You don't see my name on the grant because I wrote the grant with Lisa Mitchell (the then City Secretary) please feel free to call her and verify. When Texas Parks and Wildlife called and told us they had added an item that made it so BV no longer qualified which was out of our hands, they asked us to reapply the next year.
In the meantime the grant writer was hired by Council and I resigned, which you no doubt know because you and your cronies played quite a part in that. When the time came for the grant the next year, the new grant writer and a member of then City Council called to ask if they minded if they used my grant information from the year before and just changed out the necessary dated material. Since I've tried to help this city repeatedly, I agreed and gave them my information. So just because YOU don't see my name on it, doesn't mean I didn't write it. Once again YOUR LIES & you have no idea what you're talking about. The grant was for $140,000 for which the city would have never seen a cent had I not written and applied for the grant to begin with.
What happened after I left with how much a grant writer was paid or how the grant was handled has nothing to do with me. So don't EVER accuse me of lying again because you and Ms. Eshelman have a lot of crap to hide like falsifying police chief's signatures on documents (it was an accident BS), using city equipment to assist an outside vendor to file a complaint against a sitting Alderman or the over $20,000 the City had to pay Ms. Eshelman when she retired as City Secretary for unused PTO that no one could account for but her and the list goes on. Executive Sessions only hide so much.
You want to go down this road Vaun of patting yourself on the back. Why don't you expand on how you chose to sign off on the docs for the roads because you failed to file the necessary FEMA paperwork 30 days before the final due date of payment and then had no recourse when payment day came and instead left the city with roads that are a disaster.
My moral compass is damn straight, how is yours? Do you want to deny she was part of the investigation into misappropriated funds? That would be a lie too. Yes, I'm sure she did cooperate. I would too if I knew the DA was on my tail and it was my signature on some of the checks. But of course, you don't want the newbies to know about that and are hoping all of those that were here will just let it be forgotten.
It's time to get off your wagon and wake up from your dream. Ms. Eshelman was a disgrace during this disaster, you no longer run this city and people are tired of you and another previous Alderman acting like you're the only ones who know anything or do anything.
You don't have to worry about replying and defending her any more. I won't be back on this message board. I've stayed completely out of City business since I resigned (unlike you) until someone started giving kudos to the Mayor for things the City wouldn't even have if I hadn't written the grant for the City to get the money to begin with.
So please continue to pat yourself on the back, you are a shining example of what's wrong with BV.
