i could reverse troll LL. i'm just not gonna do it. Originally Posted by pxmcc

Calling your bullshit out is not "trolling" ... it's correcting the fake/fictional "record" you continually attempt to generate with your outrageous claims to "academic" and "legal" superiority!

Pssst....the "ladies" you attempt to impress no better!

SC gets banned but you and tryveryweakly are still here? wtf.

i guess i trigger you somehow? and why do you think i'm trying to impress anyone? gnadfly trolled me in several posts so i did 1 reverse troll and left it at that. i really don't need to add to my collection of troll groupies. imma stand pat if that's ok with you..

anyone else want to be designated eccie's honorary troll magnet? im kinda done with it. anyone like to volunteer? cool thing is you always get to be the center of attention and your threads always go viral, so there's that..

Still not seeing any numbers released by the city or county. My guess is the last 3 months have been devastating from a tax revenue standpoint. Not as devastating as NYC or CA but where is Harris County going to get the money? I did file a property tax protest.

Only one way to get the money

$ 150 billion is coming from the federal government

My property tax protest was successful. Lowered it approximately 9%

City Council will hold a May 27 hearing on the proposed FY 2021 budget and consider the budget for adoption on June 3.
The new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2020.

The city and county and state made the choice to shut everything down. Let them scrounge for the fucking money.

Furloughing 3,000 municipal employees for a maximum of 10 days saving the City $7 million. Fire, police and those who collect trash and recyclables will not be impacted.

If this is all the pain these COH employees feel, they're damn lucky. Are those 10 days covered by the Feds? Sure isn't much time for the budget to be proposed and then adopted.

About a week or so ago....HPD Chief puts out a letter to staff to have them start writing more traffic violation tickets.
The purpose was first to increase revenue and second to increase the chance of finding illegal weapons in vehicles, drugs and etc.

From what I hear the rank an file will not participate.
The reason:
Why catch them if they are just going to be let go.

Lemme guess, white cops aren't going to risk their jobs stopping nonwhite motorists even with outstanding warrants so the city can raise 100-200 bucks pop. The judge isn't even showing up and some other judge may release them. Some of them are murderers, rapists and not good at social distancing.
