The giant metastasising cancer injected into the heart of Lorena by 4 council members and the City Manager 🫤

Congratulations Lorena! Rates went up again and will continue every year for the next 40 years. This is what Council and the City of Lorena has done to it's citizens.
I encourage folks to post their water bills here.

According to census data, the population of Lorena was 1477 in 2000 and is estimated to be 1796 in 2025. An increase of 319 people (21.60%.)
Cumulative inflation has been 88.6%. It is reasonable to assume that what was a dollar in 2000, is now two dollars. We will be comparing budget numbers in the near future! If you love numbers, you can find some great data about Lorena here.

The most Truck Stop dense per square mile city or town in the state of Texas.
That's something to be proud of ... 🫤

The land parcel sold to the Texan truck stop organization was actually sold to a California corporation in June of 2025. This is recorded in the McLennan county deeds, available online.

Tonight is an Economic Development meeting at 6 in City Hall. This is a public meeting where rebranding the City will be discussed. Please attend as we will be presenting the following fact. The City of Lorena has more permitted trucks stops than any city in Texas! One per square mile. Three times the next highest.
Is this what you wanted? Light pollution, sound pollution, hazardous carcinogens, crime, trash, s*x workers, risks to the municipal water supply and more.

Just another day and a diesel spill at the local Truck Stop. Can't wait to get two more ... 🤔

Our council received nothing from the Texan. Another costly mistake for the Lorena taxpayers.

The Texas-based travel center chain would get a 1% tax rebate for its first two decades, while taking on responsibility for new water and road infrastructure.

Imagine pulling into a truck stop just to find DOT and ICE waiting at the fuel island. That’s what drivers are running into now. Can’t even grab diesel or coffee without feeling like you’re at a border checkpoint.

Lorena is the truck stop capital of Texas! 3 truck stops in a city of 3.5 square miles! 3.5/3=1.167
Laredo. 103/25=4.12
Houston 666/25=26.64

Thank your city council for this. They violated their own city ordinances to make this happen; exposing all city residents to light pollution, sound pollution, increased crime and known carcinogens.
