Comment from: COLLIN COUNTY ATTORNEY [Visitor]

Willis has the most local support - by a landslide. Angelino has only one Collin County Attorney supporting him based on this most recent filing. All of his legal support is from Dallas and Denton County Attorneys - as well as some out of state attorneys. My concern with Angelino are his ties with a disgraced regime at the Denton County DA's office - I understand that he is not personally responsible for the failings in that office. But, he never spoke out about it publically. With the state of the problems in the current DA's office, we need someone with a proven record of fighting for the citizens - not for their own job.

Greg Willis endured a witch hunt and faced a Grand Jury because of the machinations of the District Attorney's office. He quit his job as a judge to take a stand and run as DA to clean up that office. That is leadership - not someone who was just looking for a job - he had one.

You are so correct CCA. Greg Willis has set the bar very high and will serve the citizens of Collin County extremely well. He is a man of integrity and substance. I know with Greg Willis as DA, he will have the discernment and wisdom to fulfill this role. I'm so glad that there is a clear choice in this race on March 2nd.

Comment from: Voting For Greg [Visitor]

Greg Willis:

• Will clean house of the filth within the DA’s Office,

• Understands the job of DA is to “Seek Justice – NOT convictions”,

• Understands his job is not to stroke his own ego,

• Will hold “testi-liars” and “creative incident report writers” accountable and see they lose their cases, LE licenses and are prosecuted,

• Will hold prosecutors who hide evidence and subjorn perjury during trial accountable and see they are disbarred.

Greg Willis will rid Collin County of the stench left by John Roach and his good old boy brigade of unethical minions.

And it's been a long time coming, but the time is near.

It is my hope that this forum will serve as an acute observer of Collin County government, leading to the return of the county to those it is supposed to serve.

I will post my opinions, fair analysis, news clippings that are relevant to local issues, and your comments.

To post your comment, you may register, or you may post anonymously. Comments will be reviewed before being placed online.
