Deer Park Patrolmans' forum nets little turnout





Though there was seating for 48 in the spacious conference room located at the La Quinta Inn on East Boulevard, less than half of that number showed up to hear what the current crop of Deer Park City Council members and those seeking office had to say about some of the most charged issues on the ballot such as the proposed Type B sales tax.

Most in attendance were either candidates, their families or law enforcement, who put the event on. Present was Jerry Mouton and Mitch Contreras (both vying for Position 1) Chris Richey (incumbent Position 3) and Thane Harrison (incumbent Position 2). Mayor Wayne Riddle was also in attendance. Both Mayor Riddle and Councilmember Harrison are unopposed in the currently election cycle. Absent from the forum was Shelley Stokes and Andrea Pressley. Stokes is running for Position 3 and Pressley for Position 1.
