First Posters In Baytown City Election Go Up
The filing deadline is 11 days away but posters appear early as Baytown politics begin. Candidates must post $50 bonds to ensure removal of placards after the April 6 election or any runoff. Incumbent District 2 councilman David Evans and nine opponents including Mrs. Ruby Boyles Callaway posted bonds. Callaway may wait to display signs until Carl Conmerton’s ballot status is decided. Connerton, from District 6, is barred by a city charter requiring real estate ownership but considers legal action to appear on the ballot and perhaps delay the election pending a court hearing.

Baytown Could Be Excluded From East Texas District Plan
Houston report: Rep Clyde Haynes says his draft would carve from Harris County to form an East Texas district but Baytown might not be included. He stressed it is just one interpretation and multiple plans will be heard. Baytown Rep Joe Allen opposes curbing Harris County into East Texas. A Houston hearing is set Friday at 9 am. Barbara Jordan declined comment. The tentative plan would move 163,000 northeast Harris residents from Eckhardt’s district into the new seat.
