MOT=ON APPROVED UNANIMOt38LY . 2 : . � � 7 � �� FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: � � f r o m ��i��" BOB WICKLANDER When I moved to Friendswood some 19 years ago , the first thing I learned was a man in Friendswood is only as good as his word . I have been� troubled recently with the many untruths spoken about some � ,, of our long—time civic leaders . This morning I was called by the Galveston News meaia asking for a comment about Paul Schrader ' s endorsement of my opponent for the ' County Commissioner Precinct 3 race . � This was more than a little surprise . Shortly after his election as Mayor of Friendswood , I met with Mr Schrader seeking his endorsement for my campaign . After a lengthy discussion , Paul advised me that he felt the best interests of Friendswood could be best served by his remaining neutral and not endorsing either candidate . I feel that the citizens of Friendswood need to know my integrity has been questioned and I have been lied to . If Air . Schrader will lie to me , I wonder what other lies have been spoken or what lies will be spoken in the future . The endorsement of my apponent is definitely not in the best interest of Friendswood .� As a publicly professed Republican , A1r Schrader r� � now is endorsing a liberal Democrat . Once again , Mr . Schrader has shown his personal interest is more important to him than the best interests of the citizens of Friendswood . � Be assured this will not stop me from continuing my efforts to serve the best interests of the citizens of Friendswood and Galveston County . **RECEIVED AT COUNCIL MEETING OF NO MBER 7 , 1988 .
