no taxpayer discount

"If I was running a business, and I was charged pennies to run it, so be it." What are the chances that Mr Santana wrote this comment? or the MDAC swim team chief? It COULD be either one, of course, because they are BOTH running businesses in our city for pennies on the dollar at the taxpayers expense! The taxpayers however, get NO such discount and are charged the full amount. Straight out of the taxpayers pockets and into their pockets! What is wrong with this picture?
