Anyone who tells you they look forward to each election cycle and the Frisco Chamber Forum is either lying, blind or deaf!  Each year we watch it live, hoping it will be an independent, and we are always disappointed, and this week was no different!

If you watched the Frisco Chamber Candidate Forum this week, then you saw Tammy Meinershagen’s opening statement.   In case you missed it, Meinershagen said, “This re-election has been the hardest thing I have done in my entire life.  I am very grateful for the love and support of my husband, 3 daughters, my friends, my supporters who have walked in this journey with me, and I am thankful for many of you who have had open, honest, and healing conversations.

There is more that unites us than divides us.  But what is happening in Frisco is not okay.  This is not our Frisco.  Doing secret recordings, having multiple fake profiles, anonymous blogs, attacking family members, this is not right.  And despite being attacked, and my family being attacked, I’m still here.  I’m here to fight.  Fight against the dirty tactics, fight for Frisco, and I believe all of us need to come together and refuse to accept this as the new normal of choosing our Frisco leadership.  We need to choose better.  I believe that tonight you’re going to hear more empty promises, performative politics, and sound bites. 

I’m here to talk about my record and what I’ve actually done for the citizens of Frisco and for our city through my time here.  I look forward to earning your vote and sharing more about my time here in Frisco.”

While Tammy stands proudly and proclaims she is here to fight against dirty tactics and this being the new norm of Frisco, behind the scenes her supporters are doing exactly that!  Don’t let Toxic Tammy fool you, she is holding up to her statement that she is here to fight!  Fight for her control to govern by using her own supporters or any means necessary including committing dirty acts she talked about in her opening statement, all while acting coy and innocent, “oh poor me the victim.”   

Incoming!  Meet the Political Porch Pirate!  

Like political cloak-and-dagger a mysterious car drives slowly through a neighborhood on the hunt for a specific political porch.  The car has arrived at its destination, then parks at the house next door.  A mysterious man walks up the front steps of the home and begins to approach the front porch.  The Ring Doorbell shows him laying down an envelope, then he quickly turns to leave ascending down the front steps.  Who was the mystery man?  What did he drop off?  What could be in that envelope?  Is this the only home that received that envelope? 

Guess what, we know!  SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS

Who is the mystery man delivering envelopes all over town?  We had several people send us Ring Doorbell footage and security camera footage and after careful examination ….

Meet Brian Thomson, a resident here in Frisco who worked the polls every day for Tammy Meinershagen at Frisco Fire Station 7.  Brian is a long time Tammy supporter and according to Been Verified has an asset listed similar to the car in the video.

“Political Poison Pages: Unpacking the False Burt Binder”

What is in the envelope?    We call it the Burt Binder, by that we mean a hit piece against Burt Thakur!  The first page talks about how Burt defies the TX GOP Platform with public union support.  A COMPLETE LIE!  Tammy’s team is crumbling due to the Frisco Firefighters Association and Frisco Police Officers Association endorsing Burt Thakur and Jared Elad.  The only way to counter that is to use scary words like “union supporter” in a last-ditch effort to scare them before early voting.  At no time has Burt said he supports unions, but he has said he supports our public safety departments.  He believes that through conversation and getting back to the table and addressing the primary issue of staffing would alleviate many of the problems.  Keep in mind both departments have done “staffing studies” that we have published right here on Frisco Chronicles that at the time showed The City of Frisco was below standards in both departments.  These men and woman put their life on the line to save us, our homes, our pets, and they are not asking for a raise.  They are asking for more staffing!  Burt has said he supports more staffing so that we can be where we need to be to keep citizens safe and our police and fire fighters safe.  How is that supporting “unions?”    

Next the front page of this binder lists a political action committee that we are not listing here because we have been able to find ANY LEGAL FILINGS FOR THIS PAC.   For now, we have to believe this is a FAKE PAC and question if this group is even legit?  The binder has a certain look to it that we have seen before, and we have a pretty good guess of who designed it!  One of Tammy’s greatest supporters!  We won’t say their name because we are not 100% sure but we are 99.99999% sure. 

The second page talks about how Burt ran for Congress.  Okay, and?  John Keating ran for the Texas House of Representatives in 2015.  That’s right, he ran for District 33 in 2016 which covers Rockwall County and parts of Collin County.  At the time he ran he touted how he was proud to establish the $5Billion Dollar Mile – what happened with that, oh yeah Lake Lebanon was born after the developer went belly up.  Guess what, Keating lost by 99 votes!  So, if Tammy and her supporters are saying Burt is not qualified because he ran for Congress then how is John Keating qualified?  He was endorsed in his 2016 bid for District 33 by every major REPUBLICAN and still lost by 99 votes.  If you have all the support and still can’t win, should you be qualified to be sitting on city council? 

The false binder then discusses how Burt auditioned for a TV or was on Jeopardy. Being an actor, appearing on a game show, or having an IMDb page makes you inept and not qualified to run for office?  Hey Matthew McConaughey – you can’t run for Texas Governor!  Hey Dr. Mehmet Oz, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Al Franken, and Donald Trump – according to Tammy supporters and this FAKE PAC you are all inept and unqualified to run for government offices. 

The next page says Burt’s campaign manager is a Hard Democrat and we reached out to him, and he said he is his own campaign manager.  He has many supporters on both sides of the isle (Tammy said that too at the Forum this week) and he appreciates all their help to win so he can serve the people of Frisco.  Let me understand, it is okay for Tammy who claims to be a Republican, to be supported by HARD…HARD DEMOCRATS, and that is, okay?  It is also okay Meinershagen to pander to the Republican Base that she is a conservative and yet not one conservative candidate or group has come out to endorse her.

Campaign of Harassment

In what can only be described as a masterclass in political desperation, supporters of Tammy “Toxic Tapes” Meinershagen have gone beyond spirited campaigning and crossed the line into something far more disturbing — a coordinated, relentless campaign of harassment and intimidation against her opponent, Burt Thakur. It started with whisper campaigns and online trolling but quickly escalated into full-blown digital and real-world stalking. Facebook pages, comment sections, and community groups have been littered with copy-paste attacks, baseless accusations, and character assassinations aimed at discrediting Thakur. 

But it didn’t stop there. Someone—clearly with too much toner and not enough integrity—dropped off phony binders filled with lies and distortions at private homes of Thakur supporters.  A juvenile stunt meant to mirror past political smear tactics. These “binders” had all the hallmarks of a hit job: half-truths, wild speculation, and outright fabrications.  And as Election Day draws near, things will get uglier. One resident email to us described it “more like a mob than a campaign” that has resorted to stalking, slander, and intimidation tactics.   Frisco deserves a campaign, not a crusade—and voters have every right to demand better than this.

“Tammy’s Greatest Hits: Now That’s What I Call Hypocrisy”

Tammy’s opening statement completely goes against what her supporters are doing!  Does she want us to believe she does not know the porch pirate deliveries?  Does she want us to believe she did not know what Jake Petras would do at the polls while holding her Vote For Tammy sign?   Tammy has one problem: she is full of lip service and zero accountability for her actions and the actions of her campaign or the supporters of her campaign.  Her hot mic moment exposed her cold heart!  Even amid full proof truth, her supporters will still fight till the fat lady sings that she is INNOCENT!  INNOCENT!  Tammy is a well-experienced politician who knows how to play the game now!  A vote for her is a vote for continued corruption within our city.  As for Brian Thomson, please email us the filings for your PAC.
