Woodlands man says his case is about voting rights, not voter fraud
Woodlands resident says 3-year sentence a ‘double standard’

“The story began five years ago when Jenkins and others became concerned that the Woodlands Road Utility District was spending millions of dollars on road improvements without “any voter oversight.” So he led a voter revolt to take over the district’s board and then dismantle the organization. But since he and nine cohorts did not live within the district’s boundaries, they changed their voting addresses to a motel that was inside the district. Their plan ended with Jenkins and some of the others being convicted in 2013 for the felony of illegal voting.”
Without “any voter oversight” means the RUD failed to hold election for fifteen election cycles between 1991 and 2000. Excessive use of the word cohort. Note * this term not used in reference to prosecutors or Mike Page and the developer controlled puppet board.
“He is one of only a dozen people in the past decade to be prosecuted by the Texas attorney general for illegal voting and to receive a prison sentence, with most of those sentences amounting to days – not years, records show.” The RUD prosecution was orchestrated by community insiders led by former Senator Tommy Williams who hand carried the case to the AG’s office.
Boon boon boon
“However, those supporting the road utility district contend it is a “boon” for residential taxpayers. That’s because only commercial properties are being taxed to cover the cost of road improvements in the fast-growing suburb.” Reporter conveniently forgot to mention most of the commercial properties do pay the taxes except for those like several owned by lone approved voter Laukien which received the “boon” of tax abatements on his RUD commercial property 
HERE and HERE from Mike Page’s RUD, The Township and Montgomery County.
“Taxes paid by these commercial properties are paying off $105 million in bonds that were leveraged with state funds for $350 million in road improvements,” ( love to know where he got those numbers from, but coincidentally, 17000 developer lots in the Woodlands sold at an average price of $20,000 each equals $350 Million.)Woodlands Township board member Mike Bass said after reviewing the road district’s financial report. “I believe we’d be in a world of hurt by now without it. Traffic would have ground to a halt a long time ago.” Mike Bass shrewdly avoids mention that the money was spent on Developer Roads, Just like the Developer Roads that caused the upset in the recent $350 Million bond election defeat. Also, not all “cohorts” sought to shut down the RUD, for example Heath who understood that to be impossible while debt is outstanding. The real issue was and remains the absence of proper voter supervision via a republican form of government required by the US Constitution and the Constitution of Texas.
Developer Roads
“Bass and Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal are new appointees to the road district’s board, which was expanded from five to seven members in January.” Yet more appointees selected by the developer appointed holdover board. Also these two are insiders who supported the recently defeated Montgomery County bond and especially the “developer road” component. And while we are on the subject of voters and where you can vote from, There are seven people registered to vote from County Judge Craig Doyals’ office in Conroe.
“Mike Page, the road district’s attorney.” Also, attorney for The Township, SJRA, Eleven Woodlands MUDS and approx 30 other special districts.
Voters, Now you see em, Now you don’t
“But Jenkins is disgusted by the district’s “spider web” boundaries that run and skip along thoroughfares to take in 2,475 acres of commercial properties. This includes entities such as Anadarko, Chevron Phillips and The Woodlands Mall while excluding all residential areas.” More disgusting is the de-annexation of the original “residential” property inside the RUD at 9700 Grogans Mill Road when it suited the developer for purposes of control of the RUD, that property was used to form the RUD in 1991. Then, again when it suited the Developer to reintroduce acceptable voters inside the RUD, developer-scientist-pilot-entrepreneur Laukien was conveniently granted permission for a residence on top of the same tract granted tax abatement.
“the road district board, which then had five members whom they believed had become too cozy with the community’s developers.” Understatement here, the board was hand picked by the developer. The RUD held its regular board meetings inside the developers own offices for years until the “cohorts” challenged them. The RUD official offices are 40 miles outside the RUD in Mike Page’s law office.
“And although those filing to run as a board member do not have to reside inside the district, only those who claim a residence within its boundaries can cast ballots” You need only be a resident of Texas and 18 years of age, i.e. a high school senior from Muleshoe, Texas would qualify as a board candidate.
“Last time I checked, the district had only four registered voters,” said Page, the attorney for the road district. “There’s a man, his wife and daughter living in an apartment attached to a building that’s inside the district.” In 2010 Mike Page asserted there were no voters in the district at all when in fact there were 12 identified. That was until he claims he suddenly discovered two more, the Laukiens. After the “cohorts changed their residence for voting purposes after consulting with the Texas Secretary of State there were 24. Even today, there are as many as 36 voters registered inside the RUD that Page wants to pretend are not there. And the man registered to vote at the Residence Inn is definitely not the manager.
“To vote in the 2010 election, prosecutors alleged, Jenkins and his friends concocted a scheme in which they registered to vote using rooms at the Residency Inn for their home addresses.” Except, the “scheme” as the prosecutors call it, came from the lips of the Texas Secretary of State who defended 9 DEA Agents who claimed their office as the residence for voting purposes.
Fuzzy issue of residence
“Jenkins acknowledged he only spent the night before and after the election at the hotel, and then several weeks later spent an additional 17 nights there.” The Montgomery County District Attorney had this to say regarding residence – And the key term on this particular application is the word “residence”. If you could tell me what that means, I’d give you a million dollars because the courts have interpreted it in a thousand different ways. ~ It could be it doesn’t have to be where you live. It doesn’t have to be where you get water. It doesn’t have to be anything. It can be even based upon what we call intent or I’m intending my residence to be if I have some connection there, you know, we’ve had case, all that come down to just to hold that to be true. ~ [So then the law needs to be changed to define what residence is?] Tyler Dunman: Absolutely. Absolutely. ~ we’re dealing with the fuzzy issue of residence.
“Page, the attorney for the road district, scoffs at that idea: “It’s not rocket science. It’s the home where you intend to reside indefinitely. It’s not a state of mind.” Says Mike Page, contrary to the opinion of Texas courts and Election law Opinion GSC-1 which holds –
An applicant filling out a Texas voter registration form is not required to state that theresidence will be his or her home forever, or for the next five years, or even the next year.
The ( RUD Election contest )decision was contrary to decades of court decisions about residency issues and was really an outlier. The way I read it was, Developer is mad that their nose has been tweaked by some people who were protesting the profoundly undemocratic way that taxes are imposed in Texas, and their embarrassment is such that they call up their best buddy, someone who has close political ties to them and say, hey Judge, we need you to make an example of these people. Utterly politically motivated, intellectually bankrupt decision that could not be reconciled with the way we generally view residence. Most prosecutors won’t touch a residency dispute with a ten foot pole because they are going to lose. Isn’t there a presumption in favor of a valid election and upholding the election results? Just set aside an election? Say no more. Your election was tainted by the wrong kind of people. The election was just a sham; a fiction created by the way the State fails to process land development. They (Developers) became complacent because for years and years Houston area real estate attorneys gave their clients bad advice. Don’t worry about how you will finance that sewer line because all you will have to do is have a – “election”. ( The developer controlled RUD) ~carefully excising any voters. Voters are presumptively not eligible unless they have been vetted by the developer, given the OK, the secret handshake. Snotty arrogance of the decision that bothered me so much. Dirty Judge, dirty developer, dirty everybody. If your that scared, if you create such a powerful incentive to run a dirty election, then you should ask why are you developing that land that way in the first place?
