Pratt,

A few notes about Mark Griffin:

Griffin supported a liberal democrat over Carl Isett. It's in the ad and in the news story that ran in the AJ at the time.

On the Tara property, The Rip Griffin Company, of which Mark is President and General Counsel, got 1.2 million more for the property than the appraised tax value.

Did the city give a gift to the Griffin Company? Or, was the property significantly under-valued while Griffin was president of the Lubbock ISD school board? LISD is both the biggest property taxer and the local government with the greatest number of appointments to the Lubbock Central Appraisal District board.

K.D.

Pratt responds:

The listener gets the facts and the questions right. And this is precisely why I warn you to be very careful electing life-long political-power-insider types. Once someone gets in a position where they profit off of government spending, their motivation moves very far away from representing the needs of taxpayers – no matter what they tell you in a campaign.

Insider-types and Liberals are what have gotten us into the mess we are in. We don’t need more.
