We got a call this past Friday from a close source to one of the plant managers with a close relationship with the industrial council who tells the Review that they are "furious" with the Port Arthur City Council after awarding a contract with Phillips Productions this past week to help with Port Arthur's image.Philip is not exactly clear on why a "close source to one of the plant managers with a close relationship with the industrial council" would insert themselves into this issue. I think this line is probably a dead giveaway as to the real identity of this "source:"
The reason? And it is not what you think!
"These guys up on Port Arthur City Council sit there and lecture us about who we hire. They do this demand thing about hiring local help. They tell us we are bad business partners and beat us up in the media. But what the h*** does Port Arthur due? They hire a Dallas firm to redo Port Arthur's image? Is there nobody in Port Arthur or Jefferson County they can hire?" - asked the source.
"....But what the h*** does Port Arthur due?"Apparently, Philip and his spurious source aren't aware of Bob Philip's ties to the area:
In 2007, Bob married KFDM-TV anchor Kelli Adkins. They currently reside in Beaumont, Texas where Bob can be seen interviewing the locals.Likewise, readers may remember the last time Philip quoted a source "close to a plant manager." From May 2008:
Today, the Jefferson County Commissioners have on their plate a huge tax abetment [sic]. And this time it is with TOTAL. And it .... should pass. With yes votes from Arnold (leading the charge) and Waymon Hallmark.Philip clearly manufactured this source, notwithstanding his mangled reference to an "abetment."
"We will be watching today," said one manager to the Review over the weekend.
Surely a plant manager would have known the abatement in question had been passed five years earlier for the Total Hydrotreater project, completed two years earlier in 2006. The action Klein referenced as a "tax abetment" had to do forming a committee to determine whether conditions for the abatement were properly met after completion.
Note to Philip: You never followed up on several claims in recent weeks. Here are two examples:
- What about those documents you promised to post proving a conspiracy between County Judge Ron Walker and Rhonda Dugas?
- And what about that claim you made over two weeks ago, purportedly from the Texas National Guard PR Department, that David Bellow would be in the front lines of Iraq or jail within "the next two weeks." I thought the front lines had moved to Afghanistan? And if this were credible, why is David Bellow still in Hardin County and not jail or Iraq? More importantly, why has there been no action whatsoever on the part of the US Army or National Guard on this issue if your source (I use the term loosely) was credible?

"Source" or sorcery? You have to believe in Black Magic to think a responsible person would phone clueless wingnut PRK to reveal what his or her boss is thinking -- on any subject.
