Thomas verses Leader Press

Last fall Thomas said his law suit against the Leader Press would probably come up after the first of the year. Have seen nothing in the papers regarding it. Thomas, what's the hold up ? No case ?

I was kind of wondering this myself. The last I read was that it was supposed to be going to court in March or April.

It wouldn't surprise me if it never came to trial. Has been in the mill too long.

Why was he suing the Cove Leader Press?

Best of my recollection it is for slander,deformation of character or telling lies. Anyway it had something to do with effecting Thomas's character. For whatever reason the people at the Leader Press have had it. Sorry bunch of so and so's according to Thomas.

I recall on these threads where he was going to sue someone on here too.

I think that it was the blogger that reported him claiming two homestead exemptions that he threatened to sue. He claimed one in Travis County and one in Coryell. Of course it wasn't his fault , The tax office screwed up. We will never know how many years this took place.

If you are of the oppinion that anyone who walks into the Oval Office isn't completely checked out you're naive beyond the scope of reality. If you want a real picture of reality come to the Libel trial in Gatesvile's district court. We don't have long to wait. I spoke to Dan Corbin last week and we should be asking for a trial date with in a couple of weeks. We'd of course been sooner but the Liberal Press took a year before a set order to compel forced them to comply with the rule of law and disclose what they were required to disclose Dec of 2007. This is of course not my view it is a matter of record. But being as close as you obviously are to the LP I'm sure you know all that. They have stalled about as long as they can.********* The foregoing is a post that Thomas made on January 1st of this year. He says it is a Libel Trial.

It just could be that his attorney doesn't want to go to trial sensing that he isn't litigating a winnable case. He, the attorney, did the same thing to me about 2 1/2 years ago. He filed a personal injury claim against my automobile insurance policy for an alleged victim. I had given a detailed statement to the PD and the general response was, No harm, no foul. I gave my insurance adjuster a sworn statement recalling the event in question. When the adjuster asked the attorney's office to make the claimant available for a statement and for copies of any record of treatment there was no response. Nothing! The insurance company closed the file only about a year later to receive a notice that the claim was being reactivated. Same thing - no statement from the claimant, no records of any treatment. They closed the file again and told me that they would not reopen it - any statement of events from the claimant after over two years would be highly suspect for accuracy.

A couple of things have just come to light:

Oscar is Bill Thomas.

Dan Corbin is an ambulance chaser.

It is odd that he did not notice the exemption on his Travis County tax statement. He had lived in Copperas Cove several years before this came to light. Guess if I was saving money on my taxes I wouldn't complain either. It was a total surprise to him according to the blog at that time.

I recall Thomas really reading someone the riot act because they were accusing him of cheating on his taxes. As you mention he had lived here a number of years and I bet he did not offer to pay the back taxes that he saved by claiming the exemption on the house in Austin.

Boy we need basic reading lessons. There is a difference between explaining the proceedure as explained to me by the folks in both the Travis County and Coryell County offices and saying the County (either county was wrong). When you change your homestead excemption from Travis County to Coryell County Travis has no real reason to post it on an information sight until it is time to pay your taxes and then it is of course in your file. Nobody's fault. Just basic common since proceedure. It is a fact that we left our homestead in our Travis County Home (where we did and still live part of the time) untill last year. Actually it was virturally the same as having it here but I thought since we vote in Travis (perfectly legal if you have two homes you can vote either place) I would keep the Travis County homestead exemption. Technicly it cost us slightly more. We would have been a few dollars better off if we had the excemption here rather than Travis but it would have been marginal. I have never recieved the exemption in both Travis and Coryell County the same year. Seems that both county tax offices are fine with my tax payments, but some people just have to twist the truth.
As for the law suit we'll be asking for a court date the minute the State Ethics Committee rules on Larry Hauk's latest stall. As a matter of public record we had to ask the court in Gatesville to force disclosure from the LP that they were a year late in giving us. Dec. 2 2008. Should have been disclosed Dec of 2007. However, there is no since in trying to confuse some folks with the facts. We will have our day in court, regardless of the constant stalling tactics of Larry Hauk and the Liberal Press.

Mr Thomas, We will all be waiting ????????

"?" Will you be waiting or not? LOL! Probably so. A lot of you wait on hearing other people's business. Of course most of you on this blog are totally concerned with the name of who says something or does something rather than the merit of what was actually said or done. Honest and compassionate men the caliber of Mark Petterson and Ray Clayton are not to be believed or trusted, but drunks who show a greater love for booze than they do the safety of our kids are OK. The Bill Thomas's are to be accused of cheating on taxes and violating election law regardless of any evidence simply because he supports the city council. A man who publicly attacks another veteran's patriotism because of his demonstrated esteem for a certain President is elected to office to help govern the city. Hmmmmmm.

Good work Thomas. Your comments have been duly recorded and forwarded.
You will be sued.

Thomas, you are the same ole blow that you have been in the past. You are so self rightous but you still call people drunks, etc. You can't accept the fact that you lost the recall election by more than 60 percent of the vote. Where does the compassionate come in the picture with Clayton and Peterson ? The public said no to them,Peterson twice.We all know that you hate Youngs with a passion, and Youngs was not the only one that thought you put on a show by giving the BUSHIE a purple heart. He needed something like that for the mess that he made the 8 years he was in the White Mess. Hasn't said anything since he left but his mouth piece Cleney has done all the talking. Rant and rave all you want you won't change anyone's opinion. It may be a while before any of your backed candidates get back in office. You hurt their chances more than you do good. I , like Doubt It, am waiting for your trial date. Gotta see it first.

You will have to admit, it sounds fishy when one has 2 different homesteads on the tax rolls. Also sounds fishy when you state that one can choose on a whim which place to vote in when you have 2 houses. For some reason I thought that one has to choose a permanent address and that is where one would vote.

I am all for voter identification cards which equals one vote per person.

Maybe I am wrong?

I thought it sounded fishy when it first surfaced on this blog. He had lived in Copperas Cove more than one year when this was discovered. I always thought you had to vote in the County in which you reside but maybe there's an exception for him. Any thing that comes up it is always in favor of BT. Sounds like a lot of BS to me.

Thomas, I started reading these blogs long before I started posting a week or so ago.You are the one that has started all this talk. You bragged about suing the Leader Press. Talked big time about you City Council buddies. Gave the ex Mayor hell. Called Youngs a drunk. Talked about the wrongs of many of the bloggers BUT not one time have you been wrong in your posts (this is what your think) Everything that the different blogers have called your hand on, you started. There is no LOL ,the truth is that what most of them have said is probably true. You reap what you sow and your have sown a broad field.
