In his latest article on the Southeast Texas Political Review, Philip's bias is clearly evident in his comments regarding a KMBT Channel 12 story. The bolded emphasis is Philip's, a direct quote from Jefferson County Commissioner Mark Domingue, who is seeking reelection to the Precinct 2 seat in the primary election.

"To be honest with you, it would be pretty hard for me to step aside with a good conscience," said Domingue. "To know that $29 million projects are in limbo would not be a good feeling."

Do what? How knew we have $30 million dollars in projects going. Government projects? What the hell? Who knew?

Our bet is there is a bunch we don't know that goes on in Commissioners Court because our media does not keep us informed. We have a beautiful airport that nobody uses and bridges that are falling down? Go figure?

Klein either purposefully misled and deceived his readers, or his comprehension skills are so poor that he missed the paragraph immediately preceding Domingue's quote in the Channel 12 story (emphasis is mine):

The incumbent says he is especially proud that the Commissioners Court will bring $29 million worth of road and bridge repairs to the county in the next few years.

"To be honest with you, it would be pretty hard for me to step aside with a good conscience," said Domingue. "To know that $29 million projects are in limbo would not be a good feeling."

I suspect he intentionally took the quote out of context, since Philip complains that he is unaware of "30 million dollars in projects going" and references "bridges that are falling down."

PRK blames "our media" who "does not keep us informed." Too bad Philip doesn't watch KFDM Channel 6 - their report on the race had more details specific to these road and bridge projects, published two days before the Channel 12 version. Likewise, the Beaumont Enterprise has covered this issue, but Philip has a hard time with reading, writing, or basic comprehension skills.

Ironically, I couldn't find anything on the KBTV Channel 4 website regarding this race. 

Disclaimer: This is not an endorsement of Commissioner Domingue or Brent Weaver, but another example of how Philip R. Klein regularly distorts the truth for his own selfish agenda.
