10-13 billion. Then much as 15 billion. Now 15-18 billion and not a shovel of dirt turned. Yawn, nothing to see here.
Can we just make it official and call everything in the inner loop west “River Oaks”???
Those homes in the picture are right next to the Buffalo Bayou Silos on N. Nagle
for those not aware of buc-ee’s slimballery, here is the scenario:
– bucee’s hires assistant manager with $55k salary in 2009
– employment contract labels about a third of that as “retention pay” and says that if new hire works there for less than 4 years or fails to give 6 months notice before quitting, then she must give this “retention pay” back
– 3 years later, in 2012, employee leaves the job and buc-ee’s sues her for $67,720 “retention pay”
– finally in October 2017, after judgement against her in trial court, a Texas appeals court ruled in the employee’s favor and ordered bucee’s to pay her legal fees as well.
