Who Should Be Boycotted

  Lubbock needs to do a major "boycott". Here's who needs less money from Lubbock residents.

  Ranch House Restaurant,downtown Lubbock
It's owned by LP&L board member Robert Musselman. He is a big supporter of LP&L monopoly and a "yesman" for Gary Zheng,LP&L CEO.

  Texas Tech athletic department
LP&L now sends a reported $3 MILLION in donation for a few signs and football tickets. This "donation" comes from those bloated bills with LP&L on the monthly bill. One should consider only donating once to Texas Tech and not purchase tickets to any athletic event.

  United Family(Supermarkets)
United actually got a $2,000 month rebate from LEDA in a corporate subsidy recently. City hall authorizes the budget for LEDA that includes this corporate welfare. United also gouges prices to subsidize Texas Tech,United Spirit Arena for example. Wal-Mart,Lowe's and Dollar General are not involved in city corporate welfare and United customers should think about that.

  McDougal Properties
Marc McDougal is an LP&L board member that voted to gouge electric rates at LP&L. Carl Tepper of LCRP(republicans) is a shameless promoter of McDougal Properties and a known McDougal employee and "yesman".  Not leasing from McDougal Properties or donating to Lubbock Republicans sounds like two good ideas.

  Lubbock needs to "boycott" some businesses.
