La Marque City Council Faces Crisis as Residents Urge Removal of Controversial Councilman
A meeting was held at La Marque City Hall on Monday evening, where a group of concerned citizens expressed their desire to remove Councilman Joseph Lowry from office. The gathering came after residents, including Devonya Greenwood, claimed that Lowry uses his social media pages to harass and intimidate local citizens.
Greenwood, who has been targeted by Lowry since she posted in support of someone he disagrees with, accused the councilman of using the city as a shield to commit crimes against people. She also stated that Lowry's actions have brought animosity to the community, citing his history of making false allegations and engaging in vindictive behavior.
Lowry, however, denied any wrongdoing, insisting that he has been exposing corruption for five years. He questioned why anyone would want to remove him from office, given his efforts to uncover wrongdoing in the city.
The meeting marks the latest development in a tumultuous year for La Marque City Hall, which has struggled with financial issues and has faced criticism over its handling of various scandals. In April, the city suffered a major setback after falling victim to a phishing scam that resulted in losses exceeding $15,000.
Lowry's arrest earlier this year on multiple allegations has further added to the controversy surrounding his tenure as councilman. One of those allegations is that he attempted to frame Lowry himself for arson, with witnesses claiming they saw him writing 'F You, Lowry Rules' and then lighting his own fence on fire.
The possibility of Lowry's removal from office may be explored through a recall process, although efforts have been unsuccessful in the past. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the future of La Marque City Council remains uncertain, with many residents questioning whether Lowry can continue to serve as their representative.

. I mean, I get that everyone has different opinions and whatnot, but come on, harassing people online is low 
. Lowry needs to take responsibility for his actions and stop making false allegations, it's just not cool 
. And can we talk about how the city is struggling with financial issues too? It's like, priorities, guys! 
I'm all for exposing corruption, but there are better ways to do it without resorting to vindictive behavior 
. Anyway, I hope Lowry gets the message and steps down from office, for the sake of La Marque City and its residents 
can't believe councilman Joseph Lowry thinks he's above the law just 'exposing' corruption on his social media pages... meanwhile, he's probably live-streaming himself throwing shade at his neighbors from his mansion 
newsflash, Joe: online vigilantism doesn't make you a hero. it makes you a drama queen 
and honestly, if I wanted to be 'harassed' by someone on social media all day, i'd totally delete their number... or in this case, just block them 
. anyway, I'm rooting for the recall process - time's up for this councilman! 
but at the same time, i gotta admit that his "exposing corruption" thingy does sound kinda legit 
if he really is trying to uncover wrongdoing in the city then maybe we should hear him out and see what's going on behind closed doors? 
but idk man, the whole arson thing though... that's just wild 
and yeah, it seems like a lot of residents are feeling pretty fed up with Lowry's antics, and who can blame 'em? 
but honestly, i think this whole situation is kinda like a big ol' experiment in how we handle conflict and accountability 
. How could someone in power be so reckless and cruel? I mean, using social media to harass people? That's just not okay, fam 
. And framing himself for arson? 
what is wrong with this dude?! Anyway, it's clear that the people of La Marque are fed up and want some change 
. Maybe this recall thing will finally happen and Lowry can get the boot 
️. Can't we just have some decent, respectful leaders for once? 
It's not like anyone thinks Lowry is above the law or something, but seriously, if you're gonna get caught up in some shady stuff, own up to it or take responsibility like a normal human being. Otherwise, just step down and let someone else try to do the job right for once 
I'm glad there are still some people in La Marque who want to see him go 
. I mean, if he's gonna accuse people of doing bad things, at least have the decency to back it up with some actual evidence 
. And what's with all these allegations against him? One guy says he tried to frame himself for arson... I'm not buyin' that 
. How can someone use social media to harass and intimidate others? It's just not okay 
. And now that there are allegations of him trying to frame himself for a crime, that's just ridiculous 
. The fact that the community is already divided and there's animosity towards him shows you that something needs to change 
.
. We need to have an open and honest conversation about what's going on and how we can create positive change 
.
.
she's been thru so much and it's crazy that councilman Lowry is still trying to silence her on social media 
. And another thing, $15k lost to phishing? That's not just some minor setback, that's like, basic financial literacy 101 
. Anyway, if the people of La Marque want him out, I say let them try 
. Maybe it'll finally give that city the fresh start they deserve 
.
. It's crazy how someone can use social media to hurt others and then act like they're doing the community a favor by exposing "corruption" 
. Newsflash: just because you're trying to be a whistleblower doesn't mean you get to go around hurting people's reputations and feelings 
.
