Good post Vern! Can you list them all with photos please? (Like Art used to do with the Usual Suspects-photo cards) I’d like the reward if I spot one at the GOP Central Committee meeting next month.
Maybe use pictures on milk cartons?
A board with nothing left to do, but still collecting their perks.
A staff with nothing left to do, but still getting raises.
Good piece, Vern….
The Fair Board is not your problem.
Hi Bootsie! This old story is from February.
At this point – AUGUST – the Board is definitely not our biggest problem. But let’s never forget that the Fairgrounds wouldn’t be getting sold at all if it weren’t for their lobbying to get it sold. They are close allies and appointees of Governor Schwarzenegger, and they were hoping to buy it for themselves. I could go on, with the way they’ve mismanaged things, cut the equestrian center in half, wasted so much money on Weird Al’s Brain, etc. And right now they’re up to some other strange shenanigans.
But you’re right that right now – August 3 – our biggest problem is stopping the sale to Facilities Management West. Please visit my most recent story instead:
