City Has New Disaster On Their Hands: Retarded “Wayfinding” Signage Project Bids Come In At TRIPLE Original Estimates. Half a Million Dollars For Street Signs?!

Once again, the City is bamboozled, bullshitted and lied to by an overpriced consultant who ends up being wildly wrong about costs when the bidding rolls around. We’ve seen this MANY times: Old City Hall remodel, the mountain bike park, Business Pork project, skate park, Hostess House, etc.

Of course, there are never any repercussions or even stern words for the offending “experts” that the City handed tens of thousands of dollars to. Instead, the city just bends over and takes another couple hundred grand of pipe up their ass and says “thank you sir! May I have another??”

Want to hear the latest?? Here it is!

Back in May of 2022,the City was drowning in “Covid” money and couldn’t dream up useless, wildly overpriced projects fast enough. Skate park, Hostess House ‘facelift,’ this Wayfinding signage project: ALL of them were birthed around 2022. We also had an extremely weak and quasi-retarded group of people running City council at that time: TJ Monroe as mayor, Bob Goodart, Kuehne, Williamson, etc.

When you throw piles of ‘free’ money at chimpanzees, it’s inevitable you end up with multiple abortions as a result. The Wayfinding Signage idea is just such an abortion.

This was the general idea [see page 29-40]:

Yeah…looks like a half million of value to me!

They wanted to “create an interpretive wayfinding signage program for downtown that is integrated with other City signage.”

Naturally, they showed an example of their idea: from the City of Arlington Texas! A city with a population roughly 60 times larger than Lampasas. Makes total sense!

By October of 2022,the geniuses running the City (Finley, Sims and ‘staff’) made the recommendation to go with Studio 16:19, a Round Rock company [see page 65]. Other bidders for this project included Design Workshop (Austin, TX), KMA Design (Carnegie PA), FSG (Austin, TX), and Mijksenaar (New York, NY). They had plenty of interest in this project. Competition that SHOULD have produced a good price and quality work.

Yes, that is $60,000 to sit around and design signs. You’d ALSO think that price would include accurate estimates of the COST of the final signage product. But you’d be very wrong, as you’ll see by what happened next.

The Dispatch Even had a big article on it!

City Moves Forward With Wayfinding Plan [10/14/22]

The company quoted a rough estimate of $59,000, which would not include the price of the signs.

Councilwoman Catherine Kuehne asked if the price seemed reasonable compared to that of other businesses and what the city might expect for the fee.

“Those that did provide a cost were very similar in cost,” Sims said. Sims said the fee included “analysis, schematic designs, development and programming, documentation of the bid process and construction,” as well as administration and oversight of the construction project. She added that some communities spend between $1 million and $2 million for a Wayfinding Master Plan”

Fast forward to July of 2024: the wizards at Stupido 16:19 declared this project would cost about $170,000 based on similar projects. This amount of money for signs is ludicrous all by itself, if you ask me. Remember: Stupido 16:19 is going to also pocket $60,000 for their “expertise.”

The bids came in and guess what? The project will cost either $455,000 or $575,000 depending on which of the two bids are accepted [see page 15].

WHOOPS! Now where have we seen that kind of wildly wrong estimating before?

Oh yeah….

City To Seriously Consider Blowing $2,212,950 On Hostess House “Rehab.” Over TEN TIMES Original Estimates!

So now it’s “back to the drawing board” once again…just like the Hostess House debacle. They will “redefine scope,” etc, etc and then come back and tell us it will “only” cost $350,000 and that we are getting a bargain – despite the fact that is STILL DOUBLE the original cost estimate. See how that works?

Lefty Freak Dresses Up Like Cow and Actually Eats Grass

Here is a Camel Toe voter for you: dresses up like a cow, complete with fake udders and crawls around eating grass. If Clayton Tucker ever had a kid, this would be him. Here is another one of your “white dudes for Harris!”

Clayton Tucker Is Ballz To The Walz

Looks like love at first sight! Comrade Clayton ALREADY loved Tim because he thinks they’re both “teachers,” both “in Ag” and both rabid Marxists bent on destroying America. They also both spent time in China and admire the Chinese way of doing things.

But wait! Turns out they have even MORE in common!

Now comes the news that Walz lied about being in combat…much the way Clayton Tucker has lied about being a cowboy, a farmer, a rancher and a fifth-generation beef producer. There are also increasing rumors that Tim may be, ahem, less than 100% heterosexual. So they have THAT in common too!

Comrade Clayton loves Tim SO much, that he’s buying some Tim Walz swag….

“I normally don’t buy political clothing,” says the compulsive liar. Well, except for those two years he wore nothing but Bernie Sanders “Our Revolution” t-shirts when he belonged to a communist offshoot organization that is now defunct….

But besides THOSE 300 times, he never does it! LOL.

Comrade Clayton is also laboring under the delusion that Tim Walz is some kind of genius and thinks he’ll mop the floor with JD Vance.

Not sure where he gets that idea, but these are the same morons who thought Biden was going to mop the floor with Trump six weeks ago…right up until that same debate ended Biden’s entire campaign, political career and any shred of dignity he had left. Expect Vance to do the same to Tim Walz.

OH – Tim also hates free speech. Radical leftist indeed!

Local Rancher Selling Beef At Local Farmers Market On Town Square.

No, not THIS fake rancher asswipe!

Fake rancher and real communist Clayton Tucker demands free shit while standing on a street corner. That makes him a panhandler.

He’s still “working on a website” to sell his meat even after five generations of Tuckers! Funny how he’s able to quickly throw up a website for a money-begging, non-profit grifting scheme like his recent Farm & Food Action PAC with fellow grifter Kristi Lara.

But when it comes to ACTUAL work or business, he’s gotten nothing accomplished for the last EIGHT MONTHS!

Sad. I guess he’s still WAY too busy wasting time at unpaid conventions like these….

He’s also wasting a lot of time being a “White Dude For Harris! on social media….

No, I’m talking about REAL ranchers with REAL products – Bison Cove Ranch! And they’ll be selling their products just TWO BLOCKS from Clayton Tucker’s mom’s house, where Clayton lives in the upstairs bedroom. Talk about moving in on your home turf!

I love it! While fake rancher Clayton Tucker has been yammering about being a rancher and “currently building a website” for the last eight months (while also killing a lot of goats by accident) this REAL ranch just drives right up and plants their flag in Clayton’s mom’s driveway, basically! BAHAHAHAHA. Hilarious. What a tool.

But yeah, it’s “Big Ag” and global warming that is making things impossible for his “family ranch,” NOT his complete lack of effort.

[That would be the same driveway that was sporting a foreign flag for quite a while in 2022….]

Complete Commie Loser Cori Bush Loses Her Mind After Being Crushed In Primary.

What a shame. No more grifting for you. The best part? She only served one term and is therefore ineligible for a Congressional pension.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Black women think they’re sacred and can’t be criticized. This is the result.

Commie tears are the best tears. What an unhinged moron. I love it.

Thank you God for all the blessings!! My cup runneth over.

Tim Walz Stolen Valor Story Not Going Away.

This is Sgt Kyle Miller of the Minnesota National Guard

Hometown: Willmar, MN

He was 19 years old and a soldier in Tim Walz’ unit He was killed by an IED on the deployment Tim Walz abandoned.

Democrats walk a tightrope. They have to let their demonic base know they intend to burn down America without letting older/union Democrats in on that plan. That’s why they love military mascots like Walz. It’s a balancing act for them.

The Walz stolen valor thing might really become a huge problem for Democrats. It’s not going away and Democrats already face questions about their patriotism. If he goes from being a military man to a dirty coward in the eyes of the public, their patriotism problem gets worse.

Of course, to pussies like Clayton Tucker, it only makes him all the more appealing.

Bloomberg has now stealth-edited the claim that Tim Walz served in Iraq.

The claim was originally made by the same reporter (Joshua Green) in 2004 while doing a profile of Walz. The press are literally scrubbing the records to try to stop this scandal. They won’t succeed.

Olympic Medal Check

It’s been a few days. Let’s check in and see who is the greatest in the world and who is a joke….

Germany up to 8 golds! How cute. They are going to make me sweat my “under 10.5 golds” bet, I see. We must be to the part of the Olympics where they are doing all the joke “sports” like racewalking or synchronized swimming. The stuff we laugh at and don’t bother training athletes for. The stuff Germany might have a shot at a gold medal in.

No matter. We are still dominating all other countries…even China, which has like 1.4 billion ping pong players to choose from.

Poor Germany – way down there with the other fake countries like Canada. Is Germany even in the G7? They shouldn’t be.

Meanwhile, the old bat who loves Germany so much that she decided to live in the United States (in TEXAS, no less!) is busy licking the shriveled ball sack of Minnesota socialist Tim-pon Walz.

Oh yes! Such an “All-America guy”!

Veteran: well, it turns out that old Tim has been bragging about being in combat. He recently said: “We shouldn’t allowweapons that I used in warto be on the American streets.” The problem is, he has never actually been in combat. We Americans have a name for that, Fräulein. It’s called “stolen valor” and it’s a very big no-no.

Former teacher: he sure did a bang-up job! Minneapolis spends about $20,000 PER STUDENT. The results? Only 17% of middle-schoolers are proficient in mathematics and 27% proficient in reading. But yeah, let’s throw more money at the teachers unions!

Faculty advisor for some homo club? Don’t care.

Took money from people who earned it and handed out “free” lunches to everyone? Not his money and every state does that bullshit. I’ll bet his next step is to hand them free Nikes.

Fun fact: Minnesota is one of the few states that taxes you when you die! Yup. Also, Minnesota is right up there with NY, CA, IL and CT when it comes to soaking their citizens with taxes.

July Sales Tax Numbers Out: Lampasas DOWN 1.18% YoY. Texas Also Down Small.

More indications the economy is stalling and slipping.

Remember, sales tax numbers are NOT adjusted for inflation. So if TRUE inflation is 5% per year and sales tax receipts were STILL down 1%, that means, ceterus paribus, the amount of “stuff” sold dropped more like 6%. I’m guessing there are a few more people living here too (population increase), so the actual number is even slightly worse.

Texas as a state was negative again (two months straight!) at minus 0.18%

Lampasas fared slightly worse that the state as a whole at minus 1.18%. Lampasas now flat on the year for sales tax receipts.

Other cities we follow:

Austin: crushed atDOWN 6.46%! (no surprise, the liberal shit hole run by commies continues to bleed)

Burnet: slightlyUP at +1.41%

Dallas: shooting higherat UP 5.13%

Marble Falls: slightlyDOWN at -1.59%

Kamala Harris Thinks “The Cloud” In Computing Literally Exists Above Us In The Clouds. Seriously.

I thought this had to be a joke but sadly, it is true. Yet another example of a babbling, idiotic, clueless Kamabla Harris. A true dummy bimbo who sucked her way to the top. You MUST play this and listen. THIS is the “boss girl” that libshits are all excited about.

(Why does she always sound drunk?)

As any person knows, the data is stored in electronic binary form in a PHYSICAL server in a data center somewhere. What a complete buffoon.

Add this to her other ridiculous word salads (inflation and diplomacy). There will be plenty more coming!
