the council to denounce it either. (including myself) Rather the opposite, people in a small and exclusive group that think the High School mascot is the way to promote our city. That group got their way. Most likely you know that group, say something to them if you don’t like it. That group is really running the city.

How many times does the Ed Broussard, the City Manager, get to screw over the citizens of Hutto? It seems to be as many times as he wants because no one is putting a stop to it. We, the citizens of Hutto, have now paid for his vacation to Africa. Oh I know it is suppose to be part of a so-called “campaign to create a sister-city relationship”, but I am not that stupid and neither are the citizens of Hutto. What this trip is really about is Ed Broussard and Will Guerin getting an “all-expenses-paid” trip to Africa. There is absolutely no proof that this trip will do anything to bring new business to Hutto or improve the community as a whole. The $10,000 being spent on this trip could have been utilized to help bring a fitness center to Hutto, make improvements to the new library, aiding the effort to keep a new substation and transmission lines out of Hutto, or even toward developing real plans for bringing new business to Hutto. But it seems that Ed Broussard felt that we, the citizens of Hutto, owed him a vacation to Africa instead. Wonder why he feels he has even earned that? Do we have a grocery store? No. Forest Creek got that when HEB took over the old Albertsons location instead. Do we have a community pool and/or fitness facility with the YMCA? No, but Taylor and Round Rock both have those facilities for their citizens. Do we see a real improvement to the City sign ordinances? No. We have a committee “working” on it with members that have no idea what they are actually working on fixing. Do we have a community center? No. According to Ed Broussard there is simply not enough demand or money in the budget for such a facility, but there was enough money there for his African vacation. I could go on, but why bother? It is painfully obvious to a growing number of citizens that the City Manager, Mayor and City Council are totally out of touch with the community they serve, but too many of residents of Hutto seem to be too “busy” to care. So I guess we get what we deserve don’t we?

c.p.s and letting people know (hutto and taylor) I just wanted people to know if C.P.S ever knocks at your door for the littlest thing HIRE A ATTORNEY! DO NOT TALK TO THEM AT ALL! My girlfriend did nothing wrong they came out lied, made up stories told people things that were not true, lied to the children, then they made her do all this crap and then bullied her and took her kids off of her and finally we went to a attorney that stated we should of came to him in the begining and now it is gonna cost us roughly 3 to 5000 dollars to fight them to get her kids back! Again I know it is hard to believe but she did not do anything wrong. She complied with everything they told her to do they even closed the case and another branch re opened the case and took her kids 2 weeks there is a hearing and she has to pay 3 to 5000 dollars for an atty which she will get her kids back but wtf all that money could of went to the kids....... So Please if you know anyone and they state cps was talking to them tell them to quit talking to them they are trying to build a case to take your children off of you and they lie and twist things around in their story to take your kids off of you. Please also if anyone knows a good lawyer that might cost less let us know. We are not signing this lawyer on till Tuesday morning. We have 1k up front and more as we work. If anyone knows a paper or news reporter please direct them our way also. We have emailed every reporter from Austin to Georgetown so (fingers crossed). If anyone would like to help us with atty fees email us. My name is Mark and my gf name is Stephany. Our email address is markjabout@yahoo.com. Please no rude or bashing emails. We have enough stress as it is I just thought other people in Austin would like to know and pass the message on. Message being If C.P.S ever contacts you or a friend and wants to talk etc. Tell them no and hire a atty the atty told us that all of this crap we are dealing with would have been avoided if we would have told them to screw off and hired an atty. So please pass the message on. C.P.S. is liers, bullies and cheaters. They are taking children off the wrong parents.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Again we have contacted many many reporters but maybe you know of one that would be interested? Do you know of a church that could help with our legal fee¡¦s???? Let us know please and thank you. Let us know also anyone that has been a victim to C.P.S contact us (of course you have to have proof that they were completely wrong) Maybe the power of many will get cps to back off good parents. A lot of people and the media could expose them.

I just read the article on the HMS knife incedent and the shanking,bullying, I am upset at the HMS principal for not suspending these kids, are we going to see another Columbine School issue, what is it going to take for them to do something about this?Parents have addressed this to the shool board but it seems they just want to keep their eyes closed.

I think the "Mt. Hutto" Williamson Co. landfill contract should be put up for bid. Why should WM just get it? How about a nice TEXAS company like Texas Disposal Systems? They would even build a facility like their Creedmore one, with a game observation ranch and a charitible organization fundraiser lodge, which is NICE. I've been to it and there is no garbage smell downwind of the site, no smelly nuisency birds, no trash blowing around. It's great. And it's a TEXAS company. Why can't they bid on the Williamson County site? Isn't that how things are done here? I asked our County Commissioners, but only Lisa bothered to respond to my questions. Thanks for your time and attention.

Give the Gift the Keeps on Giving Christmas is all about giving to others - not about ourselves. Have you ever thought about hosting an exchange student? If you do, it will change your life and the life of the student forever. International student Exchange currently has nine students that need homes starting in January. There is a new area rep in the Taylor area that would like to find a few new families willing to host a student. Teens are available from Nepal, South Korea, Columbia, Sweden and Germany. Students are pre-screened for their English skills, are good students, come with their own spending money and are expected to help with chores. For more information, please call Helena @ 630-8888 or Marilyn @ 267-7314 at your earliest convenience. My parents have hosted students since I was a young child, so I can can speak from personal experience, that this is a gift that keeps on giving.

Why would the city allow the ex-city manager sign a water contract with Frankie Limmer's company costing Hutto's water customers $ 189 MILLION when last we knew Hutto was negotiating to buy water from the BRA/Taylor at one third Limmer's price? Why?? This "deal" stinks!
