Lakeway’s Shadow Government Expands: 17 New Bureaucrats to Control Your Life
Lakeway City Council appoints 17 people to panels—because nothing says "democracy" like unelected bureaucrats deciding your fate.

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except for me, because I’ve been warning you all for years), the Lakeway City Council has appointed a staggering 17 people to three different panels. That’s right, folks—17 unelected bureaucrats, handpicked by the so-called "leaders" of Lakeway, now have the power to decide what’s ethical, what’s zoned, and what’s historically significant. Wake up, sheeple! This is how the deep state operates—one "harmless" committee appointment at a time.
Let’s break it down, shall we? The Board of Ethics—because nothing says "trust us" like a group of people who get to define their own ethics—is now stacked with reappointments and new faces, all smiling politely while they plot how to enforce their woke agenda. Sanjeev Kumar as chair? Oh, sure, because nothing screams "local control" like a name that definitely doesn’t sound like it belongs to a guy who drinks kale smoothies and thinks property taxes are too low.
Then there’s the Board of Adjustment, which sounds like a chiropractic clinic but is actually a shadowy cabal that decides whether you can build a shed in your own backyard. Steve Smith at the helm? Classic deep-state move—put a guy with the most generic name possible in charge so no one suspects a thing. And don’t even get me started on the alternates. JP Forage and Mike Stubblefield? Those aren’t names—those are aliases. Probably ex-CIA. Probably.
And finally, the Heritage Committee, which is just a fancy way of saying "the group that decides which parts of history you’re allowed to remember." Jim Parrish, appointed by Mayor Kilgore, will now decide what’s "historically significant" in Lakeway. Spoiler alert: It’s whatever aligns with the globalist narrative. Say goodbye to your Confederate flags, folks. Say hello to mandatory diversity training at the local BBQ joint.
And let’s not forget the real kicker—this whole charade was almost derailed by a proposition to dismantle the Board of Ethics. But of course, it failed. Because when has the government ever voluntarily given up power? That’s right—never. They just keep adding more layers of bureaucracy until we’re all buried under a mountain of paperwork and "community engagement" meetings.
So mark my words, Lakeway: These 17 appointees are just the beginning. Next thing you know, they’ll be mandating bike lanes, banning gas stoves, and replacing your lawn with native grasses. And when that happens, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Wake. Up.
