March 29, 2016 Colleyville, Texas
Many citizens were outraged at Mayor David Kelly’s sudden “Protocol” change concerning what Colleyville Citizens Can Speak About as seen below.
However, note Councilman Mike Taylor’s passionate declaration below in March 2000.
One will note that Ms. Bevill was simply trying to point out the Council members attack on a citizen by Taylor and Mayor Kelly during the report of the City Manager’s “Investigation Report.” First words out of Taylor’s mouth was, ” I never doubted it, this is simply “character assassination.” [/box]
Below is Mike Taylor, in 2001, accepting a Plaque after he had lost his next election. However, this was AFTER, Taylor had perfected his personal “character assassination” of the Mayor and other council members.
Mike Taylor, seen accepting a plaque for his service on the Hwy 26 Committee from current Mayor Donna Arp. Taylor filed for mayor yesterday saying “Newton was from the past” and “Hocutt was part of the status quo”.
Mike Taylor has filed for Place 2 City Council as of 5 pm on Thursday. Taylor is a two time loser for mayor running in 2001 against Donna Arp, Taylor received 42% of the vote out of 3,392 votes. Taylor ran again in a three way race with current Mayor Joe Hocutt and former Mayor Richard Newton and received only 664 or 23%.
Now listen to Councilman Mike Taylor’s vicious attack on then Mayor Donna Arp and be sure to wait to the end to hear Councilwoman Ginny Tigue’s comment.

Politics in action. Guess we can protest something when we don’t support certain people but if one of our “compadres” step over the line we can just look the other way or, support the persons position.

So disturbing. Where to begin? By what means did Mike Taylor come to get the document? Why don’t voters recognize that developers have a financial interest to buy councilperson’s votes and will push as hard as they can, or harder? Why don’t voters recognize realtors (and investors and contractors) conflicts of interest? The document dug up by Mike Taylor was only a draft created by the developer but it shows what developers are capable of to buy one city councilperson’s vote and how realtors have a conflict of interest in city council. The offer was not accepted by Donna Arp. Councilperson Richard Newton was a voice of stability and reason for proper procedure when others were emotionally distracted by the character assassination. Where is Mike Taylor’s “I will defend a person’s right to speak” once he became a city councilperson and Mayor Kelly censored citizen input?
