cant or wont produce records?

Merry Xmas !! it is not clear if the City CANT, or WONT, provide the necessary records requested. It MAY be that they are in such a state of disarray and chaos that they couldnt FIND the records IF they ever existed. OR it could be that the incriminating records have been conveniently lost, and could miraculously arise at a later date! Or perhaps they are taking this holiday season to order another gallon of white-out and are ADJUSTING the records accordingly. The holidays are a time for INFINITE possibility ! The taxpayers pay the salaries of city officials, and have to answer to the taxpayers. EACH and EVERY taxpayer has a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. Is there any doubt or question about THAT? So when ANY business uses OUR facilities and doesnt pay the rent, we have a RIGHT to know WHY NOT! If they SAY they have paid the rent but the revenues are NOT reflected anywhere, then SOMEBODY should have records to confirm their claims. If they cant or wont produce the records, either the city or the business, then the citizens have EVERY right to doubt and question whether those revenues were collected, or not. So yes, MDAC, does not have to answer to the residents DIRECTLY, its not a legal requirement, but indirectly they DO. Does the City of Miami Springs want to do business with ANY entity that cant or wont produce records to prove payments have been made, or who hides behind a legal technicality to avoid doing the right thing? Be it a dozen, a hundred, or a thousand residents, each and every one has a RIGHT to know whether the City is being paid for the services THEY pay for! Any questions?
