Too much on him. I hope he gets well too soon; and furthermore does the right thing by resigning. But again, he told me, Texans don't lay down. They either fall down or get knocked down, and if they fall down or get knocked down, they get up.

melton was back on the job several days after major heart surgery. He was also walking and swimming, according to his self-report and film footage from WLBT. If this procedure is so "minor," why does he need so much time to "recuperate"? Just asking.

Melton, IMO, is more concerned about protecting his retirement benefits by delaying this trial until his term os over. If he completes his four years, he will recieve half of his salary for the rest of his life even if he is found guilty. I predict even more health related issues to stretch this out until past May.

I wish nothing bad to anyone that is sick but alot of Melton's illnesses are a results of the way he treated people. Melton, is now going through the same problems he has put other people through!!! If Melton wants to heal then he needs to tell the truth and correct the wrongs he has done and the wrongs he allowed to be done to the people that once supported to him. Melton will be judge on earth and also by God!!! Melton it's time to repent and ask for forgiveness. You already got one foot in the grave and your other foot in route to jail. It's time to clear the air!!!!! Please get well in time for your Court day!!
