Do you want to be treated like you’re stupid?
Do you resent the “There, there, little lady” bullshit from some man with dyed eyebrows, or anyone else for that matter?
Well, let me introduce you to someone who can’t decide between being “Daddy”, just lazy (why do you send this to the County Judge i.e. ME), and just a dick.
He called my blog a “gossip blog” all smug and happy with himself, he was grinning like an overmade up cat and thought he was “cute”, he was bitching because it was going to cost the county a whopping $15 because the AG’s office is sick of the MCSO and their b.s. sending the same AG’s questions over and over again either praying to get by with something, even though they know they can’t, or simply to buy time to find their ass, or, in the most recent case the brand new QUESTIONAIRES being filled out by Deputies and SWAT TEAM members who they “think” aren’t loyal to our brain dead Sheriff, who is staying home guarding the place from his children. They exist but Cody and Evans don’t want ME or anyone else to have them.
THIS is Dustin Chapman, started out part time, in a do nothing job holding the King’s scepter and walking rich brother in law Contractors around the old jail that was deemed “Bobby’s Folly” before any of these folks were even born. Bad idea from the get go, hello Commissioners and County Judge of old…………..
Ever hear of Dustin Chapman before? No.
The AG’s office is tired of MCSO and Dustin is tired of having to SEE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because he is, as a lawyer, an Officer of the Court. When he is informed of a crime, as he has been recently, he has an obligation to do something about it, well, he did he got Gimble involved, and we all know Gimble is bff with Josh Tetens, another Officer of the Court who has more than dropped the ball.
Silly me, I assumed since Dusty BABY called my blog a “gossip blog”, that he knew how to gossip.
Right?
Well, Dustin, get in there and do it, I gave you a lot to gossip ABOUT and you and your eyebrows, which I am sure have their own zip code, should thank me.
You are smug, overpaid, you need to stop buttoning that top button you look like you’re going to strangle yourself.
I have a mental picture of you with mudlike dye on your eyebrows and I’m sneering.
I am sure he and his giggly colleagues think that no one knows or cares about anything but 47% of the people, voted AGAINST PARNELL McNamara and we all know that if the election were this week after what he did to Mandy at the kittens, plus that picture of Char holding his nuts and the County Crime Scene tape, well, Par’s popularity is down the tube too.
No, I don’t like him. He’s a Public Servant and doesn’t want to be, he wants to be Renfield to King Feldon’s Dracula, he thinks people are too stupid to know when they’re being insulted.
Well, Dusty, go eat a bug.

In 2010, Dustin Chapman started as McLennan County’s part-time grant administrator for $15 an hour.
Seven years later, Chapman holds arguably the most vital position in the county under the commissioners court. His ascent is also reflected in his salary, which has more than doubled since he started as a part-timer.
County Judge Scott Felton said Chapman is known both locally and statewide as the county administrator.
Chapman’s position and function have slowly, whether intentionally or not, grown into a liaisonlike role between department heads and the commissioners court.
How the position should continue to evolve, if at all, continues to be debated, as the court faces an employee handling countywide issues who answers only to Felton.
Despite the continued back-and-forth regarding the role, there’s no debate among elected leaders that Chapman excels at his work.

County Attorney Mike Dixon said if anyone has doubts about the glue the holds operations together, they can speak to any agency the county works with or leaders from the city of Waco and other area officials.
“They adore Dustin because he gets his stuff done. . . . These are high-level things that require knowing where to go to research it; having, a lot of times, some legal knowledge; having had experience with a lot of times grants, assistance programs, those sort of things,” Dixon said. “We’re constantly in discussions with other agencies and counties and cities that involve working out these minute details so we can bring them back to you, so you can look at it and decide what you want to do. It is a specialized thing he does.”
Chapman, who graduated from Baylor Law School in 2004, joined the county in a part-time capacity in March 2010 as the grant administrator making $15 an hour. The position was made full time in October 2011, and Chapman’s salary was set at $42,661.
He now makes $78,263, and before the court adopted the fiscal year 2017 budget, Felton argued Chapman should be paid even more. The county judge pushed for the court to bump Chapman’s salary to $90,000, about $4,000 less than commissioners make.
Updated policy
On Friday, commissioners met to discuss adopting an updated employee policy guide and Chapman’s job duties. The two became intertwined as Commissioner Kelly Snell pointed out multiple references throughout the guide that direct department heads to report to Chapman for various problems and questions.
So Dixon and Human Resources Director Amanda Talbert, who have spearheaded the revision of the policy guide, arrived to the meeting with two versions in hand: one with all the references directing staff to the county administrator and the other directing department heads elsewhere. The court ultimately adopted the version lacking all the references to a county administrator but not after debating the idea of Chapman having his own office, reporting to all commissioners and potentially having an assistant.
“It’s not really like an authority position over appointed officials or anything like that,” Dixon said. “The only thing he would have authority to do is whatever you gave him authority to do.”
But ultimately, Chapman works in the county judge’s office, and Felton signs his time sheet and is in charge of his evaluations.
With all the work Chapman does countywide, it would make more sense if Chapman answered to the entire commissioners court, not just Felton, Commissioner Ben Perry said.
Dixon said moving Chapman under the supervision of all the commissioners would give the court more control of that position.

“It would increase your say-so, your evaluation, your consideration of his salary, all those things,” he said.
Felton said the court drives the county’s strategic plans and overall direction, and Chapman is there to follow through on the court’s direction.
Chapman said he feels as if he should, and does, report to all the commissioners as a whole. Reporting to the full court is especially important as he handles the county’s more than 350 Americans With Disabilities Act violations and other countywide projects assigned to him.
“I do manage day-to-day affairs in the judge’s office, but I see my job as being much broader than that,” Chapman said. “Just about everything I do ultimately ends up on the agenda for the court to approve anyway.”
