Glenn Johnson

Our blessings and prayers go out to Mayor Glenn Johnson, who died yesterday. We have been told he had cancer and put up a hell of a fight, just like he is a fighter. 

Glenn was known as a quiet fighter and a fighter for the little guy. His blood bled purple as he was always proud and honored to be the leader of one of the football strongholds in Texas, if not the United States. 

We knew Glenn well here at the Review. And if Glenn had a bone to pick with us, he would walk through the front doors and give his side, then we would laugh and tell stories. He never even held anything against anyone. Maybe some pols need to remember that. 

Johnson was one of those heroes that you hear everyone talk about. When the storms came, he was first back into his communities. No lights. Okay. A plant blows up. Okay. He accepted things for how they were. 

Our hats off to our good friend Glenn Johnson. Ride high, sir. Ride proud. We all have it from here!

Bond Boys

Now we know they are desperate. They have formed a new committee to support the bond and “oversee” it. All 200 million dollars. And what gets us here at the Review is that bond will dump on a $100,000 house, just over $240 more in taxes a month (in the end), which will suck millions out of an already stalled community in Southeast Texas. 

We have tried to warn everyone by showing you what happened in the $27 million Nederland school bond. 

First, houses are not being sold at the pace they were five years ago, when taxes were lower. It is fun to watch our politicos say they DROPPED THE TAX RATE! Only to next admit that the appraisal district RAISED THE RATE ON YOUR HOME. So a higher base rate on homes, levied with a tax rate that is lower, equals HIGHER TAXES. In fact, in the five-county area in Southeast Texas, there have been l23 buildings or homes that have seen a lower appraisal on their home or business. And those were weather-related. 

Second, businesses are empty and not able to sustain taxes, both inventory and property, most have risen almost 100% in the last five years. And the spending continues. 

Lastly, they always want more for feel-good projects. Look in their budgets and you can see that they are already spending 20x more on feel-good projects! Really, it is too funny that they want pickleball in a dead downtown. They have not even selected a location yet! But trust them, right?

So off we go to see who is on the “BOND COMMITTEE.” Here they are, kids:

• Dr. John Adolph – We like him, but will he do what is in the best interests of Beaumont?
• Brad Brown – CPA, and frankly, we are unsure of this guy. 
• Tania Castelan – Real Estate, and she is going to rah rah hire taxes. Wow!
• Justin Doss – President of Baptist Hospital. Why? Really why?
• James Andrew Edwards – Another insurance guy. Salesman. Ugh…
• John Eugene – Engineer at Motiva, a black man, nominated by Turner. Nice guy. 
• Guy Goodson (Chair) – A lawyer from the old school. Political in nature – we like him. 
• Don King – Project manager at Fitz and Shipman. Sigh…
• Arthur Louis – We do not like this guy, as he is a con artist in our opinion. 
• Frank Messina – Who doesn’t like Frank Messina? A great guy. 
• J. Pat Parsons – Former banker, mover and shaker in the city, old school. Nah…
• LaShon Proctor – Ran for mayor, lost. Works on dead people, won. Sigh…
• Terry Roy – Ran for mayor, was a horrible candidate, another sigh…
• Gigi Sotolongo Mazzola – Works support for heart doctors. Sigh…
• Roy Steinhagen – We love this guy. Former GOP chair and a good friend of the mayor.
• Dr. Jaime Taylor – Lamar University President. Why?
• Daylyn Turner – VP JK Car Dealers Nederland. He knows how people got screwed.
• Dr. Sid Valentine – Another Lamar guy. Why? Sigh…
• Fred Zeno – Insurance and tax guy.

Now you may ask, like we do, what in the hell are these people doing on a bond committee? They are all from the rich and famous of Beaumont, or academia? There is nobody on the bond committee from the general public, the small business community, or even maybe the Restaurant Community that is closing stores as fast as they can due to the economic crisis, like they are not welcome.

Again, it is the arrogance of those who sit on the council. You get a bunch of millionaires and Political people on some committee, and then expect the average Joe to follow them? Maybe the mayor and council get that the average Joe will vote down PICKLEBALL. The average Joe will vote down a ditch in downtown. The average Joe would say fix our city of crime, street repair, water and sewer, and get the fire union under control. It is costing MILLIONS now, and now you want to cost us MORE MILLIONS?

No friends, you cannot make this stuff up. It is so far beyond dysfunctional you can taste it.

Let’s see what happens! We are betting the bond fails. Why? The people are now being taxed at 65% in Beaumont. No, you say? Well, yes, we say. Adding up all taxes, the common rate for those who make $50,000 a year is now 65% of every dollar. 

Game over. Bond fails, and these folks have that on their resumes now. 

Candi-o Part Two

How about some laughs on this Sunday! Meet this lady – she calls herself CANDICE MATHEWS and she lives in a secret home. She is a COMMUNITY ACTIVIST CREATED BY THE MEDIA – or so she says and acts like she is. Actually, what she is – is a loud-mouthed bitch that lies to the community and acts like anything but a lady. She is a racist and attacks, and we think she extorts others for her own self-enjoyment. Actually, again, we believe that her behaviors show she is mentally ill. She screams, she yells, she posts horrible comments about others, and finally, she acts like a silly bully on the internet. 

So we did a story on her a week or two ago. She didn’t like our story. Part of which is her claim that she is a Doctor (DR) of something. So we dug into it and found out she is the doctor of nothing. She lies. She did not work to get her HONORARY DEGREE. She is an uneducated nothing. Just a bully.

So CANDI-O got mad like a little child and posted this:

A complaint to whom? Look at who owns this company, you dumb twit. This company is owned by Klein and Associates and has nothing to do with the sister companies owned by Mr. Klein. Candi-o just committed a class A Misd. So when our sister company gets the complaint, she will be charged with a criminal offense. IF SHE DID IT AT ALL. 

Candi-o once again has proven she is an uneducated bitch who knows nothing. You see, when you are a racist. In fact, not only does she not know what she is even talking about, but we want you to read this:

Because we and our editor dare to call her out on her lies and suggestions on sitting DEMOCRATIC candidates (not republican) like a dumb ass, as she has suggested that the judge she is going after in Jefferson County is a republican? Which is not true. What is true is she challenged a Jefferson County JP based upon lies, from the now Congressional Candidate Thurman “Toot Coke Up The Nose” Bartee, and got her ass thrown out in some type of complaint. In fact, from what we can tell from her complaints and lawsuits, she has filed over 20 complaints and lawsuits and lost them all. We cannot find one win. 

How dumb can you get? Because someone challenged her lies on her FACEBOOK PAGE, and she suggests that some other company and person make comments on her, she can file an illegal complaint (falsify government documents). Nobody is THAT STUPID. NOBODY. 

Now we want you to notice that she did not file any lawsuits or notices against us here at the Review (Klein and Associates). Why? She knows that when you prick the wrong beesnest, you get stung. We suggest you research (with your lawyer, of course) DTPA, TCPA, and other Statutes around Texas and the Federal Statutes. Why? We want you to sue us. So bad we can taste it. Why? Discovery will be WAY TOO MUCH FUN! We will go so far up your illegal project’s ass and your fake “Dr.” crap, your head will spin off. 

However, for you, our 100,000 page views a day readers, it will be fun! Watch us slice up this dumb racist that calls herself a “Dr.” and enjoy this ride. We guess is that she is going to run away as fast as she can!

Doc, the 1st amendment for public people has a way of shitting in your backyard. We are fixing to teach you dear.  Get your checkbook out and enjoy the ride. 

Here is a sample of her CACBM work – don’t laugh too hard, as we are told she lost this case too:
