Sales Tax are up 32% from last April, I wonder why

Chatter Box!

18:17--

BAShaun: LOL!

18:18--

l8nighter: yup, watching rangers game... last night was worst. game. ever.

18:18--

yesitsme: Ok... I was thinking of Black Widow. She's a 'spy' too.. and cracks safe In Iron Man or Avenger flick

18:18--

yesitsme: l8 humors me that way.

18:18--

yesitsme: Ohhhh sorry it was a bad game when you got to go

18:19--

BAShaun: LOL, good pitching I guess but yeh, meh

18:19--

l8nighter: had a great time but just a horrible horrible game. highlight was two double plays, rangers lose in shut out, darvish gets a loss.

18:19--

BAShaun: and he only allowed one run

18:20--

l8nighter: it wasnt even good pitching, darvish stunk big time.... today, its 3-0 in first ranger at bat, one hit, and two homeruns already

18:20--

BAShaun: he only had five hits didn't he?

18:20--

BAShaun: I didn't see how many balls

18:21--

l8nighter: i believe so, walked a bunch though, hit at least one, loaded em up once or twice.

18:21--

BAShaun: I meant walks not balls

18:21--

BAShaun:

icard:

18:22--

BAShaun: Picard to my Picard

18:22--

l8nighter: highlight was a guy from round rock in to pitch in the 9th... cott

18:23--

BAShaun: LOL

18:23--

l8nighter: todays starter is also up from aaa, wolf... 30-ish, used to pitch for oaklad, then wound up going back to double a, made it back to triple a, and gets back to the majors today, in his 30's, long hard fight back.

18:24--

BAShaun: that's pretty cool

18:24--

BAShaun: hopefully he does well

18:25--

l8nighter: he is in for tepish who had a boo-boo on his finger

18:30--

BAShaun: LMFAO l8!

20:02--

l8nighter: cotts continues to impress on the mound for the rangers today with two great innings.

20:04--

Longtimer: BAS, I'm still empty of info for the Chikfila funnyraiser guy. Is there a public data web link.....maybe something of the Forney Post, whatever?

20:04--

l8nighter: yeah, the forney post would have the facts

20:05--

l8nighter: the factual part of bas statement came from dallas county criminal records, you can google for website; the rest came from second hand hearsay and some stuff posted on 20pm a while back

20:10--

Longtimer: I looked at Dallas Co with no result and 20pm = Fpost. BAShaun sounded convincing this time. I did the public records search and nothing is there.

20:10--

l8nighter: its there at dallas county, no secret... possible typo on name or something, or you not looking right place

20:18--

Longtimer: I'll just have to believe ya both then. (nothing found). If he's such a bad guy how did he get Chikfila to do a fundraiser? Please tell me it ain't easy.

20:18--

yesitsme: it's easy.

20:18--

yesitsme: (and they don't get much depending how many come)

20:19--

yesitsme: Chili's does it too.. but not as easy.

20:20--

yesitsme: Did you see post from TravisRanchMom in that thread?

20:20--

Longtimer: "Mr. Chikfila manager, my internet is slow and causes me stress and indigestion" You mean like that easy?

20:20--

yesitsme: hahaha

20:20--

yesitsme: Maybe!

20:20--

Longtimer: yeah, she's a straight shooter too

20:20--

yesitsme: yea

20:21--

Longtimer: My confusion in this is that if he's such a shady guy, how the hell did he get a fundraiser. I guess it's just the sob story with no background check?

20:22--

yesitsme: I would say.

20:22--

Longtimer: maybe Chikfila mgr will rethink that after no one comes to buy anything?

20:22--

yesitsme: But.. even if there is a criminal record does that mean he can't have a fundraiser for an illness?

20:22--

yesitsme: It's done... wasn't that this past Monday?

20:22--

yesitsme: I'd just let the whole matta drop

20:23--

Longtimer: it was on the 20th and it was before that when i was asking

20:23--

yesitsme: true

20:24--

Longtimer: just my curiosity and confusion kept it going. I will move on...... (dam you tellin me to shut up & go away) hahahaa

20:24--

yesitsme: hah. I didn't mean YOU really. Just.. in general.

20:25--

yesitsme: Hey even 'bad' Bikers have fundraisers... usually at their watering hole

20:27--

yesitsme: It is what it is. I can see where the fam needed a little help, regardless of the guy.

20:29--

yesitsme: now shut up & go away.

20:45--

BAShaun: I have abackground check app on my phone as well and it shows related people and past addresses. Brandi, his wife is shown, and it shows him to have lived in many cities, including Forney.

20:46--

BAShaun: I doubt chik fil a does background checks on everyone they do a fundraiser for

21:54--

Gonzo: Man, you guys are obsessing over that Lester deal

22:35--

yesitsme: Don't say "you guys" .. I am certainly not. Whatever I put here today has been the extent of it - and it was brief.

23:04--

l8nighter: f9 just posted this.... http://inforney.com/home/local-news/item/1113-city-of-forney-receives-first-pass-through-toll-reimbursement-for-major-construction-projects

23:05--

l8nighter: makes the default by forney and the pate lawsuit more understandable.... resulted in more money to forney and faster bond repayment.

23:06--

l8nighter: its also funny how much obama admins hate the first and second amendments, but boy oh boy, they love that fifth amendment

23:41--

yesitsme: So.. tell me if this is right. The lawsuit cost us about $800k.. now, minus the extra $500k, the cost to us is about $300k - so far - to get rid of Pate?

23:42--

yesitsme: ... and that doesn't even consider the earlier tax savings to citizens.

Well the sales tax is up 32% since last April, can anyone guess why? Forney Economic Development Corporation said this may have a lot to do with Beer and Wine sales...

Up $71,000 from last year!

NateDogg OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Karma: 18	I was going to say, don't forget we've added places like THT and Lazy J too, but Beer and Wine are probably a bigger chunk of that. This increase won't solve the overall problems with the low city budgets, but every bit helps. That is $71k more than we had last year! And now Forney residents are buying their beer here instead of other cities.

Oh yeah, I can testify to that. I've accumulated quite a few punch cards at the businesses at Kickapoo Trace.
