He is a nice man, but it is time for someone new. He served from 1978 to 1990 and then ran again in 1995 and served til the present time. He has been in office for almost 30 years. As much as I like him as a person, I think we need new blood with new ideas and some idea about how much Pearland has grown.
@Dorothy : I can't imagine anyone doing a better job planning and organizing a town that grew as fast as this did. It's good to have someone Who values the past and has the experience under his belt then just going with someone because their new
@Dorothy : Key word here is, he ran . He did not run unopposed , so obviously he is what the people wanted. I have my own opinions which I wouldn't express here,
He spoke at my sons Pearland High School graduation and I really appreciate him and his experience running our town! We also have city reps that stand behind him and I appreciate them too! Happy early birthday Mayor Reid! Thank you so much for serving as Mayor!
@Jillybean : I can imagine new blood with new ideas helping us to do new things while preserving the old. I know why he won this last time, but I still think he needs to step down and enjoy his retirement.
