Deadbeats and Whiners

  Lubbock has too many "deadbeats" and whiners. Deadbeats don't pay their taxbills,mortgage payments,credit card bills,etc. I know two residents,one in the city and one in county and the two together owe over $100,000 to LCAD and that's 12 years on $18,000 and 25 years on $82,000. I will not name the "deadbeats". A local elected official did owe a substantial property taxbill and had to look for a source to pay his taxes. Later this same joker had a house in his wife's name,she too is an elected official,and their mortgage payment was neglected and now is in due process. Almost every week UMC is filing suit on deadbeats who don't pay their hospital bills. This editor pays my property taxbill and I even arranged payment plans on my heart and eye work. The other problem is Lubbock has a surplus of "whiners". Texas Tech fans whined for three years during the "Tuberville era". LP&L customers are whining after the elected officials,who won elections,gouged their wallets for a "higher rate" on the LP&L monopoly. Local activists are up in arms over digital meters proposed by LP&L. Digital meters are at SPEC and XCEL and not one UFO has been seen parked near a  "smart meter". I actually have had digital meters on my two acres and the meter reader never comes on my property and wakes up my dog. For several years local voters whined about the higher taxrate at Lubbock County. Every SOB republican who gouged the county taxrate has been re-elected and some had republican opponents. Lubbock has become a pesthole of "deadbeats" and damn whiners.
