Beaumont..A City stupid enough to spend 76,000.00 for a company to come up with a slogan. Hey, I've got one...Beaumont...you think we were stupid yesterday-just wait!
Our schools are failing. Our courtrooms are famously corrupt. Our environment is poisoned and dangerous. Violent crime is out of control. The population is decreasing. My slogan is " Beaumont why would any reasonable person come visit?"
Welcome to Beaumont.......they decided for you......you can smoke anywhere you want to, just not here!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually thought the decision to go somewhere was my decision, guess not.....they want me to be safe from cancer......but I am on my own when it comes to a gun and crime.
If you want people to come you must give them something to come too. Unfortunatly there is not much here and what is here is surrouned by filth. They do not call this area the armpit of Texas for nothing.
"The Reicht Place to Be" Although we live here we have no voice in what happens, but we're never told what is really going on anyway. Apparently the city officials think that we're too stupid to make decisions and/or actively try to deny us a vote if they think that we might vote differently from their private, (and possibly private money-making), agendas.
I drove throught Beaumont last week on my way to Houston.....here's my suggestion for a new slogan :
Beaumont.....it's not beautiful and there are no mountains as the name implies...but we do have lots of petro chemical eyesores, massive air pollution and a highly repressed, improverished minority population for your enjoyment and observation.
Beaumont, a once oil rich town, with one of the most polluted air situations in the world..that is wilting on the vine like a spoiled fruit...ready to be plowed under.
Beaumont is on its way to sporting a new slogan after City Council unanimously approved a contract launching an extensive research process to determine a slogan that will best characterize the area and accentuate Beaumont's strengths.
Can you help the city out?
