Conservative Republican Randy McDonald For Chambers County 344th Judicial District Judge
After the District Attorney’s office, Randy went into private practice; where he was managing partner at Taylor, Eggleston, Goodwin and McDonald then Randy McDonald PC where he continues to practice.
Dear Liberty Dispatch,
To answer a post that was from Anonymous (Scared of Reprisals by Pafford). This person listed several things that were clearly unfair and just wrong. Speculation or rumors is not a way to conduct business and the allegations of misconduct by this person are unjustified and unproven. I understand that we are at an election year and people will point finger after finger at opponents. Lets please act like adults and make adult decisions before making uneducated statements. I am neither for Constable Pafford or against him, I just can't stand by and watch these type of allegations continue. This letter was clearly written in support of Robby Thornton and thats fine but do not make such ridiculous comments with no backing or proof.
CEC guard pleads guilty to smuggling drugs into Liberty County facility
A Community and Education Centers guard has plead guilty to smuggling drugs into the Liberty County Jail, according to a story in the Cleveland Advocate ("Liberty County jailer guilty of smuggling drugs," October 18th).
"James Allen Roach pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield on Tuesday, Oct. 18, to attempting to provide a federal inmate with a prohibited object.
According to information presented in court, on Feb. 24, 2011, Roach, a correctional officer for the Liberty County Community Education Center (CEC), was arrested for arranging to deliver marijuana and tobacco into the Liberty County CEC to a federal inmate in exchange for money. Roach was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 2, 2011 and charged with federal violations."
This is not the first time that CEC's Liberty County Jail has had problems. Earlier this year, the facility failed its Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspection for multiple violations. The Warden Timothy New, Sheriff Henry Patterson's buddy wasn't even licensed at the Jail facility in Liberty, Texas for years- he was not licensed as a jailer at the time of multiple torts and civil rights violations committed by him and his leadership at CEC against prisoners. (from early 2009 to late 2011.)

This company is criminal and out of control- they have made Liberty County Texas an international laughing stock. The problems at CEC in Liberty County start with Warden Timothy New and end with soon to be ex-sheriff Henry Patterson.
You wont believe the offenses, truth is in fact stranger than fiction.

THE REAL THING VS. THE RINO
 |
| Richard Baker for Chambers County 344th Judicial District Court |
RINO means Republican In Name Only and if a name is mean to describe someone, we could find no simple short word to tell Chambers County Republican primary voters about Richard Baker. While Baker’s opponent is a good conservative attorney with an excellent legal background to fill the vacant District Judge’s bench of the Honorable Judge Carroll Wilborne, Baker has been an antagonist to conservatives and Republicans his whole life.
Baker’s association with the Godfather of Democratic politics in Liberty County is as long as his career in law. Baker has the kind of Democrat credentials that would recommend him to be the Democrat Party Chairman of Texas, not a candidate in a Republican primary.
Baker has demeaned and made fun of and tried to beat down Republicans his entire adult life. He is only running as a Republican because he has to if he wants to hold an elected position in this part of Texas. Furthermore, Baker is used to having a near family-like relationship to at least one of the Judge’s sitting on the bench and with the death of the Democrat party he no longer has that advantage (so why not run for office).
Press Release - David Bradley, State Board of Education, District 7
David Bradley announced yesterday he has filed to run in the upcoming Republican primary for reelection to the State Board of Education in District 7.
A lifelong resident of Southeast Texas, David Bradley has been a constant supporter of the conservative values of this community, including prudent use of tax dollars. He knows that adding more new buildings, athletic monuments, higher administrative salaries, and higher taxes cannot solve the ills of local public education.
Mr. Bradley continues to champion:
True Local Control: Where teachers are free to teach the curriculum -- not forced to teach to Federal and State exams.
Common Sense Reform and Proven Methods: David Bradley fought to ensure that young students memorize the multiplication tables rather than rely on calculators.
Elevating Education Standards: David Bradley supported Social Studies standards that now include American exceptionalism, the Founding Fathers and an actual reading of the Declaration of Independence. He also helped return phonics, spelling and grammar to the teaching of English Language Arts.
Mr. Bradley believes that parents have the right to send their children to the school of their choice, using their tax dollars. He also supports the tenet that English should be the only language used in teaching core subjects.
David Bradley commented that there is still quite a lot of work ahead of him with the Board, vowing that he will continue to be that clear, true voice for the parents and taxpayers of District 7.
Following redistricting, Mr. Bradley’s district grew to include 1.7 million constituents in Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Sabine, San Augustine and Tyler counties.
Change takes courage
CEC (Community Education Centers) Inc. has a long history in Liberty County of abusing prisoners, conspiracy, selling contraband in the jail, sexually assaulting prisoners, taking bribes, official oppression, denying medical attention, lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, denial of water, feces and urine in the food and drink given to prisoners, rancid and rotten food, not feeding prisoners even a minimum amount of food to keep them from getting sick- and they want more money… something has to give.
Also at work or a lack thereof... is current Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson who refuses to take control, oversight or responsibility for the people’s lives who reside under the Liberty County Taxpayer’s roof in his building. His close buddy Jail Warden Timothy New is an abomination in his callous disregard for even the minimum amount of human rights.
In steps Liberty County Judge Craig McNair… he surveys the sum total of all the human rights violations, the lawsuits and the abuses. Wisely he hires a very reputable local attorney named Mr. Jay Arnold ESQ. and asks him to investigate possible CHANGE, positive CHANGE. People… it takes strong resolve to take action and not sit idly by like generation after generation of Democrat of Liberty County past. Judge Craig McNair is going to get an "independent" legal and ethical evaluation of what’s going on over at the jail.
Liberty County Judge Craig McNair has courage- the kind of courage it takes to make positive change and he deserves our full support. Mark this date; Judge McNair continues to be a credit to Liberty County and the Republican Party.

Dear Liberty Dispatch,
I have noticed when the Outsiders move their mouth (or their mouse) I can almost win a sure bet that there is not much truth to what they are saying. One of the most incredible lies they are promoting is found in the annoying habit they have developed of leaving the people they are communicating with the idea that most local officials are happy they are here and are cooperating with them. Other than Henry Patterson, the soon-to-be former county sheriff, I think every official great and small would love to see them return to where they came from.
The most recent evidence of that is the challenge the city of Liberty is paying the legal bill for to keep Robert Valdez a/k/a “Cheech” and Eddie Shauberger a/k/a “Chong” from looking at records they feel no one has any right to see via the Open Records Act. But there are more examples in the past and unfortunately many more in the future.
They can “thank all of the public servants” they want to, but they unmasked themselves to active Republicans when they questioned the descriptive word “honorable” before a former Republican county chairman’s name and then insulted every person and questioned their patriotism that had no military experience (even those born after 1956 that came of age at a time when the military was downsizing at the end of the Vietnam War.
The Outsiders’ “investigations” are costing the taxpayers money (in legal fees and probably in ways only Patterson’s pay stubs would reveal). They are also insulting the voters. What exactly is it that Henry Patterson hired these people to do? It can’t be to win votes!

IS COMMISSIONER FONTENOT SEARCHING FOR SAVINGS?
There is nothing like a political drama where a politician tries to grandstand to make himself look like he is doing his work like the Commissioner Todd Fontenot has given himself raise after raise. He has borrowed and borrowed and spent and spent all in the taxpayers’ names and on the taxpayers’ bill. But as the election nears, Liberty Dispatch has been waiting for Commissioner Fontenot to find a place to take a “conservative” stand and get some attention for it. He found it in the latest Commissioners’ court meeting.
In the middle of a budget crisis, Fontenot wanted to build a new barn for his precinct and he hoped taxpayers would forget he was warned in public meeting several years ago that the redistricting he was pushing would spread his precinct out in a direction that would cause him to want a new barn. But Fontenot is a consistently big spend and borrow liberal Democrat and he only worries about seeming conservative in an election year. Well it is an election year ……. now Fontenot is concerned that the county could spend a maximum of $2,000 to have an outside attorney form a cost benefit analysis of what we should do with the county jail.
Fontenot was the lone vote in trying to take the politics out of the decision making about who should run the jails (CEC or a new company or the county sheriff). The decision involves the nearly $4 million dollars taxpayers pay annually to run the county jail, and Fontenot wants to appear to be concerned that an attorney could charge taxpayers as much as two grand. But is Fontenot really that concerned about saving money and unconcerned about politics?
The answer is an unqualified “NO”! If he were, Fontenot could save over twenty thousand dollars in salary and benefits by doing away with the position Connie Paintsil holds under the protective wing of Fontenot. If phone records were reviewed taxpayers would find that Fontenot is benefiting politically from Paintsil receiving a check from the county. Paintsil spends a great deal of time on the phone organizing the politics she and Fontenot have in common and another large hunk of time talking with people about her church functions. The amount of time she spends doing something makes the courthouse run more efficiently is absurd. Not only should Paintsil be removed, the position needs to be eliminated all together.
Todd Fontenot needs to run an honest campaign. He needs to go the voters and ask to be re-elected because of all of the things he has paid for with the county’s money. He needs to ask for people’s vote by telling them his biggest single accomplishment is that he raised the commissioners’ salaries up to what he considers it should be. And if he really wants to be honest he can tell them he will continue to raise it if elected another four years. If he has changed and he truly wants to join the majority of people in this community, he needs to eliminate jobs that are not needed.

Sheriff Henry Patterson refuses to provide accounting
Liberty Dispatch has been given information that Liberty County Sheriff Henry Patterson has used his seized and asset forfeiture funds (slush fund) in an illegal manner. First hand information is that Sheriff Patterson is paying a local cult called "The Outsiders" money from LCSO to fund attacks on political opponents and for illegal investigations as well as his soft money campaign expenditures.
After repeated records act request concerning the LCSO seized and asset forfeiture funds and an accounting thereof, Henry Patterson refuses to turn over records.
Stay tuned...

SIGNS USUALLY FAVOR THE INCUMBENT
 |
| Click photo to enhance. |
Patterson’s political team has proclaimed they will have all the money they want to buy political signs, last minute robo calls, and political mailers to paint a good picture of their candidate and a sinister one of their opponents. They have scored their first, and what very well could be their last victory, in this race. The “Re-elect Henry Patterson signs are far and away more like what professional political handlers would dictate to a candidate. On the other hand, Bobby Rader, Patterson’s chief opposition, has no political handlers and his signs do not follow the rules the pros tell you work best.
Patterson’s signs “use a multi-color presentation making certain nothing is as large as the candidate’s name”. Rader’s signs include a picture that reduced the size of his print and break several of the known ways to advertise a candidate best. Patterson one, Rader zero.
But these kinds of technical political campaign nuances from the so-called experts may not apply. Henry Patterson’s name appearing large and bright and beautiful may remind voters of the years of absentee “sheriffing” Patterson has put in. it may remind voters of all of the screw-up outside the county personnel he has brought into our community.
THE OTHER CARPETBAGGER HAS ARRIVED
The predicted carpetbag candidacy of James Farmer has been confirmed for all to see now that the list of candidates signing up for office is official. The fifty-seven year old struggling lawyer from southwest Houston is part of a comprehensive strategy by the group Sheriff Henry Patterson recruited to come into Liberty and start his own good ole boy system.
After seeing James Farmer’s bio, voters will be hard pressed to even consider voting for him. Bankruptcies, home repossession, and other signs of failures and instability only add to the concerns this community should have over a man running for Liberty County Attorney who is still yet to spend a night in the garage apartment he rented several months ago and who has not worked one minute in the Liberty County courthouse.
Those who read this website may remember “Chatterbox’ and “Fuddy” and “Sheriff Henry” were all calculating this summer that Farmer would be an acceptable alternative to District Attorney Mike Little. Farmer was going to be their weapon to takeover the head prosecutor’s job and build their own little universe right here in Liberty County. What could stop them if they had the Sheriff, the D.A., and they had the political cleverness to place new judges, their judges, in office in 2013?
But Mike Little announced he was retiring and subsequently James farmer announced a change in his original announcement. He changed to running for County Attorney and at least appears to have dropped his plans to run for D.A.
But what is the plan these days? It may be that Patterson the Outsiders figured Liberty Dispatch and others would continue to express our disappointment in incumbent County Attorney Wes Hinch and the unknown Houstonian with a common name like “Farmer” would have at least a slim chance of beating him. If so, we would like to make it clear now that our disappointment in Mr. Hinch is birthed out of a very high regard for his family and, in the case of at least one among us, a personal friendship (strained as it is because of politics). We think he could be a great County Attorney and we want him to start being one. We know Mr. Hinch, though he may still need lessons in both humility and listening skills, is not dangerous or harmful like Patterson and the cult-like Outsiders. More than that, we know if Mr. Hinch will take a deep breath and meet with most of our newly elected public officials with an open ear, he can play a vital role in completing the improvements they (and the voters) started in 2008. Electing Farmer, on the other hand, will be like starting over again. Starting a good ole boy network with all of the pent up anger from people like Outsider Eddie Shauberger and all of the goofiness and dreams of grandeur of the entire cult is not what most voters have in mind.
So what will these people do when they realize Wes Hinch will walk back into office because nobody is with them on replacing him with James Farmer? Will the brain trust/political experts Henry Patterson has in his camp team with the millionaire supporters they brag about having and use the quirkiness the courts have injected in this election? In other words, will they withdraw Farmer by the deadline this unusual election cycle has created and then have him sign up to run for D.A.? They might have hoped we would support Farmer and mimic their misleading information about him in an effort to beat Wes Hinch. They may have calculated that they could use any positive things we said about Farmer when he was signed up to run as County Attorney as they switch him to the D.A. race. It won’t happen however. Farmer is as much or more of a carpetbagger as the Morrison man that ran in the last County judge’s race. He is not from here. He has a secret past with secret relationships that are not good for Liberty County.
We have seen Sheriff Patterson recruit and install rejects from Harris County in the highest positions in the sheriff’s department. One could argue to avoid the negative effects of local cliques and friendships on our justice system, people from outside the county are the best people to turn to. But it is a hollow argument when bragging about wealthy people buying the races and spouting off about secret investigation to bury political enemies. Migrating your own clique or cult or good ole boy system into Liberty County Sheriff Patterson is not a step forward, it is a leap backwards.
A step forward would be revealing how the assets in Patterson’s slush fund have been allocated. A step forward would be opening up those records so taxpayers can see if anyone in his family or anyone in his political team is being paid by us.
Oh yes, Henry Patterson’s people selected beautiful signs. We believe they will design beautiful last minute attack ads too. But that little bitty picture on Rader’s sign – the one experts say he should have left off and saved the space to make his name bigger – it is the face of a known public servant that is more than qualified and more than a proven hard worker. It is the face that could complete the missing pieces to having a full slate of public officials working together for the taxpayers instead of their own selfish interests.

TIME TO STAND UP
Liberty Dispatch has been trying to UNspin the local news for years now. The local media has reported, or not reported, news in a manner in which they chose who the winners and losers were in local politics. We simply have given voice to a silent majority. We don’t pretend to be neutral as the rest of the media does and we don’t ask that you agree with us on everything, we just ask that you read other thoughts and ideas and unasked questions. We offer politicians and opportunity to answer questions WE THE PEOPLE are already asking as Liberty Dispatch gives voice to those ignored by a very liberal media.
TIME magazine’s recent cover shows you that our local media has some big and powerful allies. Liberty County voters are poised to send TIME and the people who would continue to try and spend our way out of a recession a strong message in November 2012.
With what is going on in Liberty County now voters who would not normally agree or side with us find an outside antagonist that will put almost all of us in agreement or the primaries. Though the infamous Outsiders are playing mind games with the few who will even consider what they say, their effort to compliment and posture as “pro law enforcement” is laughable to most. They act like they are working with our justice system, but in reality their efforts are to build a rogue force to circumvent the deputies and judges and police local taxpayers have hired to serve this community. The Outsiders will never find enough ignorant people that have read about “Outsider investigations” to think that these people are loved by our local law enforcement.
If the Outsiders could they would have a picture of Patterson on the cover asking why people who want Bobby Rader as the next sheriff are so stupid. The questions anyone that is not sure about this whole matter should ask is why when you pull a deputy or a judge or almost anyone in the courthouse to the side, you hear how we need a new sheriff. Patterson has rescued a handful of law officers that were in trouble in other counties to be his upper management and they of course are his supporters, but what taxpayer supported hiring these rejects?
The 2012 primary will give us all an opportunity to relieve Patterson from a job he will surely get in trouble in if he keeps it and it will give us an opportunity to show the world that large numbers of common sense hard working Texans are only fired up by “news reports” that point us to vote to support failed policies.
Dear Liberty Dispatch,
Everyone on this news site is talking about the Patterson, Rader and Cox, match up for Sheriff in the April 3rd, Republican Primary and I will admit we need a Drastic Change in leadership at the Department in November/2012. As usual no candidates from the Dayton Area, in that race, but Dayton area have an important race of its own, for Constable Pct 4. The Incumbent Pafford, in 2008, swept Charles Martin out of the job, because of the Obama Vote. Republican or Democrat, never heard a negative word about Constable Martin, and for several years he had no Deputy to help carry of the largest money generating Pct. by the JP and Constable, for Liberty County. For four (4) years, we have had a Constable, that used the Constable Pct 4, as an extra job and relied on his Deputy as the Office Manager and Bailiff for Judge Graves.
Constable Pafford is allowing reserve officers, under him to patrol, Hwy 59, not being in a coalition and then sending Press Releases of arrests, one end of Dec/11 and one in first week of January. The Press Releases have been sent to Cleveland Advocate and i-dineout and maybe this site. Why is my taxes going to Patrol as a rogue cop, in a area, 25+ miles out of jurisdiction, when TDPS, Cleveland PD, Constable Pct 6 and Sheriff's Department, has jurisdiction of that Hwy, not Pct 4 from Dayton Area.
Judge Graves spends a lot of time on the bench, with the heavy case load. No cases are decided in his office as done in the past years. Constable Pafford has worked around Liberty County, but anyone that knows former Constable Jimmy Belt, what kind of officer he was and how his employment ended under Jimmy Belt.
Early voting in 2008 was a ~1,000 votes ahead for Republican candidates in the General Election. I was rumored that the new constable may have to be replaced within 6 months, due to his past record in Liberty County. He had his job and a full-time Deputy and flew under the Radar, for 3 years, but 75% of sure voters know nothing about the Constable of Pct 4. This Primary Election, he has two opponents, one has law enforcement experience, but does not seem to be campaigning. The other candidate, who is in his a current Officer and who was educated in the DISD, has worked in Liberty County for 25 straight years (Kenefick as Chief, Sheriff’s Department & Dayton) with no disciplinary on his record and has worked the last 10+ years, for Dayton and has a Master Peace Officer’s License from the State of Texas. “Robby Thornton“, if elected, will terminate employment as a Corporal for Dayton and will be your Full-Time Constable in Pct 4. It is time that we quit paying our Constables to use the position at a part-time job, taking his Deputy off the street, serving papers, assisting other Agencies and working traffic, You have the Final say in a couple of months on April 3rd, in the Republican Primary. The choice should be clear, if you know “Robby” Thornton.
Sincerely,

PATTERSON: A STAR IS WORN
When Sheriff Patterson took office in January of 2009 he had many of the same problems all of the newly elected officials had. He had to deal with years and years of Democrats like Melvin Hunt and Todd Fontenot spending and borrowing money like Washington liberals. He had budget deficits caused by his predecessor and hours and hours of unpaid overtime accrued by his department. Of all the negative and inept things you may have heard about our first term sheriff, what he did stands in such sharp contrast stands out from the way Republicans have clamped down on spending as one of the worst of his administration’s actions.
While Patterson was pulling the people that we pay to protect us off of the street, he was spending his time planning the debut of a star of his own choosing. That is right, to save money and be able to balance the books on all of the overtime his predecessor delayed payment on, he just left this community with inadequate protection. Then simultaneously he spent thousands and thousands of taxpayer dollars re-designing the the department’s star logo, stationary and badge.
Patterson it seems takes every effort to disassociate himself from the DPS and he did not like that the Liberty County Sheriff’s department he inherited from Greg Arthur had as the symbol of their association a star that looked like the one that closely resembled the DPS star.
Those kinds of decisions may seem small but they almost always involve big money. That star was not just pinned to every deputy in the department, it was on all of the cars, all of the stationery, and on just about everything representing the sheriff’s department. And at a time when we needed money to keep deputies patrolling our community, Henry Patterson wanted to make his mark on the department. He wanted a new star.
Now voters will have an opportunity to elect a new sheriff. We will soon have an opportunity to elect someone who is more interested in getting the job done than attacking other public officials and trying to make himself look good by making them look bad. We will soon have an opportunity to elect someone who is interested in the helping the men and women behind the badges look good by providing good leadership rather than a different shaped star or object.

Farmer's Fight
(01/13/2012 Liberty, Texas) In anticipation of Henry Patterson and his political team/quasi rogue investigators trying to give traction to their candidate for one of the public prosecutor positions, we decided early on at Liberty Dispatch that though we would gather as much intelligence as we could about “The Outsiders”, we would also inform certain public officials of some of their plans early on. We did this so they could not make up some cock and bull story.
We also chose Richard Pegues to be our liaison with the Outsiders. We did this for several reasons. First, it was evident to us that Eddie Shauberger was no longer focused on trying to elect Republicans or better conservatives or any other of our original goals. His goals had changed to save his rear at all cost. He was more concerned about his legal troubles and about building some kind of political hit team run through Sheriff Henry Patterson and whoever else they could add in the next election. Second, Richard has no legal problems, has not sought any paid elected position, and is well known for having one goal (electing the best Republicans that can be found and giving them the political support so they can be left alone to do their jobs).
With the evil twist and spin and diabolical plot of the outsiders in mind, Pegues left an e-mail trail clearly telling these people to go jump in the lake early on. The e-mail trail makes it clear that it is Eddie Shauberger whose ambitions cause him, and him alone to slobber all over any power he can access through Henry Patterson and the Outsiders to save himself.
Pegues was pushed by Shauberger to meet with these people under the guise of “how helpful they could be to getting Republicans elected”. Pegues met with them and was asked to help find an apartment for a friend of Henry Patterson’s who would begin taking cases in the Liberty County courthouse in May of 2011 in hopes of possibly running to defeat or remove District Attorney Mike Little. It was Shauberger’s idea that Farmer could either run against Mike Little or remove Mike Little via a petition from office so that Farmer could be appointed.
Subsequently, Farmer has not, to our knowledge, taken one case in the local courthouse. Neither has he spent one night in the apartment he rented. In fact, our readers have suggested there is not one piece of furniture, not one dish, and not one shred of evidence anyone lives in the apartment James Farmer is claiming as his residence.
“Residence is considered ‘a state of mind’ by some courts”, according to a statement by Richard Pegues. “I told these people when they pointed that out that it did not make a difference, Liberty County would not vote for people who were not part of this community and I told them Farmer had way too much personal baggage to run for office anywhere. I also made sure to tell a few public officials about them months ago just in case Eddie started projecting his crazy plans off on me like he has Ray Akins,” Pegues continued. “Eddie has taken his gift of gab and abused one person after another. Knowing he leaves a trail of destruction, I tried to stay clear of this deal he has with the people Patterson has brought to Liberty County.”
Pegues went on to point out that Shauberger was plotting something long before he knew anything about it and that Shauberger became very angry and unreasonable the minute he heard Bobby Rader was running for sheriff.
“I am just one more casualty in what I can only guess is Eddie’s reaction to years of stress and what he now perceives as failure after failure. Regardless, he can forget about trying to make up enough stuff to get James Farmer elected here. Patterson would have a much better chance of getting re-elected if he had just done his job and stayed away from Eddie and left these outsider people where they were. If Patterson believes smearing my name is going to help get him and Farmer Republican primary votes, he underestimates the intelligence of Liberty County voters. It is a stupid strategy. If Farmer wants a job here, fighting everyone the minute he commutes into town is not the way to get one.”
What’s even crazier is how Shauberger and his Outsiders cant and wont defend any of their candidates, only attack people who aren’t even running for office… a sure formula for a stunning stupid loss. Shauberger’s apparent guilt has caused him to take control of the Outsiders and Patterson as protection for crimes he has committed and currently under indictment for. Apparently “they” think by having Patterson re-elected, they can arrest more of our justice and even judiciary who they have already zeroed in on.
They will have to get past Liberty Dispatch first… the fight continues.
