Randy Mankin says the last thing he could imagine is having throngs of corporate media descend on his little town of 3,000 inhabitants, chasing the story about the ongoing tragedy at the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) compound just north of town.
On the night of August 19, 2007, San Angelo Police Chief Tim Vasquez says he was confronted by a Hispanic female when walking out of the men’s room at The Oasis nightclub. She later alleged that Vasquez "pinched" her on the buttocks. And so goes the 2008 race for San Angelo's next police chief. What do we make of all of this?
Lieutenant Steve Mida is running, more or less, on the same platform as last time he ran. He wants to bring back honesty, integrity, and trust to the force.
Outsiders have attacked the incumbent’s administration. But Police Chief Tim Vasquez says crime’s gone down on his watch. And he’s got a few new platforms up his sleeve.
Cunningham wants law enforcement agents to bloom where they’re planted, if they’re from San Angelo. Especially the minorities. And he sees bilingual police officers as particularly beneficial to the force. He wants to recruit more of them, and compensate them for their skill.
Edward Kading says he’s not alluding to anything or anyone in particular with his campaign suggestions. But they so characterize the current San Angelo Police Department administration’s scandals, it’s hard to believe him.
Much has been said about Davis’s fundraising. Little has been said about his thorough platform, which he has thought through to the point of the legislation that will bring it to fruition. His main points of contingency are public safety, police department morale, and economics.
Bruce Burkett has run for police chief several times. As of last reporting period, Jan. 15, he was tied with Ed Cunningham for the least amount of campaign contributions, and absolute last in campaign expenditures. That’s not exactly a barometer of “boon” for Burkett’s candidacy. But with mounting methamphetamine problems plaguing the city, will his platform of drug crackdowns finally win over San Angelo voters?
On a Wednesday in early January, the San Angelo Fire Department B shift is seated around a long table, fiddling with red flyers. Assistant Chief Lyle Daniel explains the crew is “putting their Valentines together.”
The most visible venture of the downtown San Angelo volunteers to date is the “Alleyscapes” project where Downtown San Angelo, Inc. commissioned artists to paint murals in dozens of otherwise drab downtown alleyways. A group of local artists called “Art in Uncommon Places” have played a big part in the Alleyscapes project. But their most ambitious project to date will be unveiled Oct. 13, Saturday, during the Art-Ober-Fest festival.
