About this listen

The video documents a live broadcast from downtown Conroe, where a group of concerned citizens and small business owners are gathered to protest what they perceive as unfair practices by local leaders. The main issues discussed revolve around increased property taxes, fraudulent debt, and significantly raised fees that are forcing small, "mom and pop" businesses out of the area. Speakers express that these decisions are negatively impacting the community and its residents. A key point of contention is the alleged misuse of taxpayer money, specifically in relation to the Crichton Theater. It's alleged that council members are on the board of the theater and are voting to allocate funds to it, while also potentially benefiting through a production company they own. This is seen as a conflict of interest and a misuse of public funds, especially when compared to the struggles of small businesses. The speakers highlight their efforts to address these grievances, including petitions, emails, and rallies, but feel their concerns are being ignored. They emphasize the importance of citizen journalism and unity in bringing about change. The video also features interviews with business owners who are directly affected by these policies, explaining how the rising costs and perceived unfairness are hindering their ability to operate and thrive in downtown Conroe. They express a desire for local government to support, rather than burden, small businesses. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough makes an appearance, expressing his support for the small business owners and stating his belief that a healthy community requires a healthy economy and business environment. He criticizes the current fee structure as "unconscionable" and pledges his support. The overall sentiment is one of frustration and a call for accountability from local leaders, with a strong emphasis on preserving the vitality of downtown Conroe and supporting its small businesses.
