Dubious consultant, Don Allen Holbrook, sued all the taxpayers that dared to comment and numerous bloggers, journalists and newspapers that wrote about the failed Earthquest project and lost. He is now resorting to making death threats in order to silence me.

Frank McCrady should have checked Holbrook out. With this kind of behavior from the brainchild of the project there will be no way to ever bring it to fruition. -
Still dipping into the public trough for an obviously failed project:

Chris Brown and the mysterious investors did not show as promised. Earthquest will now be taken off of future EMCID agendas until such time as Brown has money and contracts in hand.

After the lawsuits, many ground breaking dates that have come and gone and talk of choosing from numerous investors for years on end, I have to question why the papers are still repeating anything said by Chris Brown, Don Holbrook or Frank McCrady as if it is fact. Is that legitimate reporting?
-
Please clarify. Are you saying the property designated for EarthQuest that was lost in bankruptcy will be repurchased before the December 15th, 2013 deadline as set in the bankruptcy filing? Has Friendswood Development agreed to an extension or are they still planning to build homes on that property as they previously stated?
-
-
The option for the Earthquest developers to repurchase the property from Friendswood as outlined in the bankruptcy docs expires in 14 weeks on December 15,2013. We are down to the wire.

Chris Brown is now admitting he needs half of a billion dollars just to get this underway. This dinosaur appears to be dead. I am betting on Grand Texas! -
Yikes! This will certainly have the investors running!

A source says there may be a story airing on Channel 2 Investigates concerning Earthquest at 10:00p.m. this evening.

The meeting actually started at 5:30. Frank McCrady can't even see that a correct meeting notice is published. So, here is the story from The Tribune for those that want the details on what Chris Brown of Contour Entertainment presented:

This has not been well-publicized. Here is the late notice:

Awesome update! Notice all the opinionated Texans speaking out on the comment section. Don Allen Holbrook will not silence the taxpayers of the great State of Texas!!!
Chris Brown isn't going to get away with claiming Earthquest is a private business matter after the millions upon millions of tax dollars thrown at this pipe dream!

The local news at 10:00 has another report on EMCID tonight!
-
http://ourtribune.com/article.php?id=14410
Don Allen Holbrook has continued to pillage and plunder the EMCID taxpayers for a defunct charity he helped to run into the ground. Through May of this year Frank McCrady paid Holbrook $8,334.00 a month of tax dollars (which was the only income listed on his August 2011 ongoing bankruptcy). All this time Holbrook claimed the Earthquest Institute was on hiatus and he told the accountants to withhold documents required by law to be public.
Frank McCrady is trying to withhold documents concerning the exorbitant amount the taxpayers are spending on high priced attorneys he had to hire as multiple agencies are investigating the Earthquest debacle. It is time to show Frank McCrady the door!!!

The "bankrupt economic developer" our own Don Allen Holbrook is under fire again:

Dino Don came in with an interactive dino museum aptly named Dinosaur City with an interactive dino museum, dino dig and IMAX theater that was projected to cost around $50,000,000.00. Earthquest is the blown-up mega theme park born of that seed that Don Holbrook is very much responsible for.
Judging from the intensifying media coverage, it seems the public is quite interested in Don Holbrook's role in this dino disaster. He was the focus of much of Click 2 Houston's recent stories. Sadly, Don Holbrook is still threatening everyone who dares to comment. The taxpayers should never be afraid to discuss where and how their tax dollars are being spent!

Part 3 is very informative. The CEO behind the defunct Earthquest Institute and brainchild behind the perpetually stalled and likely failed Earthquest theme park are on in the same --- Don Allen Holbrook.

The media is running with the story I broke about the Earthquest Institute and Don Holbrook:
-
Channel 2 Investigates will be airing a story on Earthquest tonight on the 10:00 news.

Don Holbrook's sickening attack on the John and Jane Does (taxpayers commenting on a matter of public concern - Earthquest) has ended. All of the remaining defendants in his third-party lawsuit in Ohio have been dismissed by the judge, so that case is effectively over. We taxpayers have every right to comment on Earthquest! Holbrook's bid to drag everyone into court in Ohio was beyond ridiculous. Frank McCrady best check out people he is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to much more carefully!

Don Allen Holbrook, the failed Economic Developer involved with Earthquest, is once again committing resume fraud:
Dear Ms. Dobrott,
In doing my preliminary review I've discovered that Don Holbrook's membership and CEcD status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation. We currently have no relationship with Don Holbrook and so cannot put this case in front of our Committee on Professional Conduct.
Best regards,
Tracy
