how much is enough?

There are three electrical meters at the Country Club. One is for the pro shop and their power expenses; one is definately for Mr. Santana, and the third nobody seems to know who is responsible for, according to the City Manager. It turns out that the third one ALSO pays for Mr. Santana's electrcity AND we have been paying for his power since he took over, over ONE HUNDRED thousand dollars so far, and counting. That was NOT the deal. We are giving him free rent and paying the taxes on the CC-isnt THAT enough? In addition we built a VERY expensive enclosure for him so that he could have full use of 90% the CC for his private business,and we, the public who is paying for all his bills, could have use of the remaining 10%. Now we find out that we are paying for his electricity too ??? Incredible. The City Manager is apprently aware of this and it is happening on his watch and with his approval. ANOTHER sweetheart deal with the taxpayers money!! The City is running a deficit this year and will run a BIG deficit next year. We could use that 100k to pay some bills. Is there ANY place in the contract where it says we are going to pay his electric bill too? If so, we should fire the City Manager AND the City Attorney. If not, we should demand to be repaid the money already spent and pay NO MORE power bills for Mr. Santana. ANOTHER sweetheart deal! How many sweethearts can the taxpayers afford?
