Mayor's Wife Helped Circulate Petition Seeking Recall of Gay Councilman

[TexasTowelie]

Cross Coburn’s attorney says leaked Grindr photos came from inside City Hall.


GROVES, Texas — A petition to recall gay City Councilman Cross Coburn was found to be insufficient due to a lack of valid signatures.

Over 900 signatures, exceeding the requirement for a recall, were submitted to Kimbra Lowery, Groves city clerk, on May 23. A majority of those signatures did not include a required voter ID number, and some signers were not Groves citizens, Lowery told the Beaumont Enterprise.

Residents in the Beaumont suburb launched the petition after Coburn, 19, was publicly outed in February when an anonymous mailer sent his nude photos from the gay dating app Grindr to City Hall.

Petition organizer William L. Howlett has been given 10 days to refile it, with a deadline of June 11.

Jill Pierce, Coburn’s attorney, said her team found irregularities in signatures, including forgery, on the petition.

1. I have family out there.

I used to live near there in Beaumont and let me tell you, the people were one of the main factors in my wife and i packing up and moving. These are the same nut jobs who flipped out because FFRF sued to have them remove a giant cross off public land. They went crazy and nearly all of them placed white crosses in their yards so that now when driving through there, it looks like a god damn horror movie!!! All their brains have been warped and mutated due to an ungodly amount of oil refineries being in their back yards. Not kidding, these morons built their houses literally next door to these poisonous pits of vomitous nastiness. Groves and Port Neches are UGLY, both visually and personality wise. Sorry grandpa, 3 uncles, 2 aunts, 1 great aunt, 3 cousins, 1 friend, and whomever else I've offended. Your town is rancid.
