  62. 53 Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – No Comments Tom Crews – No Comments Courtney Chadwell – No Comments Scott Higginbotham – No Comments Chad Tressler – No Comments Sean Saunders – No Comments Mayor Long - I want to introduce our new legal intern, Julianne Hall. Ms. Hall is a student at Clear Springs High School. Already an active leader in many academic and service organizations on campus, she looks forward to furthering her understanding of city governance. She’s interested in pursuing a career in law and public policy. And then also, I got the opportunity to see Senator Cruz yesterday. I think Mr. Crews was there, as well. Really exciting stuff happening at Johnson Space Center. So glad to see him come down here and fill us in on some of the things that are happening over there in the expansion and what they’re pushing for to beef up the space program at JSC in particular which is, of course, a major economic driver of League City. It was a neat opportunity. Also, later that night, got to see the Lieutenant Governor, came down and he talked about some of the infrastructure projects and different things that they’re looking to put in on the Gulf Coast which would hopefully provide us some much needed relief from floods and drainage as well. Glad to see both of those state leaders coming down here.
