Running a blog,becoming active in local republican party and dealing with aging relatives has led to stress never expected and the gray hairs it brings. I will now name all the a-holes I believe that knowingly tried to harass me into quitting my LCR investigation into local governments,politicians thereof and media owned by the government<br /><div><br />Julio Iglesias,cameraman at Ch.34<br />AJ employees(Logan Carver,Terry Greenberg,Stephen Beasley)<br />Ch.11 employees(James Clark,Dan Jackson,Benji Snead,Dean Myatt)<br />County Commissioners(Patti Jones,Bill McCay)<br />Lubbock County Sheriff's Department(David Guiterrez,Eddie Garcia)<br />UMC staff(Greg Bruce,Dennis Kelley,Doyce Middlebrook)<br />Republican Party clowns(Greg Lewis,Chris Winn,Dan Isett,John Steinmetz)<br />County workers(Dorothy Kennedy,Matt Powell,L.Todd Smith)<br />Former Lubbock cops(Dan Moore,Joe Dunbar,Kent Hobbs)</div><br /><div>This editor has received plenty of help in fighting the above "creeps" to expose the corruption of local government. The following good people are to be commended for their loyalty to Clif Burnett and LCR.</div><div><br />Mikel Ward<br />Roger Settler<br />John Miller<br />S.T.Lorenz<br />Jerry Rogers<br />John Brooks<br />Sonya Sherrod<br />Ysidrio Guiterrez</div><br /><div>The above have always provided moral support,good documents and great advice as I continue to do the "people's work" of trying to help tame the "beast of big government".<br />The "creep list" actually was somewhat organized but it was no conspiracy. It was more like several gangs protecting their turf. Some outlandish ideas did surface. This editor knows that 3 blogs were started by members of the "creep list" to put out fabrications about this editor's past from the 80's and 90's. One member of the "creep list" even sent a threatening email to Greg Bruce impersonating this editor and Mr.Bruce played along with this "dumb idea" by filing a false police report hoping to get Clif Burnett arrested in hopes the bribery/peddling influence scandal involving UMC officials and local republican County Commissioners would not be found if I were jailed. This editor knows better than to threaten anyone and Mr.Bruce and whoever he was involved with found out Clif Burnett is not easily distracted and has little fear of "local pigs". "Local pigs",present and former, pulled several stunts trying to derail LCR investigation into local government but cops had no "illegal activity" by this editor so they just used old fashioned harassment techniques that this editor ignored. Greg Bruce even tried to keep this editor from going to public meetings at UMC by using Dennis "former LPD pig" Kelley to threaten this editor on two occasions. Both Bruce and Kelley proved they are as "off-the-wall" as they come and as crooked as could be. Trying to intimidate people into not attending public meetings and requesting public record is totally illegal but enforcement of those laws is non-existant. Lubbock County pulled so many stunts,both legal and illegal,it would boggle readers minds. County attorneys tried "public record for profit",claimed records didn't exist and even tried to get Texas Attorney General's office to declare some records private when this editor asked to see which voter application cards were denied. County elections office illegally denied over 400 felons their right to vote after state legislature had given felons not on probation or parole their right to vote back. Dorothy Kennedy was involved in this criminal activity. Lubbock County was a "rat's nest" of illegal activity when LCR was founded and it still is. Bill McCay even claimed that this editor was defaming the "county's name" with LCR when this editor was publishing embarrassing public record exposing the county's illegal activity and lavish wasteful expenditures. Patti Jones even went as far as to lie about county debt and her lies were exposed in budget documents that were found by John Miller and Jerry Rogers and this editor published those.The sad truth is the "creep list" I've named today is full of "good christian crooked" creeps.</div><div><br />LCR will continue to investigate local corrupt governments like UMC,Lubbock County,Texas Tech,City of Lubbock and other taxpayer funded entities. Clowns like Greg Bruce,Dennis Kelley,Patti Jones,Bill McCay,Chris Winn,Greg Lewis just to name a few will find that "Bulldog" Burnett is their enemy and as the late Bruce Gentry,Jr. used to say,"I'm In For The Long Haul".</div><div><br />To all the local republicans,"Let's Rumble,You Assholes"</div><div>_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-1158620961725764956?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-21360537462050870552009-07-18T10:17:00.001-05:002009-07-18T10:19:10.704-05:00Saturday Tunz from Papa John CreachGone but not forgotten,RIP Papa John!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dwWVbFYZjr0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dwWVbFYZjr0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-2136053746205087055?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-17341361068882364062009-07-18T10:10:00.002-05:002009-07-18T10:11:59.212-05:00Public Transportation<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SmHl_snMi6I/AAAAAAAAJcc/gj3vhc-v4eo/s1600-h/289266_full.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 304px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359817914017680290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SmHl_snMi6I/AAAAAAAAJcc/gj3vhc-v4eo/s400/289266_full.gif" /></a><br /><div>Jeff Stahler from July 14,2009</div><div>______________________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-1734136106888236406?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-10289637085971340732009-07-18T07:43:00.010-05:002009-07-18T08:06:58.783-05:00Comic Relief from Ron Konstantin<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SmHENfutf9I/AAAAAAAAJcM/c_ZGevDJLMU/s1600-h/ron1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 124px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359780767682363346" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SmHENfutf9I/AAAAAAAAJcM/c_ZGevDJLMU/s400/ron1.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Investment tips for 2009</div><br /><div>With all the turmoil in the market and the collapse of Lehman Bros and Acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice.

John Steinmetz recently held a reception for soul brother Michael Williams U.S.Senate campaign. Chris Winn attended a reception for Todd Cruz Texas Attorney General campaign. This editor avoids these silly functions because the perfumy feminist republicans are as offensive as they are uneducated. Williams and Cruz are both Affirmative Action republicans trying to pander to former democrat republicans as well as the African American and Hispanic voters. If both Steinmetz and Winn continue to play local media and push their "big government" agendas this editor could easily pop-up in the republican primary as a "wildcard candidate" asking local democrats to cross over and vote republican in a "Clif Burnett Against Republican Big Government" campaign for county chair of Lubbock Republican Party. Official filing for all offices is December 2,2009 and it's still way to early to start campaigning locally. Local republican operatives are basically camerahounds that are simply put,uneducated about local government and that's the real tragedy about local political activists. Taxpayers locally deserve local activism fighting big government not the clueless,camerahound stupidity that Steinmetz and Winn have to offer.<br /><div><br />Lights,Camera,"Bozo" REPUBLICANS!_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-1007286186389585419?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-90652479952338863482009-07-16T18:20:00.004-05:002009-07-16T18:29:13.828-05:00LCR Announces AJ "Worst Reporter" Award<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/Sl-2RoWuD5I/AAAAAAAAJbs/WMDUBn5a3qI/s1600-h/lc.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 280px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 270px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359202495600922514" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/Sl-2RoWuD5I/AAAAAAAAJbs/WMDUBn5a3qI/s400/lc.jpg" /></a>Lubbock AJ also known as "Average Junk" has had reporters come and go. Such alleged talent as Russell Hill and Eric Finley worked at the AJ before getting on the "government gravy train" at LISD and UMC. The premier reporter(Chris Van Wagenen) recently jumped out of AJ cesspool and went to Houston to remove the AJ residue that swimming in a cesspool leaves on oneself. The AJ still has the largest fleet of semi-educated,"good for nuthin's" to ever be assembled by a local rag newspaper. LCR believes that one standout at AJ must be recognized as a shining example of lousy and is worthy of the LCR "Worst AJ Reporter" award. This guy was even thought to have been getting local sleazy republican county commissioner Patti Jones to be his ghost writer for county stories since he is not educated about Lubbock County period. He's referred to as "Little Logan" by local TV reporters because of his shortness in height and limited IQ. He's also a lame piano player and lamer guitar player and is not exactly physically fit.

The record-setting Texas Tech quarterback signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday. Harrell is the NCAA Division I career leader in touchdown passes but wasn't drafted by the NFL. His workout with the Cleveland Browns did not result in a contract. Harrell had to fight the perception that his numbers were the product of Texas Tech's offensive system and he didn't have the arm strength to succeed in the NFL. The Roughriders are already two games into their season and have three quarterbacks on their roster.

City of Lubbock is currently negotiating with State Health officials to take over the Lubbock Health Department on Texas Ave. and make that facility a state operation. State of Texas currently operates umpteen clinics at Texas Tech Medical Center and their professionalism is so lame that citizens would be left without a credible alternative to the inferior care of UMC and Tech Med Center. City of Lubbock already spends 64% of it's general revenues on police and fire protection and now city wants to cut health department funds to hire more police officers and firemen in exchange for a health department budget cut. Neither policemen or firemen are qualified to give medical care to the needy so robbing the health department to pad payrolls at police department and fire department is truly "goofy". City Council has no clue as to how to run "big government" and trading the public health for more fire and police protection is truly "blue smoke&amp;mirrors" at it's worst. Lubbock poor could be facing lame medical care with money grubbing bureaucrats at the root of the problem sooner rather than later. That is truly bad government policy.<br /><div><br />Clif Burnett<br />Editor</div><div>_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-1518821443714029118?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-281760921053026012009-07-15T10:20:00.002-05:002009-07-15T10:29:27.583-05:00Health Department In Funding Snafu<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/Sl31Blss9TI/AAAAAAAAJa0/0nSwhGWoYho/s1600-h/city+of+lubbock.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 217px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358708539289040178" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/Sl31Blss9TI/AAAAAAAAJa0/0nSwhGWoYho/s400/city+of+lubbock.jpg" /></a>LCR EXCLUSIVE!!<br /><div><br />Lubbock Health Department has been neglecting to bill Medicare recipients for rejected Medicare bills due to lack of minimum co-payment being satisfied. All Medicare recipients must pay the first $135 of medical care BEFORE Medicare will reimburse the clinics/doctors. Lubbock Health Department has been found to be NOT BILLING patients if Medicare rejected claim on grounds that patient had not satisfied the $135 co-payment. This means that Medicare recipients were going to Lubbock Health Department and getting free health care at expense of City of Lubbock and city bureaucrats were just taking the costs of free care out of health department budget. Anyone with Medicare card will get a bill for the first $135 bucks and most people with Medicare have means to pay that minimum. City Health Department was discovered by this editor to not be billing patients when this editor got a flu shot and told nurse that minimum wasn't paid and ask what the bill would be when Medicare declined to pay. Nurse responded,We don't bill patients,if Medicare doesn't reimburse city picks up the tab. This means many citizens with Medicare cards went to Health Department to avoid paying their $135 minimum yearly payment and local taxpayers footed the bill for Medicare "free-riders". Budget got so bloated with "free care" that Lee Ann Dumbauld has proposed to dump health department on the state. State would then bill Medicare patients like they do at Tech Medical School clinics(state entities). Free care for Medicare patients at Lubbock Health Department could be headed to "last roundup".</div><br /><div>LCR EXCLUSIVE!</div><div>_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-28176092105302601?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-1015788103687594082009-07-14T08:33:00.005-05:002009-07-14T11:15:23.407-05:00Todd Klein "Clown Squad" Show at townhall meeting tonight<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SlyKmHzBVdI/AAAAAAAAJac/_ohtF67C-sY/s1600-h/Todd+Klein.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358310044196754898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/SlyKmHzBVdI/AAAAAAAAJac/_ohtF67C-sY/s400/Todd+Klein.jpg" /></a>Todd "clueless" Klein will continue the Todd Klein "hotdog Klown" Show tonight at Oakwood Baptist Church,located at 2215 58th Street.

This editor hopes that current flu bug(sick all day yesterday) will not prevent me from attending this meeting to pepper Todd "clueless" Klein with a question or two about the Health Board meltdown and "dumb idea" about dumping city health department into State of Texas lap. Klein has had a history of ducking this editor's questions in public because Klein is truly "semi-educated democrap" when it comes to government operations. Klein usually has color guard,"bald headed Dale Holton","painted face" Lee Ann Dumbauld and other alleged public servants at his functions and also gets city to tape said events for replay on City of Lubbock cable channel. Klein recently was spotted at a "Coffee With Carl" at Jiminez Bakery downtown.

This system is as big a hoax as there is in big government. I've personal attended many of these meetings and citizens input is actually not allowed in many meetings(no public remarks) and public remarks was removed at almost every committee I attended after I addressed some of the committees trying to contribute ideas. These committees/commissions/boards are made up of friends,cronies and other groupies of city council/city staff and are nothing more than free coffee/donuts social meetings with nothing tangible to be accomplished. City actually discriminates against county residents who pay sales taxes even though city charter only prohibits county residents from serving on LP7L Board. Floyd Price AND Becky Garza have even went as far as to "blatantly lie" that city charter prohibits county residents from serving as a volunteer on these committees/boards. This editor reviewed charter and both Mr.Price and Ms.Garza were disproved in their "blatant misrepresentation". Bottom line,Don't waste your time volunteering to serve on any City of Lubbock board,commission or committee.</div><br /><div>Clif Burnett<br />LCR Editor</div><div>_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-2412707027045620372?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-15007603494068935152009-07-09T14:40:00.005-05:002009-07-09T14:52:37.941-05:00Chris Van Wagenen announces AJ departure<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/ShAJZdB3KQI/AAAAAAAAIwM/2d9gESmQpLg/s400/van+wagenen.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 171px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 376px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F8BKBeQdYnM/ShAJZdB3KQI/AAAAAAAAIwM/2d9gESmQpLg/s400/van+wagenen.jpg" /></a>Chris Van Wagenen to depart AJ<br /><div><br />This editor is saddened to learn that Chris Van Wagenen will be leaving AJ on July 18. His business column will be difficult to replace since he is by far the best columnist on AJ staff. His predecessor,Ray Westbrook, was barely average. AJ continues to struggle with low readership,overpriced ad chart and continued cozy relationship with "big government" that prevents investigative reporting on government waste and corruption. Van Wagenen penned a classic "radio rubbish" editorial that told the ugly truth about how corporate radio is truly garbage radio.Van Wagenen will return to Houston and probably find a few old "Oilers" emblems still around even though the team is long gone.</div><div><br />This editor bids farewell to Chris Van Wagenen,you deserve better than the "ugly AJ"!!</div><div></div><div></div><div><br />The real tragedy in this is Logan Carver,Bill Kerns,Terry Greenberg,Stephen Beasley,Karen Brehm and Elliott Blackburn will still be poisoning the AJ with their copy.</div><div>A Real Damn Bummer!!</div><div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br />"The People Have A Right To Know"<br />Nostradamus</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8494178600261218885-1500760349406893515?l=lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com'/></div>Clif Burnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349372358736580109texslim@gmail.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494178600261218885.post-71178475774847742392009-07-09T13:05:00.002-05:002009-07-09T13:12:03.699-05:00Clif Burnett asks for readers helpThe following email addresses are being used to harass this editor for publishing public record.
