College bond debate centers on site and process
Vicnair urges Sharon Lane to meet over a major college decision and bond plan with critics arguing insufficient discussion of options and priorities. Board chair Moore-Fontenot defends transparency, while Regent Gray backs North Main for expansion and proximity to Chevron Phillips and Enterprise activity. Coffey notes broad input and that the bond package was developed through official channels. A flood-zone claim about the McNair site is dismissed as unfounded by Coffey.

Faculty leaders backed North Main for access and growth, while McNair supporters argued the bond intent favored McNair and warned against changing voter-approved plans. Officials expect construction to begin within months and plan a continuous program transition from the main campus to the new site.

Regents Freeze Senior Citizen Property Taxes in Baytown
The Lee College board of regents approved a resolution to freeze property tax levies for senior citizen homeowners at the amount paid when they turn 65, extending the limit to disabled homeowners. The policy mirrors an existing state rule for school taxes and follows Baytown’s prior adoption by the city. Regent Don Coffey noted the district had been unique in town for not implementing the freeze.
