Pros:

• Experienced in the position
• Succumbed to conservative political pressure(County Executive Committee - i.e. GOP Precinct Chairs) and voted for 20% Homestead Exemption
• Has backed off of constructing the WPX(Woodlands Parkway Extension), for now, again due to political pressure

Cons:

• Embattled Riley and County Judge Craig Doyal, along w/Montgomery County commissioner Jim Clark were criminally indicted on June 24, 2016, on the charge of conspiring to circumvent citizens involvement through the Texas Open Meetings Act. While a visiting judge (Randy Clapp of Wharton County) shockingly ruled the TOMA law as unconstitutional, AG Ken Paxton wants charges reinstated .  An accelerated deliberation has been set for January 24th, by the 9th Court of Appeals (Beaumont).  Riley has shelled out $67K in legal fees, with another $50K to be paid!! 
  • **UPDATE**  9th Court of Appeals...  More
