LOOK AT
THIS...WASTED FUNDS!! OK this city is in BAD need of turn
around and this is how your DLBA spends your money. Seriously
Robert F. Kennedy Jr?
RFK, Jr. is a patriot and a strong environmental activist we know
that and respect that.
Though this might sound interesting we need every cent from
DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH ASSOCIATES going back into DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH.
This is the STATE OF DOWNTOWN LBC event correct?
Good grief why do these people have check books. This is another
massive waste of tax base funds. People will walk out thinking
"Wow, a Kennedy" and then will forget everything he said because it
has little to do with LBC.
No, we get that the environment is important and are in full favor
of helping but isn't that the point here? Aren't there are tons of
ways to spend this money to create the necessary changes or to at
least put change in motion. Spending what is probably a couple
hundred thousand dollars (we'll look into to it and get back to you
on the figure) on just the speaker is down right stupid. You don't
think a Kennedy comes cheap do you?
Might as well call the event "RFK Jr's me make money off DLBA
event"
We found the following posted on Craigslist. Ok, we all just
laughed at that. Craigslist? Really? So you're all tapped out on
this keynote speaker that you're advertising the event on
Craigslist? Another example of the robust DLBA marketing
machine.
