Alright, grab your popcorn —this one has all the makings of a classic Frisco Chronicles feature: money, media, and that familiar scent of roses wafting through the pages of the Dallas Morning News.
All Good in the Frisco Hood: Brought to You by… Medium Giant?
By now, longtime Frisco residents have noticed a curious phenomenon. Whenever the Dallas Morning News (DMN) writes about Frisco, the city sparkles. Streets are shinier. Leadership is visionary. Problems? What problems? If Frisco had potholes, DMN would probably call them “community engagement craters designed to slow traffic and save lives.”
Which raises the obvious question: why does Frisco always smell like roses in the DMN? Not weeds. Not smoke. Roses.
For years, residents have speculated. Maybe DMN is afraid of being cut off from exclusives. Maybe access journalism is alive and well. Or maybe—just maybe—it’s about the oldest motivator in local government and media alike: Money.
Enter Stage Left: Medium Giant
Here’s where things get interesting. A sharp-eyed reader recently connected a few dots that deserve a closer look. The Frisco Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) has entered into several contracts over the years with a company called Medium Giant.
Whose Medium Giant, you ask?
They’re an “integrated creative marketing agency.” Which is marketing-speak for we make things look good. Even better? Medium Giant just happens to be the sister company of the Dallas Morning News.
Cue the dramatic music. So now the question isn’t why DMN never seems to publish critical reporting on Frisco or its leadership. The question becomes: would they dare?
Follow the Money (Because It Always Tells a Story)
When we reviewed city check registers, we noticed multiple payments over the years made to Medium Giant. Not chump change. Not lunch money. Not “oops, forgot to expense that Uber.”
The total? $2,105,631.76
That’s over two million dollars paid by Frisco entities to a company tied directly to the same organization responsible for shaping Frisco’s public narrative in one of North Texas’ largest newspapers.
Now, we’re not saying this proves corruption. We’re not saying there’s a secret smoky backroom with editors and city staff clinking champagne glasses. We’re not even saying there’s an explicit quid pro quo.
What we are saying is this: If you were the DMN, would you risk torching a relationship connected—directly or indirectly—to a $2 million revenue stream by publishing hard-hitting, unvarnished reporting about Frisco’s leadership, finances, or controversies?
Hit Pieces for Some, Rose Petals for Others
What makes this dynamic even more eyebrow-raising is DMN’s recent track record. The paper has shown it’s perfectly willing to publish aggressive, sometimes glowing-less-than-rose-scented coverage of candidates who fall outside the Frisco inner circle.
Just ask: Jennifer White, Mark Piland, John Redmond
Funny how the gloves come off for political outsiders, but stay neatly folded when it comes to City Hall, current council members, and current city leadership.
Journalism, Marketing, or a Blurred Line?
Let’s be clear: Medium Giant being a marketing firm isn’t inherently wrong. Cities hire marketing agencies all the time. But when the marketing arm and the newsroom live under the same corporate roof, the public has every right to question whether the coverage they’re reading is journalism… or brand management.
Because from where residents sit, the pattern looks less like watchdog reporting and more like: “Frisco: Presented by Medium Giant, distributed by DMN.”
Final Thought
Transparency isn’t just about open records and posted agendas. It’s also about who controls the narrative—and who’s being paid behind the scenes while that narrative is shaped.
Two million dollars isn’t small change. It’s not accidental. And it certainly isn’t irrelevant.
So the next time you read a glowing DMN article telling you everything in Frisco is just peachy, ask yourself: Is this news… or is this advertising with better grammar?

Frisco Chronicles has received multiple complaints from residents of Meadow Hill Estates after an email landed in what appears to be every single email inbox in the community. The message, sent from a Gmail account — StopMillerAutomotive@gmail.com — urged residents to vote in the Frisco Special Election for Ann Anderson.
The writer of the email openly states “I spoke to this candidate about our issue” which is problematic since he never gave the other candidate a chance to share their view on the community’s issue. Based on one conversation with only one candidate you then send an email to your entire community telling them how to VOTE? Did the writer of this email do any research into other projects where citizens objected to something nearby their home and if Ann Anderson supported it.
For example, Universal Kids! Ann Anderson spoke on 2/7/2023 in FAVOR of Universal Studios. She ignored the numerous residents who lived in Cobb Hill and throughout Frisco, that came out and said they did not want a theme park that close to their community because of the noise, traffic and potential crime it could bring. Ask residents today if it has affected their home values in that community and how many Airbnb’s now exist there. She said at the forum the other day we need to be mindful of where we place projects near communities and used the hospital power plant as an example, yet she was in Favor of Universal Kids which is going to have roller coasters looking into people’s backyard! Her words and actions – DON’T MATCH!
That raised an obvious question residents can’t shake: How does a random Gmail account suddenly have the private email addresses of an entire neighborhood?
Not a Guessing Game — It’s a Privacy Issue
Residents aren’t speculating for sport. They’re concerned because there are only a few realistic ways someone could obtain a complete HOA email list:
Through HOA records
Through property management systems
Through board-level access to resident data
Those email addresses are not public information. They are collected for official HOA business, not political campaigning.
From the complaints we received, many residents believe the sender may be a current HOA board member or someone with inside access to HOA records.
The Meadow Hills Estates Facebook Page Raises More Questions
Adding fuel to the fire, residents pointed us to the Meadow Hill Estates Facebook page, which states it is “run by volunteers.” That page has posted about Miller Automotive on December 10, 2025 and several other times throughout the past year.
The overlap between the campaign email content and the Facebook posts has residents asking whether the same individual — or group — is behind both. And if so, how much access do they really have?
HOA Data Is Not Personal Property
Here’s the part that matters most. If a board member obtained residents’ email addresses solely because of their position, those addresses are HOA property, not personal contacts. Using them for anything outside official HOA business — especially electioneering — is widely considered improper and, in many cases, explicitly prohibited.
HOA board members have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the association — not personal political agendas. Using confidential resident data to influence a city election crosses a line that residents say should never be blurry.
Texas Attorney General Complaint Incoming
According to one Meadow Hill Estates resident, a formal complaint is being filed with the Texas Attorney General regarding the use of private HOA data for political purposes. That makes this more than neighborhood drama — it’s a legal and ethical issue.
We Reached Out to 4Sight Property Management
Frisco Chronicles contacted 4Sight Property Management, which oversees Meadow Hill Estates, asking the following: Did your company approve or authorize this email? Do you have rules or policies governing how HOA board members may use resident contact information? What safeguards exist to prevent misuse of confidential HOA data? We are currently awaiting their response and will update readers when one is received.
The Bigger Question
This isn’t about whether someone supports Ann Anderson or opposes Miller Automotive. It’s about trust. Residents trusted their HOA to safeguard their personal information — not turn it into a campaign mailing list. We hope Ann Anderson herself did not know about this email because if she did that it could be problematic also.
Until someone explains who hit “send” and how they had the power to do it, Meadow Hill Estates residents are left wondering whether their HOA is protecting them… or politicking with their privacy.
Stay tuned. Frisco Chronicles will follow this story wherever it leads.

Something curious is making its way through the quiet cul-de-sacs and HOA-lined streets of Frisco, Texas. No, it’s not another pizza coupon or a glossy mailer featuring a smiling city councilmember holding a bulldozer. This is something far more… poetic. Mysterious. And, depending on your reading, slightly unhinged.
We’re talking about the letters—written in a flowing, subtle cursive that feels like a mash-up between Jane Austen and a B-movie villain monologue. One such letter arrived in the mailbox of a former council member. Then, they texted it to a friend, and the friend asked, “Can we send this to Frisco Whistleblower?” Next thing you know, we have a “You’ve Got Mail!” notice!
It opens like this:
Well, well, well… Thought you were being careful, didn’t you? A whispered word here, a sneaky move there — so subtle, so clever. But here’s the thing, darling: nothing stays hidden forever. Especially not when we’re all watching.
Ah, the classic tone of someone who just finished binge-watching House of Cards and decided to give the calligraphy font a whirl.
The second paragraph sharpens the tone, sharpening its verbal knives:
We know what you’ve been doing. All the schemes, the backdoor deals to collaborate or protect, every dagger wrapped in a smile. You thought you would get away. But the cracks are showing, and the truth? It’s crawling right up behind you.
If this sounds like something you’d expect from a disgruntled screenwriter trying to get back at a former HOA president, you’re not alone.
It continues:
Whispers have become conversations. Conversations are turning into confessions. And let’s just say … receipts have a way of resurfacing when you least expect them. Even with VPNs and modern methods to shield oneself. Tick-tock. Your time is almost up. And when the fallout comes? No one will be left to clean up your mess. Actions have consequences, sweetheart. And yours are finally catching up, courtesy of Ms. Jamie Heit. We might not know her, but we love her. XOXO – Frisco.
Cue dramatic music. Okay, we actually laughed instead.
Now, about that name-drop. We’re confident Jamie Heit didn’t co-sign her name or give approval to someone to use her name in what could best be described as a mash note from a petty godmother of vengeance. But hey, this is Frisco, where political affection and shade often share the same cocktail napkin.
Will Jamie sue them? Try to depose whoever’s scribbling love threats with a cursive fine point font? Probably not. Especially if the sender is a devoted admirer of her work and is just a few unsent letters away from crafting a shrine.
Here at Frisco Whistleblower, we believe in publishing our letters, not licking stamps to send thinly veiled threats via the U.S. Postal Service. Our readers? They email us and comment openly, and don’t hide behind RBG stamps. They don’t channel Emily Dickinson meets Dexter in cursive and drop lingering lines in the mail.
But this strange week isn’t just about letters. It’s also been one filled with Hikois being written (shoutout to whoever resurrected that word) and declarations of love for local political figures being sealed with metaphorical kisses.
If you do receive one of these letters, we encourage you to:
Keep the letter and envelope.
File a report with Frisco PD.
Consider reading it aloud with dramatic lighting and a glass of wine on Facebook Live, because, frankly, it’s kind of a performance art piece.
And now, to close this odd dispatch from the frontlines of Frisco mailboxes, we leave you with a poem — a collection of words that mean everything and nothing, much like the letters themselves:
A Poem of Unknown Words The ink remembers what the lips forget, Dandelion silence in a whisper-net. Shadow sewn to sunshine’s hem, Pages curled like lies at 10 p.m.
Umbrella thoughts in moonlit code, Spoken softly down Morse Road. Blink twice, and secrets bloom — In cursive threats and sweet perfume.
Since the release of the now-infamous Toxic Tammy Tapes, we’ve seen just about every excuse imaginable tossed into the public arena to discredit them:
They’re fake.
They’re deepfakes.
They’re AI-generated.
They’re illegally recorded.
They’ve been “heavily edited.”
There’s an “ongoing investigation” into them by Frisco PD
But here’s the thing: in Frisco, when someone’s caught saying the quiet parts in a safe space out loud, suddenly the how/why/when it was recorded becomes more important than what was actually said.
Even spouses of current Frisco City Council members have taken to social media soapboxes, proclaiming—without evidence—that some shadow investigation is under way. “Illegally recorded tapes!” they cry. Well, we filed a Public Information Request (PIR) with the Frisco Police Department over 10 days ago asking if there was any investigation into the origin, legality, or content of the recordings.
So far? Crickets.
How Did We Get The Tapes
How did we get the tapes? Simple. An insider—tired of the two-faced politics, of the backroom manipulation, of the fake smiles and public gaslighting—decided the people of Frisco deserved better. They handed us the recording because they trusted us to tell the truth, and that’s exactly what we did. Again, we want to make it clear that it was not a candidate for Place 4, but it was someone within the person’s circle and from what we understand that could be a lot of people.
We made a few promises when we were approached about the tapes. The first was to remove the voice of the second person, we did! We did not know at the time how difficult that would be and time consuming because we did not want to alter the message communicated. The second request was to remove the identifiable background music we did! The third request was from the source who delivered the tapes to protect them, we did! We will say the source proved to us how they received the tape and the conversation they had about the tape being released to Whistleblower. We can say nothing illegal was done, how it was obtained was not illegal and it was not recorded in any way that was illegal.
With that mutual agreement … We had the tape. It is very real. It is raw. And now, they have been fully transcribed, verified, and timestamped throughout.
How Were The Tapes Transcribed:
We ran the recordings through Otter.ai, which created the first draft of the transcript. Then we did what no AI or spin machine can do: we sat down, put on the headphones, and listened very closely to every inch of the conversation again. All of it. Start to finish. We painstakingly cross-checked each statement, verified speaker identities, and confirmed the accuracy of every quote.
In places where the background noise (music, clinking water glasses, running water or fountain sound) made things tough to hear, we noted it. We didn’t guess. We didn’t fill in blanks. We kept it honest—because the truth doesn’t need editing.
Why We’re Releasing It:
After much debate with our team, we have decided to release the transcript of the whole recording because it does not violate any of the three things we promised. We also feel the reputation of FriscoChronicles was put on the line and we have always been above board. We understand from the public perspective it appears the recording was released with selective leaks which could appear to have been a politically motivated spin, and we can assure you that was not the case. We release things when we get them and after we confirm the info to be factual. We released the tapes less than 2 days after we received them and after we confirmed them – business as usual.
Truthfully, citizens deserve to know what was said, who said it, and the context in which it happened. Tammy Meinershagen claims to represent our values on the City Council.
And Now… The Backstory We Received
Everything has a backstory, and we are going to share what we were told as it adds to the context in our opinion. The meeting occurred sometime in January of 2025, and it was Tammy Meinershagen who reached out to Voice #2 asking for the meeting. After offering to meet at a local restaurant it was Tammy Meinershagen who insisted on coming to the home of Voice #2.
The context given for the meeting was that Tammy was hoping to advise her on her campaign and help answer any questions (good or bad) the candidate may have. At this point several “cabal leaders” had already reached out to this candidate and told them not to run. Why? It would hurt Gopal who was running for the same seat. The candidate had already made the decision to run and was not going to change their mind or back down and when Tammy reached out the candidate was excited that someone actually wanted to give campaign advice and offer clarification on things they may not understand about the process.
The day Meinershagen came over, the candidate took notes with a note pad and had the phone on the table recording it so they could fill in the blanks later of anything they missed. No evil intent behind it!
A few sources have told us (we have not had this confirmed by the candidate) that it was the direction the conversation went that first upset the candidate and while she didn’t tell Tammy at the time, she felt when it was over that Tammy had been very derogatory to her people, and others and that she had never seen Tammy wish such venom. The candidate felt this was another attempt to for someone to come over and to tell her not to run because it was constantly about “splitting the votes” and that would hurt Gopal. Things progressed in the election cycle and the candidate moved forward running for office and that was the end of it.
Now that is all we were given as backstory, we don’t know more than that but it does align with what we heard in the conversation.
Diving Into The Transcript
Part 1: Small Talk about Place 4
Part 2: Talk about Place 2
After talking about who may or may not be running in Place 4, Tammy stated she believes she will have some opponents, too. The candidate, surprised, asked who? Tammy says, well, first of Sai “Idiot Sia” … she was not prompted to say that. She was not lured into calling Mr. Krishna an idiot. She said what she believed! Why? Because she thought she was in a safe space to speak the TRUTH! Up to this point, there had been no name-calling of any candidates or potential candidates – Tammy threw the first flame! Oh, and Tammy continued to throw the flames without any leading questions or being tricked into saying anything.
The truth is Voice #2 – The Candidate, got quiet when the conversation turned, which matches what we were told, that she was surprised at where the conversation went.
We invite you to read the transcript for yourself. Don’t let someone else think for you – find the link at the end of the blog.
You Decide
It goes on, and on, and on! In our opinion, Tammy was not led into any of her statements. They were said of her own free will, they are her thoughts and she made the choice to say it! I think the candidate whom she was speaking to that day learned some things about her Friend that she didn’t like. Tammy’s true colors began to show and anyone would wonder – what does she say about me when I am not around?
Personally, while everyone is condemning “the recorder” or the person who transferred it to us, we think they deserve a community applause. As voters we have the right to hold our city leaders accountable and to a certain level of professionalism. We also have the right to know what they truly think of the population they represent.
What the South Asian or Desi community needs to understand is that their VOTE for Tammy Meinershagen contributes to this continued behavior. They have only shown up to get your donations or your vote – where are they the rest of the time? Are they attending your HOA meetings, are they showing up late to the festivals, just have to have their picture taken at the end to say “we were here!”
That is how it appears to most of us and honestly if the South Asian community is not offended by that – then let us know so we are not offended for you. We are going to let you decide! The full transcript is just as bad as the shortened portions we published earlier. In fact, we think its worse because you clearly see this is who Tammy Meinershagen is.
We could call out her supporters and their attempt to discredit, hurt, and attack Burt Thakur, another South Asian, and Jared Elad to help you forget about the tapes, but we won’t!
Before you believe the latest PR PUSH to blame AI, or that she was tricked into her comments read it and come to your own conclusions. At Frisco Chronicles, we believe sunlight is the best disinfectant. And this, dear readers, is one hell of a toxic spill.
Please excuse any typos or grammatical errors on the transcript, we did not want to change what was transcribed. We only made sure it matched the recording and that the statements were assigned to the right person.
Frisco, Texas has been the poster child for suburban prosperity, but according to our Mayor it is now experiencing a notable shift as residents pack up and head elsewhere. Just days before the May 3rd election, an article stated that said “Cheney is drawing attention to a surprising trend: Frisco residents are leaving the city in search of more vibrant arts and entertainment options.
Shocking! Right? After all, when they wanted to approve all of these “GRAND DEVELOPMENTS” the last ten years all we heard from Cheney and the council was that these would create a “HALO EFFECT” that would bring more to Frisco. In fact, Community Impact did an article on the 2 year mark of the PGA in 2024 titled “HALO EFFECT” from PGA touches north Frisco development, provides boost to local economy.
In the article they quote Mayor Cheney as saying, “Because of this halo effect and the investments, … this region is going to be second to none for destination retail, dining, shopping, all the office parks, and likely that part of our city will develop 20 years faster than it otherwise would have,” Cheney said. The article went on to say, “Multiple large developments and projects coming to Frisco are a result of the PGA’s success, Cheney said. This includes the Universal Kids Resort theme park, Fields West mixed-use development, and the Firefly Park mixed-use development.” Then the article quoted our own Frisco Chamber CEO, Christal Howard, “The halo effect is not just for multimillion-dollar developments. We talk a lot about all the new businesses that come as a result of a relocation, like the PGA headquarters, but the effect on the current businesses is important too,” Howard said.
Can you imagine our surprise then to residents when all of the sudden we hear they are leaving Frisco, sound the “ALARM BELLS” to voters! On April 25th, The Local Profile released an article titled “Why Frisco Keeps Losing Big Business Deals To Nashville” and after reading it we thought, what happened to that Halo Effect you were talking about Mr. Cheney?
The article quotes Mayor Cheney as saying, “The story nobody ever hears are the deals we have lost, there have been some painful Fortune 500 losses we thought we had. It seems the last few years every major deal comes down to Frisco and Nashville, and unfortunately, Nashville has been beating us out on these deals.” It goes on to say, “The reason is strikingly consistent. The common thread is companies that want their employees to have access to arts and culture. The exit interviews all sound the same… Frisco has it all… except for that.”
Then just days later on April 29th, The Local Profile produces another story title, “The Biggest Reason People Leave Frisco, According To Mayor Jeff Cheney” and the article mentions a study that confirms what residents already know! The article states, “A key part of the city’s case is backed by a detailed analysis commissioned by Visit Frisco and conducted by consumer analytics firm Buxton.” Apparently, Frisco commissioned the study to better understand what draws people to — and away from — the city. Cheney believes this data backs up what many have felt for years. “The Center for the Arts solves this by retaining and attracting visitors, whose spending will strengthen our tax base and support our public services. It’s a win-win for residents, whether you’re an arts enthusiast or not.”
OH MY GAWD – SOUND THE ALARM! THE SKY IS FALING THE, THE SKY IS FALLING ACCORDING TO CHICKEN LITTLE! Media outlets started to pick up the story and it was featured on the news! Businesses are leaving Frisco!
We immediately wanted to see this study, so we started looking at the City’s Website for the Performing Arts Center, the hub for residents to find out the latest information. Nope, not there! Then we checked the Frisco EDC and found a study in 2024, but it was not the one quoted by Cheney in the article. We forgot all about it after the resounding VOTE NO election until we were flipping through the City Facebook page the other night, watching some of the Frisco City Council “Council Recap” videos. We came across a recap video from February 4th that includes Mayor Jeff Cheney, Tammy Meinershagen, and Bill Woodard.
In that recap video, Tammy talks about “THE STUDY” done by Buxton … IN 2019! Excuse me, did you say … 2019? Mayor Jeff Cheney used a study that is over 7 years old to go have the local media run a story in 2025. Headlines read, “WE ARE LOSING BIG BUSINESS,” but they failed to mention it was based on a study done in 2019. I would assume any major or reputable outlet would have a copy of the study quoted in their article. Not! Did they knowingly publish the article and withhold how old the study was? Think about it, 7 years ago, the pre-COVID era, and that since then, things may have … CHANGED!
If that is not MISLEADING or MISREPRESENTING the TRUTH DIRECTLY TO VOTERS AND RESIDENTS, then what is? It was the justification they used for all of us as residents to vote and SAVE FRISCO! We found a Buxton PDF online (click here) with the Visit Frisco logo.
The study used GPS data, gathered from mobile devices, and Buxton geo-fenced all hotels and major attractions, tracking over 54.8 million location pings and identifying 2.6 million unique visits within one year. The findings were clear: Frisco residents show high volumes of traffic at nearby lifestyle destinations like Legacy West, and those same residents are also far more likely to visit entertainment venues such as the Toyota Music Factory and Lava Cantina. This pattern signals a strong local appetite for mixed-use developments that include arts and entertainment components. “The data indicates that any complementary entertainment venue(s) in or around such spaces would also have a high rate of utilization among Frisco residents.”
QUESTION: HOW IS A $360 MILLION PERFORMING ARTS CENTER A COMPLEMENTARY VENUE TO LAVA CATINA AND TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY?
Oh wait, it’s not! They left that part out of the data results, too! This was a clear, concise and manipulated lie to voters to “get what they wanted!” Every single council member supporting the Frisco Arts Center should be held up on ethics charges for misleading and lying to the public. It should also be investigated as voter intimidation because if they influenced anyone’s vote based on a 7-year-old study from 2019, without disclosing that. Residents should be asking “What The Hell Is Going On In Frisco?”
On top of that, Tammy has been spreading rumors that the tapes we released with her own comments were altered; she was lured into making those comments, or they were created by AI. Again, she lies! Soon we will prove that too! Stay tuned for that! How many more times will Tammy Meinershagen and council members LIE TO US?
I went to her to ask for help with an issue my child that was getting nowhere with the school,…
So whatever became of the $17 million dollars that the city council gave the Mayor to beautify a drainage ditch?
At last count, there are 3 different "spa/massage" businesses in the small office park at the northeast corner of John…
I literally just saw this. Yeah, she used to forward everybody’s emails behind their backs.
You're dropping truth bombs! These mom and pop shops are what should be the least of Karen's worries. If they…
