" What is going on back home? Unless there is some very strong supporting evidence to remove Chief Kowalski as Chief, Jason Gray needs to be taken to task and possibly removed from his position as City Mgr. Chief Kowalski is a good leader and has done an excellent job as Chief. Why did he remove the Chief and what is his supporting documentation. Jason Gray, man up, tell the council and public what you based your decision on. Your method of broadcasting via You Tube was piss poor judgement. I look forward to the day when we as tax payers fire your butt the same way. I will be glad to lead the effort when I return from Afghanistan very soon. "

" No one knows why wild horses stampede and they ain't talking. But it's time city leaders did. Why would esteemed McKinney city council members sanction the hiring of a man such as hire Jason D. Gray for city manager? It is conceivable they hired Gray (after the firing of Frank Ragan) because it's no secret nationwide among astute city managers that the longevity for a City Manager in McKinney lasts less time than the period of pre-pubescent and early adolescence. Nationwide, even those city managers reportedly scanning job boards, relevant social media and on-line publications for city manager positions arel loathe to consider applying to the City of McKinney. Therein may well be the answer as to why our esteemed city leaders settled on Jason D. Gray. One can only hope their greatest sin was failing to perform due diligence. Such can be forgiven. However, it will not be so easy to forgive it evidence reflects city leaders who indeed performed a background check on Jason D. Gray, discovering evidence of a man whose ethics and integrity are glaringly lacking. If city leaders performed due diligence as is expected by the taxpayers who elected them and entrusting our city to a man who long owed a significant and indisputable debt-one he simply refused to pay, such is cause for investigation because If public record is to be believed, the current city manager, Jason D. Gray was a deadbeat. Long before sauntering into the city of McKinney, Jason D. Gray chose to stiff a nationally recognized, respected lender. Not for just a brief period did McKinney's current city manager ignore a debt clearly owed, Jason Gray stiffed the lender for years on end. Beyond simply entrusting the city's future to a deadbeat, city leaders have dealt McKinney a devastating blow in the search for a qualified, ethical candidate in the near future. It is embarrassing enough the Jason D. Gray humiliated the city last Friday with a narcissistically driven youtube video, one reflective of cloying ambition, a cinematic feat apparently designed to establish himself as a dictator in the City of McKinney's dictator, he made it clear he is accountable to no one--even the city leaders who hired him.. At best, such is evidence of a rookie at the helm of the "second best place to live in America." At worse, Gray's self-orchestrated grab for national recognition in the bizarre youtube video evidences a man narcissistic enough to believe he is untouchable. "

" McKSoldier: Gray will tell the masses it had to do with the chiropracter. In truth he's using Kowalski to pay collateral in the Hanks Texas Grill case. What Gray doesn't know is that he is falling for a trick old as dirt. "

" continued: At best,Gray's duping of city leasers is evidence of a rookie at the helm of the "second best place to live in America." At worse, his self-orchestrated grab for national recognition in the bizarre youtube video evidences a man narcissistic enough to believe hApparently Gray has suffered the illusion for a long time. It wasn't newly discovered evidence , the suggestion that Jason D. Gray is not only media hungry, until recently, he was a deadbeat. According to reports, Gray would still be a deadbeat were it not for the same city leaders who allegedly bailed him out. It appears Jason D. Gray had no qualms about ignoring a significant debt until February 2012 when a writ of execution summoned a visit from a Collin County Constable in reference to debt owed since June 2001. But the story doesn't end there. Even then, Jason Gray refused to pay. Credible sources report his claiming "he just didn't have the money." Apparently that was his also his excuse for failing to move to the city that he was hired to manage. Reportedly too, city leaders ultimately amended the contract he signed, allowing him more time to get his finances in order. So while it is forgivable that city leaders may have inadvertently dropped the ball, hiring a known credit risk--a red flag to any respectable entity, it might even be forgivable, allowing him more time to sell his house and move to McKinney. But to give Jason D. Gray a "raise" or "help with moving expenses" in the near identical dollar amount of the debt he owed is suspect. But the final straw was Jason Gray's single-handed decision to oust the highly respected, beloved Chief of Police, Doug Kowalski and surreptitiously replacing him with his closest crony, Joe Williams in the hope of duping both taxpayers and city leaders into believing it was for the good of the city. To trust Jason D. Gray, a man who documents evidences a history of failing to honor a sizeable financial obligation is not a man worthy of managing the "second best place to live in America." "

" Let us only hope that the city council takes note of these postings before next weeks meeting. While checking on agendas for upcoming meetings was very interested to find an executive session, scheduled for last night Monday Oct. 8th. It was put on the schedule, coincidentally, Friday, Oct.5th. Needless to say this egregious action taken by the city manager was on there. Just behind Hanks.
Thanks for your service McKSoldier "

" As a former resident of McKinney, I can't speak to the police chief per se but had a dealing with other members--including both a lieutenant and a captain--of McKiinney's 'finest' in a traffic accident after being broad-sided by a truck that ran a red light. My limited dealings did NOT suggest that integrity reined in the department but rather that justice is 'granted' to the highest bidder. And, McKinney's finest was then beyond insulting when a tax paying resident of a lot of $$ questioned their decision that I was at fault in the incident that 'scraped' my car. Broad-sided by a truck running a red light and I was listed at fault. Shaking my head but chose to vote with my feet and move to a city where police department served the people. "
