Well, apparently there were some MAJOR FIREWORKS down at City Hall today after a “lengthy executive session”!
As reported by the Lampasas Dispatch, City secretary Becky Sims was unceremoniously canned by unanimous decision in what I am assuming was a HUGE blindside to her. Also, the duty fell to brand-new council member Dorothy Persons. LOL. Talk about baptism by fire!
I have NEVER heard of a government worker at that level just get shitcanned so fast and furious in my life. Not to mention unanimously. Even that dipshit Gary Cox got to pretend he resigned five years ago when they showed him the door.
Never, ever in a trillion years did I ever think I’d see this. I even heard there was a police escort, though I cannot confirm that since I wasn’t there.
Normally, I’d have a few theories on this, but to be honest I am almost speechless. I can’t see Becky Sims embezzling or stealing or anything of that nature. I mean, what else could cause such a bolt of lightning out of nowhere to the head like that?
Well, I do have ONE theory. Of course, this is all conjecture. A conjecture as old as time: a good old-fashioned catfight.
Becky has been there quite a while – since at least 2020 in her current capacity. I got the impression she and Finley were quite tight. Like, she was Finley’s pet. Then Finley “retired” and the new chick came in.
My guess is Erin Corbell (rightfully) had to show she was boss right off the bat and let everyone know who was in charge. Sims, on the other hand, had been there probably 6 or 7 years, I think. Maybe she didn’t take kindly to the “new chick” bossing her around and thought “fuck her, I’ve been here longer than her, I know how things run.”
Then you inevitably end up with a catfight. Nobody can be more vicious in the workplace hierarchy than two females. Everyone knows that. Even most women will admit that working under a woman boss is total hell.
If my conjectures are true, then it’s gotta be ESPECIALLY galling to Sims because Corbell already declared she’s resigning! LOL. She’s a lame-duck City manager. So it would be an even bigger “fuck you” to fire Sims as an act of spite on her way out the door.
Then again, maybe Corbell had nothing to do with it and it was all City council. I have no idea. I’m just pulling a theory out of my ass.
Either way, there are probably a few very pissed off females who have an axe to grind. What better place to do it than on these very pages? Feel free to email lampasshole@protonmail.com with any dirt!
Wow – talk about disarray! City manager unexpectedly resigns after only a few months to be with her lover, Fred Flintstone. Mary Poche quit after only a month and blamed it on me. We STILL don’t have an Economic Development Director (and that’s a good thing!). Now they need to find a City secretary, not to mention the new clown job of “Recreation Director.” The Hostess House is a tornado of retardation as is the “Business Pork,” and I hear the City might need to go to court against S2M2 to deal with the Brodie Estates debacle that Misti Talbert created when she okayed $185,000 in tax dollars to be wasted on it! Oh, and the Fire Chief just resigned!
What a year 2025 is turning out to be!! I wonder what happens next? Here’s what NEEDS to happen next:
Mayor Herb needs to declare martial law in Lampasas, bring Van Berry and Rickie Roy out of retirement and give them total power over anything and everything and let them start kicking asses for a few months and clean house. It would be like Trump and Vance or Smith and Wesson. Actually it would be like that shitty Stallone movie where he gets thawed out and fights Wesley Snipes and everyone eats at Taco Bell.
We need to thaw out Berry and Roy and unleash them to restore order to the City and the power structure of this fine metropolis!!!
Order must be restored!!
