On another note, isn't Montgomery County Commissioner the one who yanked Ironman Texas' permit at the last minute
Kinda sorta. From my recollection it wasn't so much a yanking of the permit (because it hadn't yet been issued for that year) but rather a statement that he would not approve the course going through his precinct. Nor was it last minute - mid February, I think).
Btw, the commissioner that did this has been under ethics investigations multiple times. He also represents an area of the county that likely saw very little, if any, financial benefit from the race, yet had significant road closure/traffic issues as the course went through two highly congested intersections.
