La Marque City Council Holds Special Meetings Amid Controversy Surrounding Lowry's Tenure
In a bid to address the mounting concerns surrounding La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry, a group of concerned citizens has come forward with allegations against him. The group, which includes Devonya Greenwood, claims that Lowry uses his social media platforms to harass La Marque residents.
According to Greenwood, her online post in support of someone Lowry does not approve of has been the subject of his ire since July. She alleged that Lowry sits back and exploits the city's platform to commit "crimes against people", thus fueling a sense of animosity within the community.
Lowry, however, vehemently denies the allegations brought forth by Greenwood and others. In a recent interview with ABC13, he claimed that he is the one exposing corruption in La Marque over the past five years and therefore, there should be no reason to remove him from office.
The controversy surrounding Lowry's tenure has led to multiple special meetings held at City Hall this week. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss filling several open positions on the council. However, it appears that the issue of Lowry's removal may not be resolved anytime soon.
Efforts to recall Lowry have been unsuccessful in the past, leaving the future uncertain for the embattled councilman. As tensions surrounding his tenure continue to escalate, one thing is clear: La Marque residents will continue to demand answers and accountability from their elected officials.
In related news, the city has also faced financial difficulties, with losses exceeding $15,000 due to a phishing scam in April. The recent drama only adds to the woes of an already beleaguered local government.

. It sounds like there's some serious drama going on with Councilman Lowry and it's affecting the whole city. If what Devonya Greenwood is saying is true, that's super concerning - no one should have to deal with harassment online from someone in power. And Lowry denying all these allegations just makes it seem like he's not taking responsibility for his actions... 
. It's like, you can't even get things sorted out in your own community without drama and scandals. And with efforts to recall Lowry being unsuccessful before, it feels like nothing is gonna change anytime soon.
I'm not surprised that Lowry's denying all allegations, but at the same time, how could he just use his social media platforms to harass people? It's like, personal boundaries and stuff... doesn't matter if you're in office or not 
I mean, can't we all just agree on one thing? 
Like, I'm not saying he's guilty or anything (I'm not saying anything 
), but if Devonya Greenwood says he's been harassing her online, shouldn't at least some of us take a closer look? 
And honestly, the whole 'exposing corruption' thing just sounds like a fancy way of saying 'I'm still in charge and you gotta deal with me'. 
. I'm not surprised that some folks are calling for him to step down - when someone's using their power to harass others online, it's gotta be addressed 
.
. And let's not forget about the other financial struggles the city is facing - $15,000 lost to a phishing scam? That's just crazy 
.
. It's time for La Marque residents to demand better from their elected officials 
. We deserve transparent leaders who put the people first 
.
"
. I mean, who needs a councilman like that? He's basically using his platform for personal attacks rather than doing what he's supposed to do - help people. And now the city is paying the price for it 
. $15k lost to a phishing scam is not something you can just write off and expect everything to be okay again. It's all about accountability, folks! You need to have someone watching over those in power to make sure they're not being too shady or using their position for personal gain. I'm all for transparency and honesty from our elected officials 
. The people of La Marque deserve better than this 
. We need change now! 
. Devonya Greenwood seems like a credible source, so if she's saying something about Lowry harassing her on social media, that should definitely be looked into 
.
guess that's what happens when you're too busy virtue signaling to actually do your job. idk how much more drama la marque can take before they just give up on the whole council thing 
. If Lowry is indeed using social media to harass La Marque residents, that's a huge problem and needs to be addressed ASAP. I don't think it's cool that he's exploiting the city's platform for his own gain 
.
. The fact that recall efforts have been unsuccessful in the past doesn't necessarily mean he should stay in office 
.
. I hope the city council meetings will shed some light on this situation, but so far, it seems like a lot of hot air 
.
like how can someone use social media to hurt ppl like that? i'm surprised more people haven't come forward with their own experiences. lowry needs to take responsibility for his actions instead of blaming others or claiming he's exposing corruption 
. The fact that Lowry is denying the allegations but still thinks he can just keep exposing "corruption" without any consequences is red flag 
.
. And now, with the city dealing with financial losses due to a phishing scam, it feels like there's just too much going on at once 
[ ASCII art: ---+---

. Devonya Greenwood's allegations against him are serious, but Lowry is denying everything 
is ridiculous.
. We need more transparency and trust from our elected officials to make informed decisions about their actions. Fingers crossed the City Council meetings will lead to some answers and progress 
!
. And to make matters worse, he thinks he's a hero by exposing corruption? more like exposing himself as corrupt 
it's crazy that lowry thinks he can just sit back and exploit people on social media without facing any repercussions, meanwhile the city is struggling with financial issues and people are suffering. we deserve better representation from our elected officials! 
. And honestly, I think the city should just let Lowry stay on the council - like, he's been doing what he wants for years, right?
