An underground blog has popped up. One of the posts is a drawing of a City of Richardson fleet vehicle (based on a

fleet vehicle being parked in West Plano in front of a house... are employees allowed to drive the fleet vehicles to non work sites? How much has that been costing us?). The fleet vehicle in the drawing has "COR" written on it but on the antenna is a little banner that says "Kefflers" with a flying "K." A young looking person is driving with other happy looking people in the vehicle. There is a bumper sticker on the front bumper that says "fully insured by you" and the license plate reads, "BIG-TEX."

It is editorial commentary on the past discovered use and in some cases felt to be abuse (non authorized use) of the City of Richardson vehicles insured and paid for by tax payers, a matter that drew attention and concern about liability issues and of course cost (fuel, maintenance, trust).
