$2 entry fee per swimmer was for meets? practice? Krop was listed there ONCE, with 50 kids, I believe. Is THAT accurate? We hosted the Jr Orange Bowl swim meet- what kind of revenues did we receive from THAT? Or was that ANOTHER "showcase" freebie? Anybody know what, if any, revenues we received from the Iggy Pop commercial shot at the gym a couple weeks ago? The public couldnt use it for a week, so you might think we would be compensated in SOME way, no? Perhaps THAT was another free "showcase"? We have become a Fountain of Freebies. Take our Country Club, free, Mr Santana, and while you are at it, heres 100k in FREE electricity. Please take our tennis courts, free, and we will throw in 22k for you too! Mr Contractor, we have 400k in FREE money for YOU for the CC addition, over and above what it actually costs to do the job! Now the poor bathroom contractor ONLY got 280k in free extra money for the bathrooms! But he DID receive 33k and 28k in free money for the bathroom elevations and sewer hookup! Our City is a proverbial FOUNTAIN of Freebies! You want to have swim team practices and meets here for FREE! Sure! Just take a number and get in line! Theres plenty of tax money for all you special interests! And if we start to run low, the Council will just raise the taxes and fees so that ALL of you can feed at the City trough!
