Rod Vilhauer: The “Density King” Frisco Can’t Trust

https://friscowatchdog.com/rod-vilhauer-the-density-king-frisco-cant-trust/

Rod Vilhauer is not a fresh face with new ideas. He is the “Density King” with a paper trail of failed zoning cases that lined his pockets while creating the worst planning era in Frisco’s history. Now he wants to run the whole city, while his conflicts of interest are bigger than ever.

As a former Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commissioner and City Council member, I did my homework on Rod Vilhauer’s policies. He was a P&Z commissioner from 1991-1998, and I was genuinely shocked by what I found in meeting minutes. I am not speculating about what Rod Vilhauer might do as Mayor of Frisco. I read his record.

It shows a consistent, documented pattern of self service, not public service.

Here’s the short version:

Rod Vilhauer was absent 35% of the time when Frisco needed him most.
He approved 55,370 potential apartment units while Frisco had fewer than 1,400, becoming the “Density King.”
He allowed industrial zoning to occupy the city’s most valuable corridors, areas we are still trying to reclaim.
He used his public seat as a private business development tool.
He failed to recuse himself from cases where he may have had financial interests.
He protected his own neighborhood while making it impossible for others to protect theirs.
Rod’s legacy is the apartment and warehouse zoning phase of Frisco’s history.
Fast forward to 2026, with a real estate agent wife and old developer allies circling the board, this same Density King wants to be the Frisco Mayor.

Voters deserve to know the truth about Rod Vilhauer’s failed policies, his conflicts of interests, and his zoning for dollars. Frisco simply can’t afford to have Rod Vilhauer in any city leadership position, especially as the Mayor.

1. The Density King’s Record: The Worst P&Z Era in Frisco History

Rod Vilhauer wants to be Frisco Mayor, but voters need to know that he is a primary architect of what our municipal records suggest was the WORST Planning & Zoning era in Frisco history. Frisco today is known as an example of suburban success, but our current quality of life exists in spite of a “Wild West” era with reckless policies by Rod that almost choked out our entire future.

In the early 1990s, while the foundations of our community were being poured, we had the opportunity to create a city that did not have industrial zoning, warehouse zoning next to residential, or reckless density due to “zoning for dollars.” Poor zoning decisions are generational anchors that drag down property values, create issues for future city planning, and invite crime. Rod was squarely behind these poor decisions that needed to be corrected for decades after. Before the city had the professional planning safeguards it enjoys today, Rod Vilhauer was busy stacking and packing Frisco for his own business and profit as well as the benefit of developers, leaving today’s taxpayers to foot the bill for thirty years of damage control.

Bottom Line: Frisco leadership has spent nearly 30 years trying to correct the massive issues caused by Rod’s failed zoning policies from the 1990’s, and the work is still not done.

2. The “Apartment Czar” and the High-Density Explosion

Rod is not only the Density King, he is the Apartment Czar.

From 1991 to 1998, Frisco underwent a “stack and pack” phase that nearly destroyed its suburban appeal. Vilhauer, acting as the “Apartment Czar,” presided over a record-breaking spree of garden-style apartment approvals that ignored public outcry. The scale of this negligence was finally exposed on April 14, 1999, when newly hired planning director John Lettellier sounded the alarm. Lettellier revealed that while Frisco only had 1,395 existing apartments, the zoning approved during the Vilhauer era had created a “potential build out of 55,370” units. This triggered a city-wide panic, but the “Apartment Czar” had already done the damage.

Read that again. 1,395 existing. 55,370 garden style units approved by Rod. No doubt, he is the Frisco Apartment Czar!

Notable apartment approvals on Rod’s watch include:

Stonebrook Village: Sub-standard garden-style apartments that even the owner later admitted were a “worst crime problem” for the city.
North Court Villas: The catalyst for Frisco’s infamous and costly legal battle regarding Section 8 housing.
Independence and 121: A project Vilhauer pushed through despite a staggering protest from nearly 800 residents.
Massive Density Hits: Including 646 units at Main and Preston, 500 units at Chapel Creek, and 510 units at Vintage at Legacy.
Bottom Line: Don’t want more apartments in Frisco? Blame Rod Vilhauer, the Apartment Czar, who approved almost all of them!

3. “Warehouse Rod”: Zoning Frisco into an Industrial Corner

Rod is apparently out there telling the folks who recently protested warehouses at a city council meeting that he would help them fight City Hall on the warehouse zoning.

Wow. Do they realize that Rod Vilhauer is the same “Warehouse Rod” who actually APPROVED that same tract of land for warehouse zoning back in the 1990’s? Is he planning to fight himself and his failed policies?

According to meeting minutes, Rod consistently prioritized industrial and self-storage projects on land that should have been high-value developments. In fact, he treated the Rail District and major corridors like a dumping ground for industrial with zero vision or foresight:

Rail District Blight: Don’t like the industrial zoning in the Rail District? Rod approved the industrial zoning at 5th and Hickory and 5th and Elm, areas the city is still struggling to redevelop today.
The AT&T Building: Rod approved the massive utility building to occupy two blocks of 5th and Elm, some of the most valuable land in the Rail District.
Industrial Encroachment: He approved warehouses at Taft Powell, Main and Teel, and more on Main Street, along with a mini-warehouse at 121 and Warren that effectively killed any further development in that area. Yep, that’s Warehouse Rod.
The Brookshires Failure: The development at Main and Preston stands as a monument to his era: no development standards, no open space, and now one of the worst corners in the city.
Batch Plant: Perhaps Rod’s greatest failure was a missed opportunity in the city core. He had an opportunity to move the batch plant out of downtown. Instead, he approved their permit.
Apparently, Rod Vilhauer never saw a warehouse or self storage facility he did not love, including the one Richwoods residents are upset about.

Bottom Line: Don’t like the warehouse zoning next to residential? Blame Warehouse Rod for APPROVING them in the 1990’s!

4. Zoning for Dollars: The Conflict of Interest Question

Here is where this stops being about the past and starts being about right now.

Rod Vilhauer must answer for an era of “zoning for dollars,” where he granted density to inflate land value for developers. The record suggests his P&Z seat served as a lead generation tool for residential development business. Vilhauer had a habit of being the one to “make the motion” or “make a second” during residential cases. It was basically a “Make a Motion Business Card” tactic used to curry favor with the developers who would later hire him.

Let’s talk about conflict of interest. Rod recused himself at least 10 times for conflicts of interest; that’s a massive red flag. And specifically regarding Centex Homes in Plantation Resort, he failed to recuse himself for subsequent Centex items which he should have, if the original conflict existed.

According to meeting minutes, Rod may have leveraged his position on the P&Z to pocket profit for his own personal construction business, voting for reduced setbacks and increased density at every turn. He certainly had the ability to solicit business based on his knowledge of these developments coming to Frisco. Ultimately he worked on many of these developments. In today’s world he may state he wants to get rid of specific religions, but he clearly knows that would be illegal as he was involved in several church zonings while on P&Z. Why is he lying to the public about what he can do? This is nothing other than race baiting rhetoric in his campaign.

Rod also served closely with Baxter Brinkmann on P&Z. What will happen if Brinkmann, who is known for maximizing entitlements and reducing quality, brings Brinkmann Ranch to a zoning decision with Rod as Mayor? This should be a concern to all citizen, but especially if you live on the east side of town. You want more development like the west side, but Rod is not known for that, expect the worst.

Rod also approved many Wade/Newman entitlements back in the day, so they may support Rod for Mayor and have an expectation of support for the future. This begs the question of all of these long standing development relationships: How many favors are coming due?

Vilhauer either worked on or voted for a “who’s who” of Frisco developments, including: Plantation Resort, Hillcrest estates, Preston Gables, Stonebriar, Preston Oaks, Preston Vineyards, Preston Glen, Prestmont, Stonebrook estates, Hickory Street Village, Preston Manor, Custer Creek, Prestmont Place, Preston Lakes, Preston Ridge, Preston Glen, Preston Oaks, Fairfield Estates, Hillcrest Highlands, Meadowbrook, Preston Highlands North, Starwood.Hillcrest Meadows, Creekside at Stonebriar, Lakes on Legacy, Heritage Green, Heather Ridge, The Trails.

All benefiting his own personal business.

Bottom Line: We cannot afford to crown the Density King, who prioritized developer profits and used the city to line his own personal pockets over the families of Frisco.

5. “Gated for Me, Not for Thee”: Starwood vs. Chapel Creek

The hypocrisy of the Density King is most evident in his treatment of local neighborhoods. While he ensured his own community, Starwood, was a gated sanctuary, he helped oversee an “impossible hurdle” ordinance for others.

Chapel Creek, for example, was barred from gating because of a heavy-handed ordinance requiring 100% resident acceptance and for the neighborhood to buy their own streets. This is an impossible hurdle, and he knew it. Who was responsible for all of Chapel Creek and other subsequent neighborhoods not being able to become gated? Rod Vilhauer, who ensured his own community at Starwood was gated.

Speaking of Starwood. Vilhauer also failed to protect his own neighbors in the Starwood Trail. Despite multiple opportunities during incremental zoning approvals to secure maintenance or ownership agreements for the trail, he failed to act. He left the neighborhood with a permanent maintenance problem that residents are still dealing with today.

Did anyone see that Rod recently took his own personal tractor out to his neighborhood trail and videoed himself cleaning up the mess he made? Too little, too late! He had multiple opportunities to require maintenance ownership on this Starwood Trail and failed to do so. Sure, he can mow it one time as a candidate for Mayor, but it is still a long-term neighborhood problem because of his failure to act while given the chance. Just more virtue signaling.

Bottom Line: Rod isn’t looking out for your best interests, only his own.

6. Meadow Hill Estates and Ferguson Automotive: Back Again?

This one is specifically for our residents at Meadow Hill Estates. You already know this story. Ferguson Automotive has tried twice to plant an automotive repair shop right next to your neighborhood, next to your homes, next to your daycare, next to the quality of life you chose Meadow Hill Estates for. Twice, you organized. Twice, you showed up. Twice, you won.

But Ferguson didn’t go away. He’s been waiting.

Don’t be surprised if Ferguson is holding his third attempt until after the June 13 election, specifically timing his return to see who ends up in the Mayor’s chair. Why?

Here’s what you need to know: Rod Vilhauer and Ferguson served together on Frisco’s Planning & Zoning Commission.

They are colleagues. They go back decades. And Vilhauer has a thirty-year documented record of using his public positions to deliver zoning outcomes and profit from the developer and business community he prioritized over residents.

Bottom Line: You beat Ferguson twice. What happens when his old colleague is the Frisco Mayor?

7. “No-Show” Rod: A Record of Absence when Frisco Needed Leadership

The most fundamental requirement of public service is showing up, yet Vilhauer’s record is defined by his invisibility. During his tenure on P&Z, Vilhauer was virtually a ghost, missing a total of 30 regular meetings. His absenteeism hit a disqualifying peak during his final term, where he missed 18 out of 51 meetings; that’s a staggering 35.3% absence rate!

While Frisco’s future was being debated and its land-use maps were being carved up, Vilhauer was elsewhere, lining his pockets for profit. For a man now asking to lead the entire city, this history of being “invisible” during critical years suggests a “what’s in it for me” approach to public duty.

Bottom Line: If Rod couldn’t be bothered to show up more than 65% for a P&Z commission seat, can he be trusted to show up 100% for you?

__________________

My Conclusion:

This is not ancient history. This is a pattern. And patterns don’t lie.

Frisco’s quality of life today exists in spite of what Rod Vilhauer did in the 1990s, not because of it. Our leadership has spent nearly 30 years and millions of taxpayer dollars correcting his mistakes. Some of those corrections are still unfinished.

Frisco is too important, too far along, and too hard-won to hand back to the Density King who nearly buried it. The families who live here, who chose Frisco for its safety, its schools, its parks, and its quality of life, deserve a Mayor whose only client is this city, not himself.

I am asking you, as someone who has read every page of this record, not to crown Rod Vilhauer, the Density King, as our Mayor. He had his chance, and he blew it. We deserve better.

When Arguments Fail, Bullies Attack:

A Look at Four Frisco Chronicles Hit Pieces

Public debate only works when people engage the issue. But when someone exposes uncomfortable facts like I documented in Transparency Matters some actors don’t respond with evidence. They respond with personal attacks.

That’s exactly what happened in the four Frisco Chronicles articles targeting me. Instead of addressing the substance of the transparency concerns, each piece leans on ad hominem attacks and bully‑style framing designed to intimidate, distract, and discredit.

1. “Fair Play”: Attacking the Messenger, Not the Message

This article doesn’t challenge a single fact from Transparency Matters. Instead, it tries to smear me by labeling, mocking, and assigning motives. That’s textbook ad hominem:

Ignore the evidence
Attack the person presenting it
Hope readers never notice the lack of rebuttal
When someone’s first move is name‑calling, it’s because they can’t argue the facts.

It also has a lengthy list of every day citizens that happened to like the post. Some are involved within the city, some are not. In any case this is a pure attempt at intimidation. Nothing more.

2. “Tracie’s Bill’s Hypocrisy”: Manufactured Narratives as a Substitute for Proof

Rather than engaging with the transparency issues raised, this piece invents a storyline about “hypocrisy” and tries to tie me to unrelated drama. It’s a classic bully tactic:

Create a caricature
Attack the caricature
Pretend the caricature is the real person
It’s easier to fight a strawman than to address real concerns about accountability in local government. And if you want hypocrisy, they are the hypocrites. They wrote articles about prior candidates using the City logo, made a big deal about it, but when their candidate uses the logo and gets called out, they defend the candidate when they should have been agreeing the candidate shouldn’t have used the logo. THAT’S hypocrisy.

3. “Bill’s Revenge Tour”: Emotional Framing to Avoid Substance

Calling my work a “revenge tour” is an attempt to delegitimize the motive so they don’t have to address the content. This is emotional manipulation masquerading as commentary.
The article never disputes the facts I published. It simply tries to convince readers that facts don’t matter because the person presenting them supposedly has a “vendetta.”
That’s not journalism. It’s character assassination.

4. “The Chihuahua’s Political Hit Piece”: Mockery as a Shield Against Accountability

When an outlet resorts to mocking nicknames, it’s because they’ve run out of arguments. This article uses ridicule as a weapon — a classic bullying move — to distract from the transparency failures I highlighted.

Mockery is not a rebuttal. It’s a smokescreen.

Why These Tactics Matter

Ad hominem attacks aren’t just empty they’re strategically designed to:

Shift attention away from the facts
Discredit the person raising concerns
Intimidate others from speaking up
Protect the group from scrutiny

When bloggers behave like a schoolyard bully, the community loses. We deserve debate based on evidence, not personal smears.

The Bottom Line

None of these four articles refute a single claim in Transparency Matters.
Not one.

Instead, they rely on:

Name‑calling
Mockery
Motive‑assigning
Character attacks
Manufactured narratives
These are the tools of people who cannot defend their position on the merits.

You'll notice there is no name calling allowed here. If someone wants to discuss facts we do that. No name calling.

Transparency isn’t a “hit piece.”
Accountability isn’t a “revenge tour.”
And calling someone names doesn’t make the truth disappear.

If anything, the intensity of these attacks only reinforces the point:
Some people really don’t want the public asking questions.

If “Hal” wants to meet me in public and have a public discussion about any or all of his posts, or mine, I’ll meet him. The problem? He won’t. I believe there are others writing these articles, and just as in his deposition, he won’t have answers for the questions I’d ask.

Summary of facts regarding the Heit / “FWB” Matter
https://friscowatchdog.com/transparency-matters/

Background Information

Jamie Heit is a long-time Frisco Resident, mother and wife who has donated countless hours of time and energy to charitable and non-profit efforts. While doing so, she created a page which is now titled “Frisco Residents Who Care” (“FRWC”).

FRWC started as a means to share information, communicate alternative options, and organize opposition, to an electrical substation from being constructed near a Frisco elementary school. After that successful effort Mrs. Heit was encouraged to repurpose the page, which she did, and the page became the community page it is today with more than 20,000 followers and is used to obtain local community information such as where to get a pet groomed, to find a repair person, or how to support local charities. It is not intended to promote or advocate for any political party or candidates.

Last year a website and page called the Frisco Chronicles/Frisco Chronicles Whistleblower (the “FWB” and/or “FWB Group”) wrote numerous (at least eight (8)) lengthy blog posts either specifically about Mrs. Heit and the Frisco Residents Who Care page or reference Mrs. Heit in such blog posts, both on its website and its page.

Public information indicates that several other pages usurping the Frisco Residents Who Care name were created by FWB supporters in an effort to discredit and ridicule Mrs. Heit including:

“Frisco Residents Who Argue” which information indicated was started by Mark Eisenman.

“Frisco Residents Who Are Really, Really Good Looking” which information indicated was started by Mark Eisenman after Frisco Residents Who Argue was shut down by Meta.

“Frisco Residents Who Actually Care” which information indicated was created by Mark Eisenman after Frisco Residents Who are Really, Really Good Looking was shut down by Meta.

“Frisco Residents Who Care for the Uncensored” which information indicated was administered by Chris Fields, Dan Strickland, Shannon Greer, Sarah Rouse and Millie Rhodes.

“Frisco Residents Who Care Freedom Chatter” which information indicates it’s currently administered by the Frisco Chronicles Whistleblower and Kelly Karthik the wife of current Frisco City Council candidate VJ Karthik.

Amongst other allegations, the FWB page and/or website also hosted comments which stated Mrs. Heit was a “groomer,” a racist, and fascist. Additional comments stated that Mrs. Heit was “the biggest chunk of excrement in the City of Frisco”, “a sad pathetic piece of trash”, and “a left-winged, socialist, Trump derangement syndrome idiot”. Further harassment included a caricature of Mrs. Heit as “Lady Overend Stupidity” and as voodoo doll with pins in it.

The FWB Group has left those comments up to this day.

The Court Ruling

As a result of the actions of the FWB, Mrs. Heit believed she had been defamed and harassed. Accordingly, she filed a pre-suit discovery request, which is different than an actual lawsuit, to investigate in accordance with Texas law.

A District Court in Denton County held a full evidentiary hearing on the request for pre-suit investigation and information. The FWB who was represented by Steve Noskin, a former FISD school board member, fought against the request for information and transparency. The court ruled in Mrs. Heit’s favor and ordered information to be provided, including who investigated the information contained in the blog posts and Facebook posts, who wrote the blog post and Facebook post and who was involved in the FWB group.

The FWB appealed the decision to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals ruled against the FWB Group and in Mrs. Heit’s favor.

The Court Order required the respondent to “identify, and designate, and permit the oral deposition of the person or persons with the most knowledge pf the following…” and identified numerous subject matters on which testimony and information was to be provided and ordered a deposition. A copy of the Order can be reviewed here:

Public Records Indicate the FWB Legal Representative Is A Violent Criminal Who Committed Perjury

A man named Hal Craig Douglass, an Uber driver, appeared for deposition as the legal representative of the FWB.

Public records indicate Mr. Douglass has been known by various names, including but not limited to “Hal Craig” which is one of the names he uses on Facebook, “Hal Douglass,” and “Craig Douglass.” According to his deposition testimony, he also uses at least one woman’s name, Sybil Watkins-Douglass, when posting on sites such as Reddit and Nextdoor. These names of various compositions have been used for PIR requests with the City of Frisco.

In his deposition, which is publicly available via court reporter transcript, Mr. Douglas testified that although he has been arrested twice he was not charged with a crime. However public records indicate he has been arrested for and charged with violent crimes. Some of those records can be reviewed here: Hal Craig
https://friscowatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Hal-Record.pdf

Arrest Records and court records (all of which are publicly available and some of which are attached) state Mr. Douglass was arrested and charged with violent crimes including assault with family violence when, as his wife was putting a child in her car, Mr. Douglass “grabbed her by the hair and slammed her face into the car door. The Complainant fell to the ground. The Complainant got into the car and the Suspect attempted to grab her again, but the Complainant drove away. The Complainant suffered a gash on her nose, a swollen bloody nose, and knot on her forehead and scratches on her face.”

Public records also indicate Mr. Douglass was later charged with more assault and family violence including an event in which the “Evidence substantiates guilt” for, and he pled “Guilty/Nolo Contendere” to get a reduced sentence for hitting his wife in the face “with a closed fist breaking her glasses and causing her face to bleed.”

Mr. Douglass then testified that he is the only person responsible for the FWB blog posts and Facebook posts. But, when asked about numerous FWB posts stating the authors are a married couple and that used plural terminology like “we,” “us” and “our” which does not match his personal background, Mr. Douglass testified that those references were him using “a persona.” FWB posts making statements such as, “I am a middle-of-the-road conservative, and my wife is a democrat, and we are a beautiful house divided. I write the articles, and my wife reads every one of them before we publish and tells me what to change. We have lived in Frisco 15 – 20 years in the same home” do not match Mr. Douglass personal life or background and he testified again that he was “using a persona.” Likewise, FWB posts statements that the FWB lives in Senate District 30 and that the FWB page administrator is from Johannesburg does not match Mr. Douglass’s background. Mr. Douglass testified that certain types of information stated in the FWB posts are not accurate as part of his “persona” but that people reading the blog posts should believe the other statements made in the blog posts anyway.

Mr. Douglass was also not able to state with any specificity how blog posts and Facebook posts were researched, created, edited or published. Regarding a high-profile matter that became known as the “Tammy Tapes” regarding a former Frisco City Council member, Mr. Douglass testified he could not recall who provided those audio recordings (but also testified that the other person in the tapes was Sangita Datta) and further testified that the could not recall what software was used to edit the audio recordings. Furthermore, Mr. Douglass was unable to state how he gained access to certain information and materials from the FRWC page and testified that he was only a member of FRWC for one day.

Supporters of the FWB

The following people attended the evidentiary Court hearing in support of the FWB Group:

Shannon Greer, a politically active non-resident of Frisco and resident of Hackberry.
Vijay Karthik, a current Frisco City Council candidate.
Kelly Karthik, Vijay Karthik’s wife and administrator of the Frisco Residents Who Care – Freedom Chatter page who raised money selling FWB t-shirts and supported a FWB Go Fund effort to raise money for the FWB and Steve Noskin.
Patrick Wamhoff, husband of current Frisco School Board candidate Misty Wamhoff.
Jackie Wakin, a person active in local politics.

When Mr. Douglass was asked if he and his friends Patrick Wamhoff and Mark Eisennman (who Mr. Douglass testified are friends of his and are often seen in Facebook photographs together) thought it was ok to target Mrs. Heit and for her to be called a “groomer” and a racist and fascist, attorney Ben Noskin (Steve Noskin’s son) would not allow Mr. Douglass to answer that question.

Mr. Douglass testified that Kelly Karthik and Millie Rhoades were added as administrators to the Frisco Residents Who Care – Freedom Chatter Facebook group and that Kelly Karthik helped with selling t-shirts and raising money for the FWB Group.

Mr. Douglass also testified that Frisco City Council member Brian Livingston had provided information to the FWB and that former City Council Member Dan Stricklin (who served less than one year on Frisco City Council and has a criminal history that required Mr. Stricklin to attend a Court-ordered “Batterer’s Intervention Program”) provided information to the FWB.
https://friscowatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Stricklin.pdf

After the deposition, Mr. Douglass and Steve Noskin were given the courtesy of the opportunity to designate another witness as the legal representative of the FWB Group. They declined to do so.

Following the deposition, subpoenas were issued to others, including but not limited to City Council member Brian Livingston and campaign manager Chris Fields.

Chris Fields is a campaign manager and politically active person in Frisco. He testified that City Council member Brian Livingston is his best friend and that he is friends with Shannon Greer. Mr. Fields testified that it is his understanding that the FWB Group is made up of multiple people and that he believes Mr. Douglass is a fall guy for the FWB. He also testified that Shannon Greer bragged about being the Frisco Chronicles Whistleblower. There are also a large number of Facebook exchanges between Shannon Greer and Mr. Douglass showing they are friends and advocate for the same political candidates, and that they do so with Patrick Wamhoff, Vijay Karthik and Kelly Karthik.

City Council member Brian Livingston testified in Court that Shannon Greer told him that Mr. Douglass was a fall guy for the FWB Group. Mr. Livingston also testified that he discussed topics and information with Shannon Greer that then appeared in FWB blog posts.

During the discovery process, information was received that Brian Livingston also told a Frisco resident the FWB Group had decided that the FWB would put up Mr. Douglass as a fall guy, and if that did not work, they would identify Shannon Greer. That information also indicated Mr. Livingston said that attorney “[Steve] Noskin was in on it from day one” and that Dan Stricklin was involved in setting up the FWB Group, and that Jackie Wakin, Sarah Rouse and others were also involved in the FWB Group. That information also showed that Mr. Livingston stated that he had been asked to confirm things, and was sent FWB articles in advance, and those things and advance articles were from Shannon Greer.

Other information during the discovery process, which is still being vetted, has indicated that the following may have been involved in the FWB Group:

Dan Stricklin, a former City Council member.
Shannon Greer, a politically active non-resident of Frisco and resident of Hackberry.
Patrick Wamhoff, the husband of FISD School Board candidate Misty Wamhoff.
Jackie Wakin, a politically active person in Frisco.
Kelly Karthik, the wife of current City Council Candidate Vijay Karthik.
Stephanie Elad, current Frisco ISD School Board Member.
Jared Elad current Frisco City Council Member.
Mark Eisenmann.
Steve Noskin, former FISD School Board member.
Star Patriots, a PAC run by Steve Noskin.
Michelle Milholland, administrator of the page “Parents of Frisco ISD.”
Sarah Rouse.

People who supported and contributed to the FWB Group Go Fund Me effort to take in money included but are not limited to:

Hal Craig a/k/a Craig Douglas.
Patrick Wamhoff
Vijay Karthik
Michelle Milholland
Carrie De Moor, prior political candidate.
Ram Mehta
Muni Janagarajan, current political candidate.
Angela Waits
Casey Waits.
Risk Regarding “Information” on Social Media

It is prudent and advisable to perform due diligence on “anonymous” websites and “anonymous” online protesters and authors because allegations and statements made as fact may not be truthful, factual or reliable. It is also advisable to be skeptical of, or to perform due diligence regarding, profiles of social media users and social media groups not known to the reader because there are a voluminous number of “fake” profiles and “fake” groups on social media. Just because a social media poster or group claims to be transparent does not make it true. To be transparent, a poster or group should tell you who they really are and what the real information on an issue is. You deserve that type of transparency.
