We have told you over and over how Frisco is “For Sale” to the highest bidder, and while some scoff at the notion, we hold steadfast that for a price a developer can have whatever they want in Frisco, Texas. Leading the helm of that “pay for play” practice is Mayor Jeff Cheney, who along the way went from broke (his comment to a local newspaper) to one of the largest Real Estate Moguls in Frisco. Guess he is not penny-less now! With the vote of the council members locked in, each bit of Frisco is for sale piece by piece.
Today we were sent an email from a reader who was upset that they received an email from their BUILDER LANDON HOMES telling them to vote no against the firefighters. They felt it was a violation of their privacy, and because it was political and had nothing to do with new homes or their home it crossed the line. That’s right, a builder LANDON HOMES used their sales list and client list to email everyone who bought a home from them and tell them to VOTE NO in our local election.
According to their privacy policy online Landon Homes respects your privacy and is committed to treating information about you responsibly. It clearly states they collect your information to give you superior service and to provide you with convenient access to a wide range of products and services and customer service surveys. No where in the written privacy policy does it say they will use one’s email for political purposes or to basically electioneer in their best interest.
The irony is the same builders ask the Fire Department to come out to their events and do “community engagement” events but they don’t want to support them back.
Why is it okay for builders to dictate how “WE, TAX PAYING RESIDENTS VOTE?”
While Landon Homes clients probably agreed to get marketing emails from them for things such as new homes or developments, did they agree to become recipients of political messages? Is that outside the scope of marketing?
How do you feel about a local builder being ANTI-FIREFIGHTER AND FIRST RESPONDERS? Would you buy a home from them now?
Do you think it is IRONIC that the same builders ask the Fire Department to come out to their events and do “community engagement” but then they don’t want to support them back?
It is no secret that John Landon, owner of Landon Homes has been a donor to certain members of the city council over the years:
Jeff Cheney Jan 2020 $2500
John Keating April 2024 $1500
Safety First Frisco April 2024 $10,000
We have no issue with Landon’s donating to the ANTI PAC as that is their right as an individual. However, they crossed the line went they entered their business into our political election and told home buyers how to vote! Ask yourself, what other developers have sent out this same message during this election cycle? How deep does this corruption go with our builders and city council?
VOTE FOR CHANGE! It is time for the residents to take back our city and to have a voice! Don’t be fooled by big-money developers with self-personal interests. Go out and support your Firefighters and first responders Saturday. Send an email to Landon Homes and let them know to stay out of our elections at onlinesales@landonhomes.com
Very misleading article. They didn’t ask them to vote against first responders. They asked them to vote no to unions which ruin everything they touch and would mean worse service for Frisco residents and higher taxes.
