Remember last September when there was a giant kerfuffle about the useless LEDC members reappointing themselves so they could continue spinning their wheels and wasting money?
City Council Should Remove Power-Hungry, Inbred LEDC Members Monroe and Talbert.
Monroe, Talbert and Erwin ALL Want Back On LEDC Board. City Council Needs To Get Rid Of Two Of Them
Big Decision Tonight: Will Council Jettison Talbert or Monroe From The LEDC?
The nepo babies and cronies argued that, basically, “we have all been on here a long time and we still have work to do. We can’t change horses in mid-stream” and Talbert all but SWORE that there was an unnamed (as always) company ABOUT TO SIGN and become the first Business Park tenant after 20 years of failure.
Well….here we are! ANOTHER year gone and wasted and ZERO tenants in the Business Park. In fact, according to The Dispatch, the EDC is more dysfunctional than ever. Apparently Sid Ball, Steve Hudson and Roland Schaub quit the board in a huff – which meant they didn’t have a quorum.
I had heard rumors last week that Talbert HERSELF resigned “in protest” but I can’t confirm that. Talbert crawling off into the weeds and NEVER being involved in any decision making for Lampasas again for the rest of her life would be the best outcome we can hope for, honestly.
Another good piece of news is that the City is no longer responsible for paying the bloated salary of any future Economic Development Director. This makes sense, since the EDC skims and wastes about $500,000 in tax dollars per year and can easily afford to pay some mushy-headed dunce to do nothing for a year and then quit.
