Back in November of 2025 as families prepared for the upcoming holidays, Mark Hill announced his Kick-Off Event to run for Mayor at Verona Villa. Just days after the event families across the city were getting ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving tradition of family, feasting and giving thanks for all the blessings bestowed upon them.
However, one family in Frisco was not getting ready to give thanks. Why? They were still in morning over losing their son, Austin Metcalf on April 2, 2025, at a Frisco High School track meet. The news spread like wildfire through the Frisco community and many were left asking, how could this happen on school grounds at a sporting event. Even more shocking it was at the alleged hands of another student who has since been charged with Murder.
Next came Christmas, and while Mark Hill was still on the campaign trail, getting endorsements and raising campaign funds for his fancy videos, the Metcalf family faced their first Christmas without their son. At the same time social media had turned this innocent family’s grief into a Jerry Springer tale trying to make it out like Austin Metcalf was the instigator.
As the Murder Case was prepared in Collin County, everyone involved was put under a gag order by the courts so the Metcalf family could not even speak about their grief. The Metcalf family and their son (who was the victim) were torn apart from every angle emotionally and physically across social media and other news platforms.
Meanwhile, Mark Hill never blinked an eye and kept on campaigning to be the next Mayor of Frisco.
However, I have watched for months as Mark Hill has bragged about his leadership experience serving as the President of the Frisco ISD Board of Trustee’s. He bragged about balancing the ISD budget only after a failed $1 Billion dollar bond vote and two years budget woes. Hill said at the ICF Forum, leadership is not measured by a person’s tenure in politics but by the positive impact you have in the community. On April 30th in a video Mark Hill says his vision – Strong Families make a Strong Frisco!
During this time, an insider very close to the Metcalf family reached out to me. I never spoke about our conversations over the last year until now. Why? Out of respect for Austin Metcalf, his twin brother Hunter and his parents. See, I am a single father of two boys, one with special needs. I relate to Mr. Metcalf and since that April day, I have awakened each morning thinking what if one morning I sent my kid out the front door to never see him again. It would destroy me.
In my conversations with the insider, I learned that Mr. Metcalf believes Frisco ISD is guilty of negligent homicide and that he believes the school district bent to the pressure from activist groups. He also believes that Frisco ISD went against its own attendance policy and expulsion policy for fighting (and you know murder) giving K.A. a diploma.
The insider also told us when the Metcalf family asked Frisco ISD to read Austin’s name and allow Hunter, his twin brother to accept it, at graduation the Boad of Trustee’s refused at first. It was not until word got out that day across social media and the press that that the district called and say they changed their mind. Again, showing they caved to public pressure – but at least this time it was the right thing to do.
We have also been told that Mr. Metcalf allegedly believes the Board of Trustees completely fumbled the ball letting people see the video. Most of all Mr. Metcalf is disgusted that it took 32 days for a response to his ex-wife and that the response lacked any compassion or sympathy. The insider also told us that when Mr. Metcalf finally meets face-to-face with Mark Hill and the Board of Trustees, Hill cowered behind lawyers, giving canned answers such as “I followed the law.” Not once did he display a heart or sympathy to the Metcalf family. Our insider tells us Mr. Metcalf and other family members feel the district changed the rules after Austin was murdered.
Just recently I talked to our insider again, and he said Mr. Metcalf has expressed NO FIATH IN THE UPPER MANAGEMENT AND FRISCO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES – WHICH INCLUDES MARK HILL! While the family hopes the new superintendent can do better and turn it around it is too late for their son Austin Metcalf.
Most importantly we asked the insider who Jeff Metcalf was supporting for Mayor and in quiet voice he said Metcalf recently voted for Rod Vilhauer and has expressed to his friends that they should vote for Rod Vilhauer. The last person he believes will keep our community safe … is Mark Hill.
Today we scrolled through Hill’s campaign page, and we read some of his endorsements. His endorsements is a list is a who’s who in Frisco. For example, Former Mayor Mike Simpson wrote Hill was the right person to lead Frisco to the next level to live, work and raise a family. Really? Do you think the Metcalf family would agree with that? Mr. Simpson could you look Jeff Metcalf in the face and tell him that?
Judy Roach, a Frisco Community Leader wrote we deserve a mayor with empathy. I wonder what kind of empathy Mark Hill showed the Metcalf family? I would love for Judy to talk to Mr. Metcalf face to face and tell him she believes Mark Hill has empathy. I am pretty sure the Metcalf family disagrees with her.
Kishore Kancharla wrote Mark Hill’s leadership is built on compassion. I truly hope Kancharla never has to see the compassion Hill displayed to the Metcalf family.
Bob Allen, Former Frisco City Council, wrote we deserve a mayor who understands the importance of family and community. I would argue Bob has no idea the importance of family until you lose a family member the way the Metcalf family did in an act of violence. Mark Hill cares about his family, but does he actually care about yours?
In closing, look at your children and ask yourself one important question before you head to the polls on Tuesday or Saturday. If you child was Austin Metcalf and you had been treated the way they had been treated by Mark Hill, President of Frisco ISD Board of Trustee’s, would you be voting for him? If your child had left for school, and never came home due to an act of violence on school grounds that could have been prevented, would you be voting for Mark Hill?
Be like Mr. Metcalf, vote for change! Be the voice of our children and vote for someone who truly wants a Safe Frisco for All. Mr. Vilhauer may not be the best public speaker or always use the right words, but one thing is very clear – he is not fake. He wears his heart and emotions on sleeve and that is not always bad for our leaders. He truly cares for public safety and the future of Frisco and the residents who live here.
Lastly, as the Murder Trial comes to an end, please pray for Jeff Metcalf, his ex-wife, and their son Hunter. They deserve so much more from us as a community, they deserve better from our leadership. It could have been your family; it could have been one of my boys. That is not something I will ever risk. Also, after the trail is over and the gag order is over, if we published anything inaccurately from our source and Mr. Metcalf wants Frisco Chronicles to write an update, I will be happy too. I trust the source and I know his close connection to the family which is why I chose to talk about our conversations.
Someone once told me, when it rains, it is really God dropping his tears for you to feel his presence. I hope that is true tonight and breaks up the clashing protests being held at Frisco City Hall. Both are said to be peaceful protests, but you never know what can happen when passionate people get heated.
On May 25th a man name Zul Mohamed posted to his Facebook Page, “Are you tired of hearing low-class people blame your culture for their problems?” Clearly, Zul was trying to hit a nerve to motivate people to respond. His post continues, “You should be attending the Rally Against Rednecks. An evening dedicated to celebrating the contributions of our local Asian community and letting a bunch of trailer-park trash yokels know what the world really thinks about them.”
Mohamed then calls for the local Asian community to join him on Tuesday (tonight) outside Frisco City Hall (during the Frisco City Council Meeting). The bottom of his post reads www.hiswebsite.com which appears to take you to a political page where he claims to be announcing in late July, early August that he is running for Texas Senate to represent the New American Movement and his party the American Millennial Party.
The post gained traction. A little later the American Rednecks he insulted started posting a counter peaceful protest to happen around the same time, same place. The result, everyone is left wondering what will happen tonight. My recommendation every Frisco Asian and Frisco Redneck should stay away from these outside influences who are trying to disrupt our city.
Who is Zul Mohamed?
As for Zul Mohamed, if I were South Asian, I would not want him claiming to represent me. The name should sound familiar he is the FORMER Carrollton Mayoral Candidate who faced the following criminal allegations and convictions in Texas:
Zul Mohamed: 2020 Voter Fraud Case
Authorities alleged that Mohamed, fraudulently requested mail-in ballots for Carrollton residents without their authorization, used a fictitious Texas driver’s license and a fake student ID to obtain a mailbox, and possessed ballots that had been sent to the fraudulent address.
Initially Mohamed was arrested on 109 FELONY COUNTS consisting of 84 counts of Fraudulent Use of a Mail Ballot Application which is a third-degree felony. He also was arrested for 25 counts of Unlawful Possession of an Official Ballot/Ballot Envelope, second-degree felonies.
Mohamed ultimately pleaded guilty to more than 100 felony voter-fraud charges arising from the 2020 election. Reports state that a Denton County jury convicted him and imposed a prison sentence. One report states he pleaded guilty to 106 felony charges and received a four-year prison sentence, while appeals were subsequently filed.
According to the appellate opinion issued in May 2026, the voter-fraud convictions remained under appeal and The Seventh Court of Appeals reviewed the case and largely upheld the convictions while modifying certain probation conditions. For the 81 Counts of Ballot Application Fraud, Mohamed was sentenced to 10 years confinement, probated for 10 years. On the 25 counts of Ballot Possession, Mohamed was sentenced to 4 years confinement.
Mohamed’s 2025 Fake Jury Summons Case
In a separate matter, Mohamed was charged after authorities alleged that fake jury-duty notices were mailed to residents directing them to appear on the same day his sentencing trial began. Reports indicate he was charged with Impersonating a Public Servant in connection with the alleged fake jury summons scheme.
Important Context: Criminal cases can involve arrests, charges, guilty pleas, convictions, appeals, and sentencing issues that may change over time. Current reports indicate Mohamed has appealed aspects of his voter-fraud conviction and sentence
Again, is this the man Frisco South Asians want representing them? Honestly, I do not think the South Asian Hindu community would say yes. They are good, hard-working people who want what every Franconian and American want – a safe place to call home and raise children. Those of the Hindu faith are some of the most peaceful people in the world.
As for our Muslim community if they turn up to support Mohamed, they are only feeding the fear of the Muslim takeover some refer to. His Facebook posts use the hashtag #NewAmerica and #USASucks and he asks follows to join his “rebellion” – what rebellion? Is that the message they want to send?
Hard Truth Time: Zul Mohamed does not represent our South Asian community he represents himself. He is a narcissist who clearly thinks America Sucks. Every side has disrupters like Jake Lang, and he is the Jake Lang of the Muslim community. Jake Lang does not represent me, and I have to hope that Zul Mohamed does not represent our Frisco Muslim or South Asian community. Time will tell!
Outsiders Be Gone
It is time for Frisco to tune out the noise created by outsiders and remember we need to clean up the corruption at city hall. All of this “other stuff” is to distract local residents who live here from our real issues. We need local leadership to represent Frisco Residents First. We need full transparency at City Hall, no more back door deals, or side conversations in Executive Session called by our current Mayor during a council meeting. We need new blood, new leadership who will remember while tourists come and go, we live here and this is our home!
Frisco, Stay Home! Do not attend these protests tonight! Instead say enough of the outside disruption! Don’t let it feed the hatred within us towards our neighbors. Don’t give it oxygen to expand.

Politics has always been a strange business. Candidates spend months telling voters exactly who they are — until the polling shifts, the pressure builds, and suddenly the “new and improved” version appears like a late-night infomercial product nobody asked for.
The Great Frisco Flip-Flop: When Candidates Rebrand Mid-Campaign
There is an old rule in politics: if the polling changes, suddenly so do the principles.
Over the last several months, Frisco residents watched an all-out firestorm erupt around candidate Rod Vilhauer over his comments regarding Sharia Law and how it will have no place or influence in Frisco, Texas. Whether residents agreed or disagreed with Vilhauer, one thing was undeniable: the reaction was immediate, emotional, and relentless. As time went on, momentum began to build and Rod admitted he made some mistakes, said some hurtful things to members of our South Asian community, and apologized openly for it. However, he made it very clear he will not apologize for his feelings and opinions on Sharia Law in Frisco and in the United States. When it comes to that he has not waived on his statements.
That brings us to Frisco mayoral candidate Mark Hill. At that same time, Mark Hill positioned himself as the calmer, more diplomatic alternative. Hill repeatedly leaned into the idea that “Frisco is for everyone and lead with the Unite Frisco theme,” projecting an image of unity and moderation while others around him condemned Vilhauer as dangerous or divisive.
But then something interesting happened. Suddenly, Mark Hill sounded different!
At the Frisco Chamber Candidate Forum, residents appeared to witness Hill suddenly changing his tune. For perhaps the first time publicly, Hill made clear statements about defending the U.S. Constitution and asserted that Sharia Law would have no place in Frisco.
Sound familiar?
The most awkward moment may have been when Hill seemingly leaned toward Rod supporters with an attitude of: “See? Clap for me. This is what you wanted, right?”
That statement was the most revealing moment of the entire campaign. There it was …. The Pivot. Not a full political U-turn. More like one of those slow exits drivers make across three lanes of traffic while pretending they were always headed in that direction.
Voters noticed it sounded remarkably similar to the same position Rod Vilhauer had been attacked for expressing all along — only difference? Mark Hill packaged his in softer language and delivered with polished political diplomacy. All of the sudden, the wording changed everything. It was not about what Rod Vilhauer said, it was that Mark Hill said more softly with the smile of an Ivy League Professor.
Frisco Chronicles wanted to know, why was one candidate portrayed as radical for expressing a position, while another candidate can express a polished version of the exact same concern and suddenly be praised as “reasonable”?
Voters Reactions
Voters began to question Hill, not because of the statement itself, but because it exposed what many voters are beginning to suspect: Mark Hill is pivoting depending on the audience in front of him. When speaking to moderate voters, Hill promotes inclusion and unity. When speaking in rooms where conservative concerns are louder, Hill suddenly becomes a constitutional warrior. When speaking to Republican voters, campaign messaging emphasizes his Republican identity.
But when concerns emerge that Democratic voters may be alienated, his supporters attack anyone who calls out … The Pivot. Just look at several local political pages and you will see Hill supporters acting like online WWE commentators every time someone disagrees with Team Hill. Just today they even accused opponents of circulating Republican-identifying text messages to damage him politically.
Hill supporters quickly treat disagreement like betrayal, questions like attacks, and criticism makes you hateful. Suddenly the candidate preaching “UNITY” is surrounded by digital pit bulls chewing through anyone who refuses to jump aboard the Hill Train.
Of course, every campaign has loud supporters. That is politics. But candidates cannot endlessly campaign on “bringing people together” while benefiting from an atmosphere where voters who dissent are publicly mocked, piled on, or dismissed.
Muslim Community
What is more dangerous to them a man who is passionate and wears his heart on his sleeve or a snake who slitters in saying one thing and slithers away shedding it’s skin saying another. The Muslim community should be asking Hill, which version is real? Are you a unity candidate? Are you a constitutional hardliner? Or the carefully calibrated political middleman trying to be everything to everyone at the same time?
That question matters because leadership is not about telling every room exactly what it wants to hear. It is about consistency. Voters are beginning to notice the contradictions.
Another Pivot Regarding Safety
Hill frequently points to his role in Frisco ISD and claims he helped make schools safer. He even boasts that other districts model Frisco ISD’s safety structure.
But residents cannot ignore the painful reality that despite all the claims of safety success, Frisco ISD could not protect a single student at a local track meet held on district property.
That tragedy shook the community deeply. And while no system can guarantee perfect safety, voters have every right to question sweeping campaign claims about being able to “protect the city” when one horrific failure leaves a family torn apart. The district wants you to forget it happened, Hill wants you to forget it happened, but the truth is it still hangs over the district’s record and Mark Hill was the President of the FISD board at the time.
Yet Hill continues to campaign as though his leadership record is beyond scrutiny.
Unity
If this campaign is supposedly about unity, why does the behavior surrounding it feel so divisive? And perhaps the biggest issue of all is fairness.
Why was Rod Vilhauer treated like a political extremist for discussing concerns about Sharia Law, while Mark Hill can now express nearly identical constitutional concerns in softer language and suddenly receive applause instead of outrage?
Frisco voters are smarter than politicians often assume. They notice when positions evolve overnight. They notice when messaging changes depending on the audience. And they especially notice when candidates try to quietly walk both sides of the street hoping nobody compares yesterday’s statements with today’s campaign speeches.
The real issue here is not whether Mark Hill has the right to change positions. Every politician evolves. The issue is transparency. The same issue we have been preaching is a problem for years. If Hill truly changed his views, then just say so. Do it clearly, like Rod Vilhauer did when he apologized for some of his language. He stood up like a man and took responsibility and has made efforts to show the community he is sorry and from what we saw at his event the other night it is coming from an authentic place.
The question for Mark Hill is if he always believed these things, then explain why others were demonized for saying them first? Muslim voters are not stupid! They are paying attention and many are beginning to question the PIVOT that Mark Hill has taken. One email we received from a Muslim Frisconian said, “We notice when candidates test-drive new positions in public. Especially when it appears that person is trying to occupy both sides of an issue at the same time. It leaves me wondering is Mark Hill using our Muslim community?”
Frisco Chronicles believes Mark Hill is using the Muslim community for their vote. Voters can tolerate disagreement; they struggle to tolerate political shape-shifting liars. People want authenticity. Even if they disagree with a candidate, they at least want to know where that candidate genuinely stands when the cameras are off and the consultants go home.
And if this is simply election-season political recalibration designed to secure votes from every possible faction, Frisco voters deserve to know that too. In a hyper-connected world where every speech gets clipped, shared, reposted, dissected online, the POLITICAL PIVOT is getting hard to hide.
Eventually campaigns end, signs come down, applause fades, but residents are left with one unavoidable question: Which version of Mark Hill would actually show up to govern?
At Frisco Chronicles we want UNITY and CHANGE and that can happen by voting for Rod Vilhauer. We are better off to have a man who makes a mistake and owns it, apologizes for it, and says the buck stops here with me, then a man who will pivot back and forth with no hesitation. It is time for Frisco to belong to Frisco again, and that includes all our neighbors because we are not that different, we all bleed the same color.

There is a difference between political disagreement and online obsession. In the age of Facebook gladiators, neighborhood watchdog pages, and keyboard constitutional scholars armed with Canva graphics, the line can get blurry fast. But lately, several Frisco residents have been asking a serious question about local physician Dr. Matt Rostami and his increasingly aggressive online commentary aimed at Frisco mayoral candidate Rod Vilhauer.
The concern is not simply that a doctor has political opinions. Doctors are citizens. They vote. They argue. They post memes just like everyone else. Some even discover Facebook Live and suddenly believe they are one podcast microphone away from becoming the next Joe Rogan.
Rostami’s online political presence is not new. Here are just a few posts sent to us by readers.
Video of Dr. Matt Rostami mocking the need to stop Sharia Law and making Christian woman to wear a Hijab. He specifically points out a woman named “Mary” who is holding a baby a reference to the bible. He goes on to say in our country Freedom is showing your butthole and cleavage because sharing is caring.
Current Revolt called out Dr. Matt Rostami for being a Democrat in disguise. He claims to be a Republican, but his voting Record says otherwise from what we can tell and Current Revolt called him out about it. We also noticed that he supported the vaccines during Covid which is odd for a Republican.
Then there is a post showing Dr. Matt Rostami dressed up in cosplay as a Jewish Nazi Officer. After it was posted he later mocked it, and in the words of Shaggy allegedly said, “it wasn’t me.”
In another post, Rostami holds up a Muslim Medical Alliance folder and mocks obese woman saying “I am here to get my CME credits as a doctor at this Muslim American Medical Society. We are discussing how to help Americans lose weight so they can fit in Hijab, Abayas and Burqas when we implement Sharia law. Yes, I was also surprised that we didn’t just have them in larger sizes (clown face emoji).
The Concern
The concern being raised by residents is whether Dr. Rostami’s online behavior has crossed from political speech into something more concerning: harassment, intimidation, or conduct unbecoming of a licensed physician.
And perhaps the biggest mystery of all: why did it take nearly an entire day to even locate his Texas medical license?
The Name Game
Here is where the story starts feeling less like a medical directory and more like a witness protection subplot from a late-night cable drama.
Most Texans searching the Texas Medical Board database would naturally type in “Matt Rostami.” That search does not easily lead to his medical credentials because “Matt Rostami” is not his legal name.
According to Texas Medical Board records, Dr. Matt Rostami’s legal name is Dr. Mahdi Rostamizaden, and his Texas medical license is listed as #R2723.
To be clear, physicians are not generally required to publicly advertise their license numbers on websites or social media. Texas law typically allows doctors to practice and advertise under a professional name, practice name, DBA, or commonly used name. Nothing illegal there.
Still, some residents found it odd that locating the license information required what felt like a forensic accounting team, three cups of coffee, and the determination of a true-crime podcast listener.
What Does the Texas Medical Board Actually Regulate?
This is where things become important — and nuanced.
The Texas Medical Board does not regulate political beliefs. A physician can support a candidate, oppose a candidate, criticize policy, or post unpopular opinions online. The First Amendment protects a tremendous amount of speech, including speech many people dislike.
Texas law does not create one single “social media behavior statute” for physicians. Instead, physician conduct is regulated through broader standards found in the Texas Occupations Code and Texas Administrative Code involving:
Professional ethics
Dishonorable conduct
Conduct likely to deceive, defraud, or injure the public
Impairment issues
Harassment or threatening behavior
Professional character requirements
The board has previously disciplined physicians over online conduct, including inappropriate Facebook activity and harassment-related behavior. The key legal question is not whether someone is rude, loud, politically charged, or unpopular, but the threshold is evidence.
Not gossip. Not rumors. Not “he seems weird online.” Evidence.
When Does Free Speech Become Harassment?
That is the million-dollar constitutional question.
A physician posting criticism about a political candidate is protected speech. Even harsh criticism usually remains protected. At Frisco Chronicles we know where that line is and we do stand to protect it. The question is should those rules be different for licensed professionals in some categories.
If conduct escalates into targeted harassment, threats, stalking behavior, intimidation, discriminatory conduct, or actions suggesting impaired judgment that could affect patient safety, the equation changes dramatically.
Several Frisco residents who contacted Frisco Chronicles expressed concern that Dr. Rostami’s posts have become increasingly inflammatory and intensely focused on Vilhauer.
One resident wrote:
“The public rhetoric has become increasingly inflammatory.”
Another questioned whether the fixation had crossed into “stalking territory.”
To be very clear, those are serious accusations. We want to make sure folks understand these are opinions — not legal findings.
A skeptical observer might reasonably ask whether the behavior reflects the professional judgment expected from someone entrusted with patient care. But legally speaking, “poor judgment” and “disciplinable impairment” are not the same thing.
That distinction matters.
Because the law does not punish someone simply for acting eccentric online. If it did, half of Facebook would be under federal supervision and Nextdoor would require adult probation officers.
The “Good Professional Character” Standard
Under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 155, physicians are expected to maintain “good professional character.”
Chapter 164 goes further, allowing disciplinary action when a physician is unable to practice medicine safely because of:
illness
drunkenness
excessive use of drugs or chemicals
mental or physical conditions affecting safe practice
Recently, several residents emailed Frisco Chronicles asking whether Dr. Rostami’s online conduct raises concerns about impairment or mental fitness.
To be absolutely clear: there is currently no public evidence proving impairment, substance abuse, or mental incapacity.
However, Texas law does provide mechanisms for investigation if legitimate complaints and probable cause exist.
Under Section 164.053 of the Texas Occupations Code, the Texas Medical Board may request a physician submit to mental or physical examinations if there is probable cause involving professional behavior concerns, substance abuse issues, or mental health conditions affecting safe practice.
If a physician refuses, hearings may follow, during which the physician can present evidence and legal defense.
Again, the standard is not “people on Facebook think he’s acting strange.”
The standard is probable cause backed by evidence.
That is a very high bar — and intentionally so.
Targeting Rod Vilhauer
Perhaps the most comical part of this entire saga is that Dr. Rostami appears to be attacking Rod Vilhauer for a comment made during a podcast that he has later clarified, while Rostami engages in the very same style of online political commentary daily in his regular posts. One day it is “dangerous rhetoric” when Vilhauer speaks bluntly about controversial issues; the next day Rostami is unloading multi-post tirades, inflammatory accusations, taking out political hit pieces in magazines, putting up defamatory road signs, and posting political attacks with the enthusiasm of a late-night cable news host who just discovered espresso. Residents watching this unfold believe Rostami has gone over the line of two people arguing over who is being too loud… through bullhorns. If harsh political speech suddenly qualifies someone as unstable, offensive, or unfit for public discourse, then critics might reasonably ask whether Dr. Rostami’s own Facebook timeline should be entered into evidence as Exhibit A.
Politics, Medicine, and Public Trust
This entire situation raises broader questions that extend beyond one physician or one mayoral race. How much online behavior is too much for professionals entrusted with public safety and public health? Should physicians be held to higher standards in public discourse? At what point does political activism begin damaging public confidence in the medical profession? And perhaps most importantly: in an era where outrage drives clicks, likes, and engagement, are some people simply losing the ability to log off?
The internet has transformed ordinary citizens into full-time broadcasters. Every grievance becomes a livestream. Every disagreement becomes a crusade. Every Facebook thread becomes Gettysburg with emojis. But physicians occupy a unique place in society. Patients trust them with life-altering decisions. That trust depends not only on medical competence, but also on public confidence in their judgment.
The Texas Medical Board understands that balance. That is why it generally avoids policing mere political opinions while still maintaining authority to investigate conduct that may genuinely endanger the public or reflect professional impairment.
For now, Dr. Rostami’s conduct remains largely a matter of public debate — not public discipline.
But one thing is certain: when residents begin asking whether a Doctor’s Facebook feed belongs in a campaign office, a courtroom, or a psychiatric evaluation request, the conversation has already moved far beyond ordinary politics.

Any resemblance to real events is either coincidental or intentionally satirical. Reader discretion — and a sense of humor — are advised.
Frisco Chronicles has no issue questioning city leadership and department leadership because I believe someone must speak for the front-line employees. Why? It is the front-line employees in each department that do the day-to-day work which keeps our city great. Every time I hear from an “insider” it is the same story, different department.
We have heard about nepotism running rampant, leadership involved in sexual affairs, toxic work environments, and much more. The truth is our city needs a good “SPRING CLENAING” in top management and department leaders. Why? To protect our front-line workers who feel the brunt of their failed leadership.
The last two weeks we have received several emails related to City Manager, Wes Pierson. The emails talk about how Pierson leads with hostile and condescending behavior. One email noted he consistently speaks down to staff, direct reports, and his executive team. It went on to say his condescending behavior and communication style undermines the morale across all city departments. Residents have seen this behavior up front and center at city council meetings.
The emails also talk about how employees feared professional retaliation if they file a complaint with HR against department or city leadership. The minute a complaint is filed the city begins actions to end that employee’s employment through any means necessary. That includes making up issues or actions to use against the employee.
We know in a recent meeting with public safety officials he questioned if the Fire Department really needed “ladder trucks” which shows his operational ignorance. Clearly his questioning shows a lack of operational infrastructure needed for basic emergency response. His dismissive attitude towards critical public safety equipment poses a direct threat to our communities welfare.
One email talked about staff development and how Pierson actively blocks the implementation of employee progression and career development. The city constantly changes care development plans to hold employees back.
This kind of behavior from one of the highest paid city managers in the nation is unacceptable. There is a severe contrast between his massive compensation package and his refusal to invest in staff progression which behind closed doors is crippling city operations. One email said a third-party investigation into management practices is needed to protect city employees and residents. It is the only way to ensure responsible governance.
When I receive one email I take it as employee frustration, but when I receive 3 in one week from different employees, different departments then it tells me there is an issue at city hall. That issue starts at the top with Wes Pierson as he sets the tone that flows downhill.
