Porkchop Kuehne put on a display of retardation last night that was SO profound, it can only be explained by a scoop of feces between her ears.
One of last night’s MANY huge projects being discussed was the pavilion at Campbell Park. The original estimate last year for this pavilion was $200,000. By August of this year, the estimate had actually DROPPED to $150,000. This is unheard of in Lampasas City government – as you can see from the giant increases in the other projects:
Earlier this week, we got a look at the innards of this pavilion project and learned that Janet “Crazier” Crozier is demanding the City blow $10,200 on two 5,000-gallon tanks to store rain from the pavilion roof for her “community garden” nearby – despite the fact she is ALREADY hooked into City water and gets 5,000 gallons per month for FREE. The total cost of this project for last night’s vote was pegged at $175,885 – which includes $10,200 to be wasted on two water tanks.
Right before the vote, Zac Morris made a second valiant effort to rethink that $10,200 for water tanks. He suggested maybe there was better use for that money, since Crazier Crozier ALREADY has plenty of water there at nearly zero cost.
That’s when Porkchop made her move and forever captured the title of Extreme Queen Moron.
Porkchop noted that just a couple months ago, the estimate was $200,000 and that NOW it was “only” $175,885. Not wanting the City to actually save a single fucking penny, god forbid, she actually MADE A MOTION to INCREASE that number BACK TO $200,000.
No, I am not kidding.
There was no reasoning for it. No suggestion about what to spend it on. Just “spend more”. Literally.
So instead of looking at that $175,885 and thinking “shit, that’s $26,000 more than the original cost from a year ago” she instead said to herself “hey! That is a $24,000 savings off the estimates from two months ago! We need to spend all that shit IMMEDIATELY. On something! Anything!”
Truly mind-boggling. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years of watching moron politicians waste public money.
Of course, nobody made a single peep about the $10,200 being wasted on two unneeded water tanks. Nobody asked about the further costs that will be incurred making those tanks useful with a pump, trenching, pipes, electricity, etc. They just dutifully voted unanimously to blow $200,000 and find something to spend it on. So not only did they NOT eliminate $10,200 in unneeded and wasteful spending on a lunatic’s pet project, they actually tacked on ANOTHER $24,000 just for the hell of it.
