The Board of Agitation is an apt title. The new chief of staff, Todd Webster, will go to no ends to attain his goals, so does he want to mend fences or bridge them. Webster who was Governor Rick Perry's Advisor for Public Education from 2002 to 2007, is back in town.
While Webster has owned a house in Kyle, he has spent the majority of the last two years out of state. Now Webster wants to be appointed to his local school board. He seeks to replace Hays County board member Joe Munoz who recently resigned ... "after he moved to a home outside the district. The resignation came amidst controversy over repairs the school district made to a home it was leasing to him."
While Webster was a councilmember in Kyle, Munoz was a Webster supporter. Birds of a feather flock together and these two people are much more alike in their public policy sense of ethics and standards than they are different.
Working for the governor's office was good for Webster. Too bad he didn't learn a high value of ethics when he was previously a state employee. Perhaps time has lessend Webster sense his own self worth and reduced his level of vindicative behavoir patterns.

Statesmart - Is that you Sherri A.? You should know better than anyone that Webster was never supported by Munoz. Glad to see those anger management classes have been working for you, as we haven't hear from you in such a long time. But it's time to crawl back under your rock. Maybe you should even go shoe shopping. Nothing makes me feel better about the world than a beautiful pair of shoes.
