Gazette headline

Its easy to see whats coming down the line. GAZETTE HEADLINE- Pelican Players Agree to Use NEW 300+ Seat Theater For One Dollar Per Year! City Manager negotiates yet another handshake agreement where City residents will pay ALL the expenses of Pelican Players plus hire the owner to a lucrative contract to direct the ensemble! Minimal-to-NO monies will be wasted on such pesky details as documenting the actual number and types of admissions, or expenses, as this is a system that has served the City Manager well at the pool over the years, despite the protests of the taxpayers! Instead, those monies will be invested in a limo and driver for the Director! Any possible losses would be covered by the City, of course, and any possible profits will go to the for-profit business, as usual! City management and Council are willing for the tax paying residents to pay ANY price to help local businessmen profit! Dont believe us? Just ask Mr. Santana, the MDAC swim team, or local construction contractors! ALL are making VERY NICE livings at the taxpayers expense! City revenues are down some this year tho. Some residents have resisted paying the higher fees and taxes we have assessed them. We are on to them, tho. Some have even sought refuge in unemployment checks, garage sales, and home foreclosures to avoid paying the higher fees and taxes (slackards), so this Grand Opening may be for a limited engagement! So come to the new Bob Best Theater for the Performing Arts while we are still solvent!
