The Word Overheard around town is that newly-hired Economic Development Director Mary Poche may already be on her way out the door – making her tenure a record-breaking 30 days long.
Besides having health problems, she probably walked in on Misti Talbert trying to explain how the whole Business Park thing was going to work and got scared off…..
That is a far cry from what we heard six months ago when this debacle was approved. The groundbreaking ceremony was back on June 26th of this year. The notice to proceed (NTP) was scheduled for July 1st“with a contracted time for substantial completion by 180 days.” [see page 113 City council packet]
By my math, that would mean around the first two weeks in January of 2025 – or about a month from now.
Originally, the whole idea was to have this thing done in time for the spring. You know, so they can rent it out for weddings, parties, etc.
But with this new date in August, they are going to miss ANOTHER eight months of the year – in addition to all the time THIS year it has been closed.
Of course, even if they rent it out all year round, they themselves admit they will only make about $12,000 to $15,000 per year on the deal. Which gives us a payback period of ($2.27mm/$15,000) approximately 151 years.
I think by that time, Erin Corbel will be about the same age as TJ Monroe.
Sometimes you have to laugh when someone gets their worldview EXACTLY opposite from reality. It happens non-stop with socialist Comrade Clayton (Covid, wind power, masks, etc) which is one of the reasons he still lives with his mom, but this one has to be a new winner:
This is funny because Comrade Clayton REALLY DOES believe in a bearded man who can provide “free” stuff to everyone! “Free” healthcare, “free” college education, “free” everything!
Karl Marx – the original bum who sponged off his parents.
You know who DOES believe in Trump? Millions of small business owners. People who are the engine of the American economy. I’m talking about REAL small business owners – not fake ‘ranchers’ who live with mom….
If 34-year-old Clayton Tucker had ever actually owned or ran a small business (or even WORKED for one!) in his life, he’d understand this. He’d understand how DESTRUCTIVE Obama and Biden have been between the regulations and taxes and other bullshit:
But he cant know, because he is a child who pretends to ranch. If he kills a bunch of goats, he asks mom for more. No worries. He heads out to grandpa’s property a couple times a week and takes pictures with the goats for old ladies. So he has no clue how the real world works.
REAL WORLD:
Real rancher gets up early, travels to markets, has a website to sell product, makes money and thanks their loyal customers:
PRETEND WORLD
Pretend ranchers sleep til 9:30am then spend all day yesterday (a PERFECT DAY to be outside working) begging for fake friends on Bluesky, which seems to really attract pedophiles for some reason…
Takei: homo who was accused of drugging and groping a 23-year-old man.
If there was ONE thing you’d think the shitlibs could agree with us on, it would be that children as young as 2 or 3 or 5 years old cannot POSSIBLY understand what transgenders are and shouldn’t even hear that fucking word or anything about it. That little kids and toddlers should NEVER be mutilated by their own parents. But you’d be wrong….
As you can see, the group of despicable clowns known as “Mothers Against Greg Abbott” think that Dustin Burrows (who is otherwise a moron but correct on this) is “attacking LGBTQ Texans” by coming out STRENUOUSLY against the insanity of 2-year-olds having their genitals mutilated and castrated by insane parents (usually the mother).
Lampasas Democrat Party Chairman Clayton Tucker, who is a self-described socialist, has reposted that sentiment and obviously agrees with it. It’s not the first time he has enthusiastically supported this disgusting shit either:
Utterly nauseating. Luckily, Comrade Clayton will never reproduce and subject his kid to shit like this. Which is a plus for society.
If you want to see something completely repulsive, do a search for “Chase Strangio” and prepare to lose your lunch when you see she is literally a circus freak: a bearded lady with a woman’s voice pretending to be a man. Absolutely stomach-turning.
Clayton Tucker is probably aroused by chicks who look like men with full beards, right buddy??
Well, that Clayton Tucker bingo card was so much fun, I decided to do another. And since the front page of today’s Dispatch has her Potato Head splattered all over it frightening readers, I decided to do one for California/Oregon/Austin transplant and far-left radical Stephanie Fitzharris.
Long-time readers will get the references for every single one of these squares!
“Somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive….” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats…”
It was “just a stutter” though, right Potato Head??
Socialist birth defect Clayton Tucker is now 100% all-in on “breaking up Big Ag” now that he is a full time fake rancher and planning to get his ass kicked running for Texas Ag Commissioner in 2026.
But it wasn’t too long ago (BEFORE he invented the fake rancher persona) that he was just a regular run-of-the-mill trust fund dork and limo liberal socialist who demanded socialized medicine as his “number one issue.” Here is a questionnaire from just a few years ago when he ran against (and got his ass whipped by) Dawn Buckingham:
[Notice there is also no mention of being a rancher. He admitted here that he was an agitator for a communist front group called Our Revolution Texas (which is now defunct)]
So his number one issue is socialized medicine and his number two issue is destroying the economy by going 100% unreliable “renewable” energy like pinwheels and solar panels, which don’t work at night. His THIRD issue is “end the school-to-prison pipeline” – I don’t even know what that means, but I don’t see “break up Big Ag” anywhere on the list.
Brilliant!
Here is yet ANOTHER blurb where he gives us a chance to tell us how important “breaking up Big Ag” is to the world. Again, he fails to mention it, because he has not adopted the fake rancher persona yet. He instead is more concerned about ridiculous niche issues like “combatting maternal mortality” and ridiculously broad and impossible shit like “ending childhood hunger,” lol.
What an utter retard.
So the guy who can’t make a living for himself and still lives with mom thought he was going to end childhood hunger. The guy who can’t get a chick to talk to him and will never have a wife or a kid wants to “combat maternal mortality and suicide epidemics.”
BAHAHAHA!! Why not add “build a rocket and fly to the moon” as well, you scrote. That is probably more likely to happen than any of your other nonsense.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that former EDD Stacey Ybarra was making some wild claims on her LinkedIn profile. One of them was that she herself concocted “over eight” economic impact reports for “potential business prospects” while she was here sucking on the public tit to the tune of over $100,000 in salary and benefits.
Of course, she’s long gone now and the Business Pork is still completely empty – despite her making it her “number one job” to find a tenant. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to point a finger to a single accomplishment by her during her 18 month stint which cost the taxpayers around a quarter-million in expenses!
I figured since she was long gone and had accomplished nothing, it was safe to ask for those “over eight” economic impact studies she supposedly created. I figured wrong!
As usual, the city’s overpaid, hack attorney JC Brown went running to the Texas AG with her usual line: “the City is of the opinion that the requested information is exempted from disclosure by a statutory exemption set forth in Chapter 552″
The LEDC is a gigantic circus run by head clown Misti Talbert. Talbert used to TALK a lot about “transparency” when she was mayor, but that’s all it was: talk. The truth is, it serves their purposes to keep everything hidden away from prying eyes, because otherwise people might be shocked at just how incompetent they really are.
Oh well. Eventually they WILL get a business in the Business Pork. It will be a horrible deal and the wages will be no better than anyplace else in town, but it will happen. THEN, after the “deal is done” and the prospect moves in, they will no longer be able to make their claims of secrecy because of “negotiations” – they will HAVE to let the taxpayers look at the deal they struck…and it will be glorious. I plan on roasting them for weeks when that happens.
Reminder: as usual, the LEDC will skip their monthly December meeting on the 18th because “holidays” – which means the year 2024 will come to a close without any tenants in the $7.4 million Business Pork. However, you WILL notice they are currently in the process of putting up two entrance signs (cost: $37,000) to mark the wildly overpriced goat pasture.
