So the LEDC requested a study on the economic impact of their secret Business Park prospect (very likely Eco-Strong or Eco-Flex – depending on how they have structured themselves after the last fiasco).
They must have done this a while ago because the study is apparently complete. They went back to Impact Data Source. Remember them?
November 2020: City REFUSES Transparency on LEDC Economic Impact Study Paid For With City Funds
They are essentially a company that takes City money and then goal-seeks an outcome, in my opinion. A rubber stamp. I have requested a copy of this “impact study” to see what ludicrous assumptions it makes. I can all but guarantee you that JC Brown will deny me this information and it will ONCE AGAIN be up to the Texas Attorney General to decide if I get it.
What was all that crap Talbert blabbered about “transparency” before? Oh yeah…
“I feel like (City) staff and Council oughta be tasked with being accountable to answer on the spot…and…uh…I would be comfortable doing that….that’s transparency at its finest…is…you know…we don’t put off a question, we answer it on the spot” – current LEDC President Misti Talbert as mayor in 2020
Sure you do!
Reminder: the LAST time around, Eco-Flex Alan Champagne told two massive lies. One about when his fake press release was written and another about not using any government funds:
“The press release was issued late February, I don’t feel I have to explain myself. With the boarder closure which was supposed to be temporary and now will probably be closed to the end of this year. This is a private company which is not using any government funds or such.”
He then asked for $1.850 MILLION from the City of Lampasas.
He was denied, of course. I wonder what they’ll get THIS time around!
