Political discourse among many often is accompanied by disfavor of how our elected officials tend to vote with their wallet instead of for the interests of their constituents.

However, many if not most fail to realize that special interest groups also control their civic agenda. Missouri City is no different.
Rosenberg’s annual citywide cleanup event, a project of the City’s Image Committee, as held Saturday, May 3 has been deemed a success by Kenneth Jansky, the City’s Public Works Director. “The City encourages our residents to participate in this opportunity to get rid of hard-to-dispose-of items in and around their homes and businesses; and based on the items that were delivered to our two collection centers at Brazos and Sunset Parks, Rosenberg’s residents took full advantage of the clean-up day,” reported Jansky.
