Since I am running for the School Board, I want to provide additional background information.
I have never hidden the fact that my house, along with 700 other homes, is in the area that PXP would like to drill under.
I never thought the issue was relevant because the amount of money to be gained from royalties would not be that significant compared to the work I have done.
I also planned to donate any royalties gained while serving as a School Board member to the School District to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.
If I thought there was any danger from the oil fields, why would I allow them to drill 8,000 feet under my house.
I am beholden to no special interests.
I will assert that anyone challenging my integrity is being disingenuous and has a political ax to grind.
