I
have been wondering why Dennis Nessor had been so quite for the last
couple of months, I now know. he is trying to land a contract with the
City of Gonzales. I guess he feels if he plays the good little suck up
he will get it. And probably so, the city would love to shut up
complainers like him.

Now to make things clear, Bill has many good ideas, and it's a shame no one will listen to him because he's forgotten what we teach our children in kindergarten, manners. It was not that long ago I had to call him out on this in a public forum. He called me all kinds of names then, and I just told him the same thing over and over, "You are wrong, and you owe my wife an apology". He was wrong, he was spouting things as facts that were not only not factual, but out and out lies, and he didn't like being called out on it, especially by a woman.
As far as I can tell he's a grumpy old man who would like to live in misery than to make friends and be civil. That's his choice. Per Bill - Gonzales isn't smart enough for him, we're not ready for him, and heaven forbid we don't want to hear the truth from him. It must be horrible to be so fantastic that no one else will ever live up to your standards.
He complains that I haven't posted anything lately. Since I've been doing work for the city I've written 6 times, several very critical of procedures that have happened in the city. A couple complimenting things I've seen that I like. I write about what I see.
Since January I've written exactly 0 (that's right zero) blogs in any of my 3 blogs I manage. I've just not had time to follow up on the couple of things I would like to, and don't want to put anything out there without it being correct. And honestly I've just not had the time to write about any of the things I like to write about. It happens.
No one has bought me out, I'm still looking around, but honestly where we are today from where we were as a city when I started this blog is 2 totally different places. You can get real and honest answers from the city. You can find information you want, and it's not one big cover up trying to keep inquiring minds from uncovering anything.
Are there still faults? Yeap, sure are. And in council meetings many of those are being addressed, but Mr Sheppard wouldn't know because while he bitches, he hasn't been to a council meeting to see what's going on in 3/4s of forever. If you want to make a difference that's where it's done.
As for the brown nosing to get the bid? Let's see I came in $10/hr less than the only other hourly bid, without a $3500/month retainer/minimum and would work after hours and weekends unlike the other bid. Additionally after they fired the only other bidder in September, and the person they hired after they fired him, couldn't fulfill their contract to the city, I was the one brought in to fix the situation. It was a technical disaster where users hadn't been able to work in weeks, and my firm was able to take care of all those issues in a timely manner. So let's see, we fixed things, we saved the city money, and we have a positive record. Yeah, we won the bid fair and square. Oh, and the 3rd bid from the other company would of cost the city almost $12,000 MORE a month than what they are paying now for IT Services.
So Mr. Sheppard, I won't talk about you behind your back, I'll be right up front with it. Once again I'll call you out for a lack of manners. And again, it really is a shame, because if you had them, maybe you could get some of those ideas of yours listened to and acted upon. Maybe you really should go visit a kindergarten for a couple of weeks. Maybe you'll find your manners AND your smile, and not be so grumpy about the world around you.

PS - In comment to them increasing the speed limit on spur 131 you'd be wrong again, it was discussed at the council meeting that this would drop the official speed limit down 10-15 mph.
