When you put barratry above the truly criminal element you make more headlines, and score more points with the people who support your campain with money.

The DA's office shouldn't be the place for petty politics. They are supposed to serve a vital function for the city, and law enforcement. Lets get the right people in there.

Is there really so much crime and so many trials in Corpus Christi that we have to build such a back log of cases?

How much do the lawyers make in the DA's office? How many of them are there? Where do they expect the city is going to find the money to give them raises? The city is going broke, our taxes are too high and every thing needs more money and investments to make the city work.

Perhaps its time to start de-annexing some property and let some smaller town form, or let the county take some areas back over.

The DA's office is a department of Nueces County, not the City of Corpus Christi. De-annexation wouldn't solve anything with regards to paying the DA's staff.

That said, I can't find fault with anything else you've said. And if both of these candidates really feel that the most pressing issue is "better pay, less case load", then I think a write-in candidate should step up pretty quick, because we're left with a choice between the lesser of two evils here. Funny how it seems that way with most elections!
