I think the Legendary missed the real crime. According to the Open Meetings Act, Mr. Snell's meeting was illegal. If a quorum of Commissioners are present and discuss county business, even if one is on the phone, it is considered a called meeting by law. The meeting is illegal in that there was no public notice posted 72 hours before this called meeting. There are no public minutes that can be reviewed of this meeting since the County Clerk's Office wasn't present at the meeting, I'm sure because they didn't know about it either. So it would seem the actual crime isn't the Commissioners spending money, but that Mr. Snell betrayal of public trust in calling a clearly illegal meeting. Good work on uncovering Mr. Snell's illegal activities!!

Can you post the invoice for a 6 million main frame or do you just not care about the facts. 6 million dollors being attached to a project is a major fact.

I have spoken with Mr. Chambers about this matter twice. Both times he assured me that it is a material fact that McLennan County has invested that much in a main frame computer system. Suppose I am in error, and it's only $1 million, after all. Hell's bells, let's make it a meaaly $100,000. I put it to you, sir. Is it a good use of what resources are available, be they worth $6 million or two bits, to ignore the fact that the money has been spent for a purpose and then turn around and subvert that very purpose? I put it to you, sir. It's the very principle of thing that that is at stake, here, sir. That ought to hold you, Mr. Anonymous. That ought to hold you. Why don't you post the invoice for what it really cost and leave me in peace? How about that? There's an idea for you. - The Legendary

Yes, let's do get this straight. You are very belligerent and you are in a very ignorant mood, so you begin to berate me about something I have confirmed to the best of my ability. You call this calling me out? I haven't been called out by an anonymous mouse, hoss. Far from it. Step up here into the light, let me see your face, and we'll see about that, okay? You ain't called out anyone, Mr. Anonymous. What's that name, dude? You got one? You got two? Huh? - The Legendary Jim Parks

You see, dear hearts, I never said they purchased a main frame computer upon which to run accounting and payroll software that will schedule pay days on a 26-week schedule. I said the main frame computer system cost $6 million, according to the County Auditor. I have checked back with him twice, now, and he says that is what he said and it's what he meant.

The only person in the world who has said it was purchased specifically to run a 26-week pay schedule is our belligerent Mr. Anonymous, here. It seems he has a problem with his reading comprehension, no? Whatever. I know someone here has a problem. That does not necessarily mean The Legendary has to make it a part of his problem - if any.
