Thank you. placing large ads in the temple daily telegram and by hiring social media influencers for the city. Since you obviously desire greater transparency, let me help you. Whose idea was it to have a DEI commission and try to hire the Nova Collective, a bizarre Chicago consulting firm to survey temple employees, policemen, and citizens? Whose idea was it to waste thousands of dollars on the Tanglefoot festival that most citizens couldn't afford to attend? Whose idea was it to install parking meters downtown? Whose idea was it to have a meeting at 10 o'clock in the morning when ordinary citizens can't attend? Whose idea was it to raise taxes on the good people of temple and then at the last hour call for a bond election, which is nothing more than a glor ified tax increase to fund the Salmon Center, which you allowed to operate in disrepair? But more importantly, whose idea was it to sign the now missing non-disclosure agreement with Meta and give enormous tax abatements to Meta and Rowan and put out the welcome mat to, and I quote, a moving target number of hyper-scale data centers when the majority of citizens of Temple and Bell County do not want them? And whose idea was it to spend millions of dollars on flock cameras to spy on your innocent neighbors and townspe ople so you'd have lots of data to store in your data centers? Whoever initiated all these foolish projects is doing a disservice to our community. 10,000 Temple citizens signed petitions to recall you and kn …

Target Painting Tracking Systems that treats everyone like a criminal out of our American community. Thank you. I do have one quick question, guys. I noticed that Willie Nelson over here and Commissioner Berry, you guys had a little private powwow sidebar in the back there. As I understand, that is a sunshine violation. Everything at these meetings must be on the record. That's mostly what I can't say that fast anymore, let alone remember it. But, anyway, we would just like you to all have some wisdom, wisdom from the Lord to slow some things down and think about it before the lawsuits keep flying because we know they're coming. Thank you, Margie. And also, I did talk to Governor Greg Abbott's office this morning, and he's wondering why you all aren't following his notices that he's put out about stopping data centers for APOCs. Thank you. And then after Ms. Thomas will be, is it Margie Goodfletch? Goodfletch? You'll be next. Yes, ma'am. Hi. Lynn Thomas, Temple. Following up on Margie, I had no idea she was going to talk about the flock cameras, which is what I came here to talk about. From what I understand, if I think I have it right, we've had the flock cameras for a while. What I would like to talk about is, what I would like to know is, how long have we had them? How much are we paying for them? If I remember correctly, there was a city council meeting a while ago, and I thought it was passed that it was a $31,000 a month payment, but I can't be sure if I got that right …

Thank you. for them had decided the law no longer applied to it. The machine had paperwork, titles, badges, but what it did not have was lawful authority. And what it truly did not have was any respect for the people it governed. It considered them beneath consideration. The people of Athens eventually reached the end of what they were willing to tolerate. Nobody wanted it. It happened because every lawful door had been shut one by one by the very officials sworn to keep them open. Then in 2014, in Bunkerville, Nevada, a federal agency arrived on the ground convinced that its internal determinations were the same thing as due process. It found out otherwise. That standoff did not end because anyone won an argument. It ended because the government finally recognized it had walked past the point of no return and it withdrew. Both share a lesson, and this council needs to hear it clearly. When government convinces itself that its convenience is the same thing as its authority and that the people it governs are beneath its notice, it creates confrontations it never intended and which it cannot control. Which brings me to the mayor. Mr. Mayor, you meant today to decline my family's call, but you answered it instead. I don't think you know that. And what the line captured was you calling us, quote, redne cks. I don't know what the fuck's wrong with you. Not a policy disagreement, not a legal position. Contempt. Spoken freely because you believe no one who mattered was listening. I …
