The LEDC was very busy yesterday morning re-posting what 10 other pages have ALREADY reposted….
This is a lot of what the Economic Development Director does: duplicates efforts and makes posts that are already more visible elsewhere. It makes her look busy and justifies her $119,000 cost to the taxpayer. We already have a TON of other places where news gets out faster. Such as:
The City website, the City Facebook page, the City TWITTER page (yes we have one), the Chamber of Commerce website, the Chamber of Commerce Facebook page, Lampasas County Breaking News Facebook page (they have 22,000 subscribers!), the Mayor’s Facebook page (Misti had this back in Feb 2021 during the storm – TJ Monroe can’t be bothered), Lampasas ISD Facebook page, Lampasas ISD website, Lampasas Dispatch Record website, Lampasas Radio Facebook page, local TV and the LEDC Facebook page AND website!!
Instead of reposting news everyone already knows about, perhaps Stacey Ybarra or LEDC Prez Misti Talbert could answer the question I have been asking for over a month now: What is the name of the company that “won” a project from the LEDC and what are the details of this project? Including jobs created and capital investments made?
“Announcement/Project wins: 1” – what are the details???
Also, in light of recent water supply humiliations, HOW MUCH WATER ARE THESE NEW INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS GOING TO BE USING? DID YOU CUT THEM ANY DEALS FOR CHEAP WATER? ARE THEY AWARE OF THE RISK THAT THEIR WATER MIGHT RUN OUT ONE FINE AUGUST MORNING?
Are you going to give some company a “free” $500,000 worth of land and let them pull 30,000 gallons of water per day out of the system? How’s that going to work, exactly? We’d love to know, if you aren’t too busy re-posting news from yesterday morning.
