BISD JAAAAZZZ
Now this is funny. No really, this is funny.
BISD Superintendant and the Mayor of Beaumont are running through the churches preaching the gospel of failure in the BISD district. And we now have it captured on tape for you to watch. And we shall play it for you now. As we play it for you, please remember that of all the schools in BISD, over 80% of the schools are failing in the basics of reading, writing, and math. And with that watch this and read out the comments after:
ARE YOU KIDDING US? They are asking for a break in the tax ceiling and what do you get? Higher taxes but they are selling it as your taxes will not go up. That is like Nederland ISD saying you will pay no more in taxes, but when the appraisal district did their thing, like we said, the actual taxes went up by over 49% resulting in the average home in Nederland paying just over 800 more a year. Do you remember the KARENS of Nederland saying that it would only cost the average home $87 a year more in taxes? THEY LIED.
Here is your deal friends – you have to know that this is not about security and paying teachers more. This is about waste in government and the top-heavy BISD staff that has no idea what they are doing. This is about what is happening in the BISD system – which has not changed. This is about taking your money and wasting more of it in a failing district.
We just cannot understand.
Lamar Football’s Last Run
And so it goes: This is Lamar University’s last run at a football season this year, and it started well.
Rumors have run that Lamar had great hype about starting back up in football. They spent millions of dollars, and built boxes and stands. The rich and famous got the boxes and spent their hard-earned money on sitting in the hot sun and the team was losing. Now, it seems that someone woke up at Lamar (play on words).
Now Lamar is 1-0. They have a new coach that is seemingly funded and serious. He has a good group of kids playing and now Lamar may change courses and keep the program.
“The guys were told that they will be history. Either Lamar becomes a winning team or the university will be closing down the program and they do not want to be part of that. So, they have worked and they look great,” said one insider in the program.
“We have money. We have players and we have a plan with the coaches and staff. We are ready to show that we can play football and beat good teams,” said the source.
And we agree. Lamar needs football to recruit great students and make the campus a destination, not a local commuter campus. And that is exciting to think about – but they have to clean up the neighborhood around them. If they do not, you can have the Texans playing and nothing will happen.
It is what it is – and Lamar Football as non-political as they are – is in the middle of a pretty big political fight. And we get it.
