  1. Do we not have audio of this conference call? Schnatter's version: The comments came during what Schnatter called in his letter a "diversity media training" session with Laundry Service, a marketing agency. "During and after that meeting, the Laundry Service leadership strongly urged that our company retain Kayne West as my co-spokesman in the television spots and other promotions," Schnatter wrote. "I told them that would not work because he uses the ‘N’ word in his lyrics," Schnatter said in the letter, which was first reported by CNBC. "During this diversity media training, which covered a wide number of topics, I was asked whether I was racist. I, of course said no--which is a truthful statement as those of you who know me well will attest." After members of the ad agency asked Schnatter about controversial comments he made regarding NFL owners--which led to his stepping down as CEO of the company last year--Schnatter explained that he never uses the n-word. But in the process of defending himself, he apparently used that very word. "I then said something on the order of, Colonel Sanders used the word ‘N,’ (I actually used the word,) that I would never use that word and Papa John's doesn't use that word," Schnatter wrote. But, he claims, he never meant it as a racial epithet. Schnatter also claimed that Laundry Service asked Papa John's for $6 million in payment--more than four times what Schnatter says they were owed--because some of its staff had been offended by his comments. In the end, the company "gave into to this extortion attempt" and paid them $2.5 million.

  14. Texas counties do not really have that much authority granted to them by the State, if you are talking about property that is outside the city limits but inside the ETJ of the City of Austin, then that might explain the ridiculous permits, but that would be the county enforcing the city's requirements.
  15. A plat is not just a map that a surveyor draws for you, it is a document that must be voted on and approved in commissioners court. You will need to talk with someone in the country development services office (or county engineer, not familiar with Travis county’s structure). You may be able to find a loophole and get platted or they may tell you that the old man made an illegal subdivision My question is why you need permission from the county to install solar panels if you are in an unincorporated area?
  16. 😨 But I ride my bike there 😈 Not right now you don't
