Just found this on a facebook post...

Beneath the laughter, beneath the drawl and the pen name Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens carried a heavy heart. Money slipped through his fingers like river water. It seemed every ambitious scheme, every promise of fortune, turned to dust in the end.

Worse than any failed business deal was the empty space where a loved one used to be. His boy, Langdon, taken by fever.  Later, his beloved Olivia, and their daughters too - sickness and fate seemed to have it out for him.

Sometimes the grief was a fist squeezing tight in his chest, other times just a hollowness, an echo where laughter used to bounce back at him.  He started to see the world different, the jokes catching in his throat.  They called his later writing "darker," but maybe his eyes were finally clearing.

Then there were the critics, clucking their tongues over his stories. Too bold, they said, too close to the bone.  Like he didn't carry his own scars, know the sting of hypocrisy, the false piety that rang loud on a Sunday morning and faded quick by Monday.

Still, he had to keep writing. Debts piled up, and a man with an empty belly and an empty house gets desperate.  So, he put on the Mark Twain mask, dished out the witticisms folks expected. But some nights, it was Samuel Clemens alone with his pen, scratching at truths too bleak for the lecture halls and laughing audiences.

His struggles, they weren't the whole of the man, but they carved channels in his soul. Those channels, that's where some of the deepest, truest words flowed from.

Yesterday, for the first time, I told a client not to invest in Topeka—disclosure as a real estate professional. In my business, you never want to hear, "Why didn't you tell me all that?".

Most recently, my dear friend Dana K Anderson commented that he wished he never bought the land at 37th and Gage. 

Howard Paul commented, "Life is too short to deal with Topeka". He is selling all his real estate and investing in Florida.

Cody Foster says he is done with downtown. 

so.........

In a town that lets the contrator of the economic development funds spend 67% of the fund on overhead.

That hires a consultant to do all the work that requires thinking.
 

 

That breaks all the rules for one guy who may or may not owe $8M in back taxes. where you fix his dam for a lake taxpayer, subside because the GO bonds were placed on land that already had unpaid taxes. 

Where the minority set aside money can't be accessed by minorities, except the ones that keep winning the contests 3 and 4 times and are basically subsided.

Whereas a pizza hut can't get funds for a sewer and takes two years to get through the system 








What you don't understand is that the deal was handed to you --- you did not have to pay $3.5M to Go Topeka. Go Topeka blocked the deal. 

-------


The reason for sending the "will Topeka want a Whataburger more than a Braxton" was to see if he would retaliate. 

He was rolling his eyes in the recent infrastructure meeting Sylvia would not let me clarify his misstatements.

------

You own a hotel and $544K for that consultant. 

$100M lawsuit for Wade, and in his podcast, he says someone knew he was mentally ill.

The bus at the Ramada and the villages has no room for local children. 

It is time to replace the true manager ...... [see attached]
