In his announcement, Corley cited \u201can outpouring of encouragement from supporters\u201d across the region. However, some voters aren\u2019t buying it. On the post by KCBD NewsChannel 11\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> that shared Corley\u2019s news, almost all comments were decidedly critical:<\/p>\n The negative comments continued, as you can see below:<\/p>\n Why Some Lubbock Voters Are Wary<\/p>\n Corley\u2019s history as a county commissioner gives him recognition in Lubbock, but that same tenure is fueling criticism. Some Lubbock observers point to past controversies during budget hearings and internal disagreements in county government, arguing that his leadership style has at times been combative rather than collaborative.

\u201cWait a minute, didn\u2019t he throw a man-baby tantrum at a commissioner meeting, and now he wants to embarrass us on a bigger platform? No thanks.\u201d
\u201cBig no!\u201d
\u201cHe heard that the House will shut down for months to avoid votes they would rather avoid and he knew it was the place to be.\u201d
\u201cHe couldn\u2019t show up to vote because the vote wasn\u2019t going to go his way. Is he joining the other side of the ticket this time?\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t see a single person on this thread supporting that idea\u2026 I wonder what he considers an \u2018outpouring of supporters\u2019\u2014his mom?\u201d
\u201cIs this the guy who couldn\u2019t control himself nor his emotions during that commissioners meeting?\u201d<\/p>\n
