India Association of North TX

Frisco has experienced rapid growth in recent years, fueled by its reputation as one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. The city website which estimates our current population as of April 2024 is about 233,211 people.  It also breaks down the economic statistics showing the median household income is around $145,914, the median family income of around $175,969, and the average median home value is $571,671.  All of this shows that Frisco is growing and prosperity is still good here. 

The other thing you notice in Frisco is that we are becoming more diverse each day and we think that is a good thing.  Living in a community with an eclectic diverse culture makes for a vibrant community to live in and enjoy.   As of 2023, the city website reports Frisco is 48.1% white, 26.7% Asian, 12.4% have two or more races, 9.3% are Black, 3.5% other, 0.5% are American Indian/Alaskan and 0.06% are Pacific Islander/Hawaiian and 14.5% is made of Hispanics (any race). 

Recently we heard about the Frisco Indian American Families City Council Forum.  We could not make it to the forum, but we did see video clips of it online.  We thought the dialog was good and the moderator did a good job, but we were disappointed two of the candidates (the active city council members) were unable to attend.  It did have some important faces like Texas House Representative Jared Patterson, Tony Singh from Little Elm District 2, and Burt Thakur a former Congressional Candidate and it was held at Rotate Bar & Kitchen which is an Indian-owned business.  It is events like this that show our diverse populations that they have an important voice and need to be involved. 

We wanted to dive deeper into the Indian community which is an important voting group here in Frisco.  We started looking at social media and immediately noticed there are several “social influencers” right here in our own backyard and local community.  Then we came across a post that said it is a beautiful day to be out to complete your civic duty and vote.  It tagged the Indian Association of North Texas (IANT) whose website states its primary purpose is to serve the cultural and educational needs of the North Texas Indian community.  It listed IANT as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization, established in 1962 and incorporated in 1976. 

Non-political?  The posts sure don’t seem “non-political” as it said to go vote and had several photos with folks holding signs for John Keating.  We also came across another post from the same influencer that details 3 candidates to vote for and is an endorsement that tagged the IANT.  It is confusing because it was not one post but multiple posts where the IANT was tagged for a political purpose. We were curious, why is the IANT involved in local elections in the City of Frisco, Texas?  Are they under pressure or being forced to get political? Why is one of its directors tagging the IANT in a clearly political post? Maybe this was the influencer’s endorsement, which is fine, but since they hold a position of influence with the IANT, should they be tagging a non-political organization? 

We could not find anything on their website that talked about how they endorse candidates, so we emailed them to ask what the process is for choosing a candidate to endorse.  We did see social media posts by the IANT encouraging people to vote but not for any one specific candidate. Do they require them to fill out questionnaires, and get interviewed by the board or a selection committee?   If they don’t endorse, and this is one person’s they should probably be clear on that to not influence others’ opinions.  Is the IANT under pressure or being forced to endorse candidates.

We want to see more voting here in Frisco and the Indian American population needs to understand the power they have as individuals by casting their vote.  The issues facing our local community as well as the state and national level make every vote that much more important.  We think holding educational political awareness events, meet-the-candidate events, and forums is fantastic.  We have trust in our leaders and influencers and if they want to endorse candidates then the public who follows them needs to know they have done their due diligence to determine who they are going to support.  Voting is crucial to changing the world in so many ways and we just want to make sure the message is fair and representative of everyone in the community not just one person’s sole endorsement.  We will let you know what we hear back from the IANT now that we have reached out to them.

Breaking All the Rules

Driving around our city today, we were very upset to find that Angelia Pelham, John Keating and the Vote NO PAC thought it was okay for them to just break all the rules. We passed our first fire station at Cotten Gin to see political signs out at 9am, then around 10:30 we passed our second fire station at the Denton Government Center, to see more signs displayed. Why is this a problem? The signs according to the rules should not be displayed until 6pm the night before the poles open.

Pelham, Keating and Bill Woodard who runs the Vote No Pac know the rules and they JUST DON’T CARE! It is an absolute slap in the face and show of blatant disrespect for the rules. It is a behavior that happens over and over because our council members feel entitled and special and as if the rules were made for the peons not the elite.

Angelia’s campaign slogan is “YOU KNOW ME!” Yes, Angelia we do! You expect us to follow the rules, but you are exempt from them. Neither you or your campaign team are naive campaigning and the rules around it, which means there is no excuse.

Keating claims “Promises Made, Promises Kept!” If that is true, then he read the campaign booklet you get when running for office which states the rules. He also signed off on that he understood those rules and agreed to adhere to them. After 13 years on our council and multiple elections if Keating does not know the rules by now, then he is A) an idiot, or B) entitled and thinks he is exempt from the following the rules because he is THE JOHN CHEATING KEATING! Well, you made a promise when you signed off you understood the rules and guess what, YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE, AGAIN!

Now, we would bet money their response would be “oh our sign guy didn’t realize the rules and we are so sorry.” We would believe that but, the sign guy is Fred “The Lawbreaker” Lusk, and he has been doing this for years and been through many elections. HE KNOWS THE RULES INSIDE AND OUT but obviously does not care! The worst part is our council approves of “The Lawbreaker Lusks” ways and methods and use him over and over for the elections.

As we go into tomorrow, the first day of early voting, we hope residents realize that these people who claim credibility, integrity, transparency, and accountability yet they are lying to you right to you. The rules apply to you and me, but let’s be clear they do not apply to Jeff Cheney, Angelia Pelham, and John Keating. They are literally showing you they think they are above the law, so open your eyes and realize enough is enough. It is time to change Frisco!

Proposition A & B

When you get old, your routine becomes familiar which is not a bad thing.  Every morning my wife and I have coffee on the back patio with our little TV turned on to the news.  We make sure to pull out our TV trays every night before 6:30 and have dinner on our plate so we can sit down for our daily dose of Wheel of Fortune at 6:30. Lastly, the highlight for me is the weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store.  While my wife grabs a cart I stroll right on in through those electric doors to my favorite place, the bakery.  I like to look at every cake and cookie and if there are samples, well I am on cloud 9.  I am a sucker for sweet treats!

When we first heard about the Frisco Firefighters Association’s push for Proposition A & B, my wife and I were coming out of the grocery store.  A young lady approached us and asked if we would be interested in signing the petition for the firefighters.  We talked and she was very pleasant and thoroughly explained what and why they were trying to get the propositions on the ballot.  We asked if she was a firefighter in Frisco and she said yes and we learned she was at the station closest to our house.  She humored us old folks and we signed the petition because we felt if this was something they felt that strongly about, then we should at least let them bring it to the voters. 

As time played out, we were curious, I wonder what the conversations were like at city hall in regard to this push.  We filed a PIR on February 26, 2024, that read Emails, texts or handwritten correspondence between city officials, including the city manager’s office, assistant city managers, deputy city managers, city council, and department directors regarding the Frisco Fire Association Prop A & B regarding Civil Service and Collective Bargaining.” 

On March 12, 2024, we received a reply from Julie Davidson, Deputy City Secretary that, “The City of Frisco has reviewed its files, and has located documents responsive to your request. However, due to issues of confidentiality, the City has chosen to seek a ruling from the Office of the Attorney General regarding the release of the responsive documents. You will be receiving a letter from Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd & Hullett, PC, attorneys for the City of Frisco, informing you of the City’s decision to seek a ruling from the Office of the Attorney General. The Office of the Attorney General has up to 45 business days in which to make a ruling regarding your request.”

Were we surprised to see the city send it to the Attorney General, of course not!  We just assumed since they were so against it, they would have no issue sharing the communications they have had regarding the propositions.  However when they did say they were sending it to the AG we began to wonder, why didn’t they want to share it.  What secret conversations have they had they don’t want us the residents they claim to be so transparent with, to see.

As of now April 21, 2024, we still have no response from the AG.  Common sense would tell you if they have nothing to hide they would release the communications because it would only support their vote-no stance.  Then again the other half of our common sense says, the only reason to play the Attonrey General game is to delay what you don’t want residents to see.  They know whatever we get back will be published and they know they may get caught with their hand in the “cookie jar!” 

So we are calling on our elected officials Jeff Cheney, John Keating, and Angelia Pelham who love to claim “Accountability and Transparency”  to hold a city council meeting and vote to release the documents just like they did last year on another issue. 

Jeff Cheney was quoted in Community Impact back on October 18, 2023, in an article by Alex Reece as saying, “The resolutions were adopted because of council’s belief in transparency and residents’ legal right to call for a vote on their issues.” Mayor Cheney, if you believe in transparency and the right for residents to vote on an issue then we need to know everything before voting which starts in 24 hours.  So why not fulfill the PIR?

Then we have John Keating who says right on his website under “The Mission” tab that he has served from a place of transparency and accountability throughout his time on council and that he will continue to uphold those values.  Well, Mr. Keating here is your chance to UPHOLD THOSE VALUE and call for a full release of the PIR which ensures every action taken is legal and ethical as you write on your website. Mr. Keating will you take action or are those just words to get re-elected?

Lastly, there is Angelia Pelham who states in her campaign video that three years ago she asked us to take a blind leap of faith and vote for someone we didn’t know.  She promised us that she would represent us with “Character and Integrity” as our elected official.  Now three years later she says, “You know me!”  Well, we searched her campaign website and while it talks about diversity in and out which is great, guess what it doesn’t mention? If you said TRANSPARENCY OR ACCOUNTABILITY, then you would be correct.  Angelia we are asking you based on your character and integrity to call for a full release of the PIR requested because if you have nothing to hide and act with character and integrity it should be no problem to release, right?

Truthfully, we don’t expect any of the three to release the PIR’s because their claim of transparency is complete bull shit!  Yep, we said it and we stand by it.  If this city is as transparent as it claims, then why do you keep delaying and hiding PIRs that could change how we vote?  Ask yourself this, what is our city and elected officials hiding when it comes to Prop A & B and how did the PAC get all this information from the city that no one else can get?    

Lastly, we were asked will we hold Piland and Redmond to the same standard and the answer is yes.  If they get elected, we will hold them to the same damn standard.  However, we can’t call on them to be transparent right now because they hold no key to the kingdom of documents.  You can bet if they get elected, we will ask them the same questions and hold them to the same standards and expectations that we are asking of our current council.

Where do we stand, we feel the Frisco Fire Fighters are the only ones being honest and transparent, so we are voting For Prop A & B in our household. We hope you make the best decision for your household.

Keg Chugger Cheney Loses His Marbles

Tonight, has been a roller derby of twists and turns in the Frisco political world.  One political candidate did a post, and then the Mayor of Frisco, who tonight we will call Keg Chugger Cheney, lost his marbles and shared the post to his personal Jeff Cheney and Mayor Jeff Cheney’s Facebook page.  In doing so we believe he broke the law by committing slander and defamation of character. To put a cherry on it, the mayor who should be a Statesman for Frisco discussed a former employee’s HR record and was also misleading in doing so.    

The post from Mark For Frisco City Council Place 1 said in 2020, that Mark Piland received a Mayor’s Award as the Fire Chief for the City of Frisco.  The post went on to say Mayor Cheney said the award was voted on by the entire city council and that it describes “the city employee we think exemplifies that more than anyone” and “there are no two greater people that walked the walk.”  Then it asks who could be better to be Frisco City Councilman for Place 1.

Fact 1:  The post is accurate!  Each year, Mayor Jeff Cheney gives out a Mayor’s Award.  He discussed this in a 2020 after-the-council live video that was posted to the City of Frisco’s Facebook page.  Cheney stated while it has his name on it, the entire City Council votes on it in regard to who in the city is leading with innovation, thinking about their job differently, and moving their departments forward.  Then he says in 2020 the award was given to two people because it has been a challenging year for public safety.  Then he mentions how public safety is the number one priority for the city and this year it came to the forefront with COVID-19 so they gave two awards to both Fire Chief Mark Piland and Police Chief Shilson.   He is quoted as saying they are a “well-deserved list of accomplishments this year that helped keep our community safe.”  Then he let Cheating Keating speak and he said, “he thinks they’ve done a fantastic job through the Covid-19 pandemic and then in their day-to-day work they had to do.”  It can also be seen at the 23:00 mark in the October 6, 2020 council meeting.  It is item 5 on the Agenda under Reports, and you can watch it for yourself, there is nothing inaccurately quoted in the Mark Piland Post.

After Keg Chugger Cheney shared the post to his Facebook pages Cheney wrote, “There is literally no better post to understand Mark Piland than this one. He was given the option to be terminated or accept a parachute severance package at massive taxpayer expense to retire peacefully because he falsified documents, lied under oath, and was untrusted by city management.  Great leaders give credit to others and accept responsibility for their faults.  Mark Piland would still be our fire Chief if he took responsibility for his failures. Him and Chief Shilson were awarded the Mayor’s Award on behalf of all of hundreds of local public safety officials and health workers that did amazing work during Covid. To use the efforts of others now as a political move is well on brand for him, disappointing and not representative of the people that lead this community. Please join me in supporting John Keating, Frisco City Council, Place 1. A true humble servant that gives credit to others during our biggest wins and takes responsibility for losses in the face of criticism.” 

Well, in Keg Chugger Cheneys own words, there is literally no better post to understand the ARROGANCE OF JEFF CHENEY, than this one.   His statements regarding Mark Piland being terminated are false, as we have pulled every EVAL for Former Chief Piland, we have pulled all of his exit paperwork from the city, and we have pulled and reviewed the entire Mayday Report which they claim he falsified.  Nowhere in any of the EVAL’s was Piland ever given a negative review.  Nowhere does it state that he ever “lied under oath.”  Nowhere in all of his exit paperwork from the city does it ever say the word terminated, or that he was offered a parachute severance package. 

We dug deeper and went back to the beginning and pulled PIRs from Piland’s’ other jobs and guess what, he has NEVER HAD A BAD EVAL, NEVER BEEN SUSPENDED, NEVER BEEN ACCUSED OF ANTYING ILLEGAL IN A 40+ YEAR CAREER BASED ON WHAT WAS TURNED OVER TO US.  That made us curious, how could a man with a stellar career come to Frisco, and all of a sudden after calling out the HR director for falsifying his signature, did he become a horrible employee, violate the law, lie under oath, etc.?   Also, if he committed such unlawful acts why would the city even give HIM THE OPTION TO RETIRE PEACEFULLY?  Why not JUST FIRE HIM?  I would be livid as a taxpayer to find out if someone committed these heinous acts that our city leaders offered him money to go away peacefully.

As for Keg Chugger Cheney’s statement that “Great Leaders give credit to others and accept responsibility for their faults,” is the pot calling the kettle black. Go back to October 6, 2020, and I do believe Fire Chief Mark Piland said this award was about his whole team and not just him and did give credit to the entire FD team.  In case you have had too many cocktails Mayor Cheney, it is on tape!  Second, you talk about faults, have you taken responsibility for your faults?  I can think of a few words here, Keg Party, lying to the Dallas Morning News, real estate agent, and the residents of Frisco about your “exclusive” deals in Fields.  What about how you bully people?  We have received at least 50 stories from real estate agents where you have used your power, name, and position to bully them or flat-out threaten them. 

MAYOR KEG CHUGGER CHENEY – YOU LIED AND COMMITTED SLANDER in your final statement!  I watched your speech, over and over.  Nowhere in your presentation or the after-the-meeting Facebook post did you say this award was on behalf of all hundreds of local public safety officials and health workers who did amazing work during COVID-19?  You talked specifically about their leadership and by the way, both Shilson and Piland stood on that stage and said it was about their whole department.  Not you!  Your accusation that he used the efforts of others now as a political move describes you and your best friend John Keating.  If sharing the fact that you won an award is a political move, then what would you call sharing the fact that you won the 2023 Chamber Executive of The Year across social media… vain or a political move?

Now, let’s look at the man you called “A true humble servant that gives credit to others during our biggest wins and takes responsibility for losses in the face of criticism.”  Well at a recent forum, he accused Piland of being fired, and Maury Povich would tell you that is a lie!  He also accused Piland of being a cheater, and Maury would tell you that it was a lie.  I do believe it was that so-called humble servant Cheating Keating who stepped out on his wife, on a holiday weekend, in a PUBLIC COMMUNITY POOL, where any man, woman, or child could have walked in on them and had sex with a woman served on a Frisco Board, right? Curious, you said leaders accept responsibility, so has John Keating ever apologized to the public for his offensive behavior done in a public pool? Has he ever apologized for his lapse in judgment with the Get Naked photo? Has he ever apologized to the community, whose public pool he got caught in?

I also believe that same humble servant, Cheating Keating has claimed on the campaign trail that he made Frisco the #1 Safest City, #1 Best Place to Live, #1 Best City to Do Business, and the #1 Suburb in North Texas.  Didn’t you just publish tonight that “Great Leaders give credit to others and accept responsibility for their faults?”  On the campaign trail he has said over and over he is a true leader and that he made Frisco great under his leadership and because of his leadership today, we are all these #1 things.  Where was the credit for the hundreds of police and firefighters who made this the safest city in this speech he gives over and over for “POLITICAL PURPOSES?”  Maybe that is why the Frisco Firefighters Association and Frisco Police Officers Association endorsed him, OH WAIT, THEY DIDN’T ENDORSE HIM!!! THEY ENDORSED MARK PILAND, the one you claim is so awful.  

To be factual, we were the #1 Best Place to Live in 2018 and a lot can change in SIX YEARS.  As for #1 Best City to Do Business in Texas, that was awarded to us in 2020 and a lot can change in FOUR YEARS.  In his recent mailer that arrived in mailboxes across the city this week, he said he wants to protect our quality of life with more roads, quality infrastructure, and less traffic.   He has served this city for 13 years, so why has he not done that the last 13 years and phased in growth better, so we don’t have the problem today?   He also said in the same mailer he wants to support our Police and Fire, yet clearly, they don’t feel that support or they would not have endorsed his opponent, right?  Lastly, look at his website, he never gives credit to the great team that helped make this city great. All of his statements are I did this, I did that. 

Lastly, we have pointed out over and over that the citizens want a voice, you know those who live here and pay tax dollars who are often ignored.  They are tired of outside developers owning this city and our council, but John Keating the humble servant disagrees.  His website says, “Business leaders who invest in Frisco know they have a voice at city hall with John Keating.”  No wonder the developers give him so much money – his vote is for sale.  Maybe that is how he could afford a house in The Preserve, Frisco’s most prestigious new neighborhood when his campaign finance reports list him as retired or a house husband.   

Keg Chugger Cheney, tonight with your post you crossed a line that we are pretty sure you will get sued for.  You also look like a bully, with a bad attitude, stomping his feet and kicking rocks on the playground because you didn’t get your way.  Speaking of accountability, did you ever step up and apologize for your laundry list of things like a keg party, selling lots on a secret VIP list stated in a 2019 email, or admit that you have a lot in The Preserve that was gifted to you by your developer buddies? Maybe lay off the late-night vino drinking Mayor!

Safety First: Smoke & Mirrors

If you live in Frisco and have not yet heard about the heated debate between the so-called leaders for The City of Frisco and Frisco Firefighters, then you need to come out from under the rock.  On the May 4th ballot, we the residents, will see two propositions: Prop A: Civil Service and Prop B: Collective Bargaining and before you vote you need to ask yourself, why would the fire fighters be going for something like this unless they really needed to?

In our previous blog, we told you about “The PAC” formed by active Councilman Bobblehead Bill Woodard, which is being used to disgrace our fire fighters all while they keep a smile and say “we love our first responders.”  We also told you how the Frisco Chamber of Commerce used their platform to advocate instead of educate, on behalf of businesses against the fire fighters.  Then we told you how city leaders called in their favors with developers who helped the PAC raise over $100,000 which is how the PAC was bought and paid for. All if it could not be shadier!

Now what?  Let’s talk about misinformation and how they city plans to use Sheryl Sculley, the former City Manager for the City of San Antonio to scare residents by telling how she successfully fought off the “Association” from “virtually bankrupting the city.”  In fact, they are going tell residents she was so successful that she even wrote a book titled “Greedy Bastards” but is that really the truth?  Here at whistleblower, we like to dig deeper.  We want to introduce you to The Real Sheryl Sculley aka Sherylton.

In an article we found in SA Current, it stated that before arriving in San Antonio, Sculley came from Phoenix, Arizona, where she earned $173,000 per year.  While in Phoenix she headed up the effort to expand Phoenix’s convention center in the late 90’s and made some big promises.  She stressed the convention center expansion would involve “NO NEW TAXES” and instead could be paid for with existing visitor taxes and a potential $300 million commitment from the state of Arizona. 

The article reported that Sculley pitched the expansion herself to the Arizona Legislature in a 2002 presentation that stressed “There is No Status Quo!”  At stake were $32 million in annual state tax revenues and 12,000 jobs, which proved to be enough for the state who committed $300 million to the project.  Now you can’t have a convention center without a hotel next door.  Sculley failed in getting a private developer to build the new hotel, so Phoenix financed it and built it!  The article reports that everyone bought into Sculley’s idea the city would be poised to emerge as the next great convention destination.  Guess what, that didn’t happen!

The article reports in 2003 that an Earnest & Young study forecasted the new grand center would welcome 375,000 annual convention delegates.  Sounds great considering in the past it was around 166,000 in 1996 and 193,000 in 1997.  However, at the end of the fiscal year in 2011 the attendees were just about 156,000 and in 2012 about 233,000.  With no boom, the new Sheraton hotel the city finananced dubbed the “Sherlyton” by city staffers struggled to pay off its debt and required continuing tax revenue support from the city.  In 2017, the City of Phoenix sold off the Sherlyton to a private company and suffered a significant financial loss.

When Sulley became the new City Manager of San Antonio in 2005 it came with a hefty price tag of $265,000 and a large promise to turn San Antonio around.  She admitted to inheriting a disorganized mess and in her first year or two she hired a new police chief, a new convention-bureau director, and two deputy city managers. She reshuffled the finance department, had the municipal courts redone, and restructured the management at the convention center and Alamodome.  She also overhauled Development Services which had long been the focus of complaints from the local “development” community. By 2016 her base salary was $450,000 and she leveraged a $100,000 bonus making her total compensation $550,000 making her the highest paid city manager in Texas.   That is a lot of money for a city whose median household annual income is around $58,829.

SA Current reported at the end of 2006, they were already calling Sculley out for her lack of transparency saying she gives the appearance of citizen participation but it just that appearanceSound familiar?   Sculley proposed the three largest bonds programs in city history in San Antonio totaling over $2 Billion dollars.  Under Sculley, the city’s debt burden jumped 78 percent between fiscal years 2005 and 2017, reaching $3 billion. Those borrowings include general obligation bonds, which voters approved, and tax notes and certificates of obligation, for which voters didn’t have a say.

Maybe instead of fighting the Police and Fire Associations for years she should have worked productively with them to fight crime.  Did she expect to fight and not have them fight back?  In 2018, when Sculley left, several online reports said violent crime was up, calls to 911 were up, and it was reported it would take 341 new officers with no retirements or attrition to be near full staffing. 

Sculley announced her retirement in 2018 and within hours San Antonio dropped its lawsuits against the Fire Union according to SA Current.  According to media reports, The City of San Antonio has dropped its lawsuit challenging the evergreen clause in the contract of its firefighters’ union, potentially hitting restart for negotiations for a new labor deal. In 2024, the San Antonio Fire Association President said, we are looking forward to city and union leaders working together with a more polite dialogue this time around.”  Funny thing, that is exactly what Frisco Firefighters Association Matt Sapp has said, they just want to have a seat at the table and have dialogue.

In the end, the truth is Sculley set the tone for her tenure as City Manager and the associations responded to that tone.  Sound familiar?  Don’t misunderstand, Sculley did some great things during her tenure in San Antonio to change the city into what is today. We can’t take away her successes but it sure does not mean she didn’t have any failures during the same tenure. She left San Antonio with some positive attributes and like other city has some not-so-great attributes. In the end, Sculley walked away from San Antonio with over $10 million dollars in pay over the years.   I guess her salary didn’t hurt the city economics just the needs of the fire fighters and police officers, or at least that is what she wants you to believe. Maybe that is why there is a Facebook page dedicated to her titled Removed City Manager Sheryl Sculley

However, any good left behind does not take away the tone she set with first responders.  Remember she sued 5 times and lost 5 times. Think about it, Sculley’s new book is called Greedy Bastards, that alone speaks volumes as to how she sees first responders and public servants.  IS THAT WHAT THE CITY OF FRISCO IS PROMOTING HERE?  Does the city want us to think our first responders are greedy bastards, I would hope not. While the City of Frisco would like you to believe these propositions would devastate the city, the firefighters are not looking to bankrupt the city, hell they want a paycheck. We have to believe our Firefighters have commonsense, and that means they know you can’t really get a paycheck and benefits from a city with a diluted bank account.  

The City of Frisco has set the tone with our Fire and Police Associations, and it is like an abusive relationship. The city has verbally berated them, scolded them, and told them what they don’t deserve, in a nutshell how much of a POS they are.  Think of the narrative, just look pretty like a trophy wife, and stand there, don’t talk, or have an opinion.  Then we can shout from our pulpit as the city council leaders that we give almost ½ the city budget to public safety so that proves we love our men and woman who serve. Now, please pat us on the back and tell us how amazing we are as a council. 

Bobble Head Bill is making the most noise in this, why?  He is termed out and cannot run again, so who cares if he burns the house down as he leaves.  I truly hope those who are not termed out like Bobble Head Bill, understand that when this is over, you can’t just apologize with a cocktail or some red roses. That will be for Cheney, Meinershagen, Rummel, and the two other folks elected this year to fix.  We end this one question for you to answer.

DO YOU THINK OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS / FIRST REPONDERS ARE GREEDY BASTARDS?

Political Affiliation: According to TransparencyUSA.org, since leaving San Antonio, it appears Sculley has become a consultant for Strategic Partnerships and in 2022 she donated $15,000 to Act Blue Texas and Beto O’Rourke.
