I really do not like having to make posts like these, but they must be brought to light. I will not stand by and watch a councilman and his wife try to scare and manipulate the Citizens of Sulphur because they didn't get there way.
What they posted is a lie and is a manipulative strategy to try to get people stirred up to cause unnecessary drama in our community. It is time for them to resign and stop hurting our town by causing division with their wrongdoing and lies.
Our State has The Competitive Bidding Act of 1974, which in emergency cases (water would apply as an emergency) the bidding can be waived by the City Council. (If I need to explain Emergency meetings, I can do that too.)
To clarify even more The Competitive Bidding Act still applies even though we are a Charter City. We as a City are to go by State Statute if there is a Statute on the topic, but we can be stricter when it comes to certain things. This is why our Charter is $1500 vs the State Statute of $25,000. We are stricter and due to all the current mismanagement of funds, we need to keep a tight fit on our City's financials. Those in power want freedom to not have to do competitive bidding for any amount lower than $25k.
Competitive Bidding not being followed is something that should show up in the audit because it has not been followed correctly for years.
We have ZERO trust, and they just proved why they can't be trusted with these posts. Using scare and manipulation tactics so they can get more power over the Citizen's money must come to a stop. Also to the people that liked it, stop being followers of the ones that are just using you and manipulating you because they don't want to lose their power. If they told you this to get you to vote yes, they manipulated you with a lie. Propositions should be used correctly and not used for more power.
