Losing money in any environment ain't too smart Tom. Did this guy really go to college?

I thought it had been established that the dinner cruise was invaluable in terms of networking and in showcasing all of the wonderful business opportunities in Hammond. Fiscal geniuses like the Oracle assured the population of Hammond that this more than covered the cost of the cruise.

Wannabes and hangers-on all over the city are wringing their hands. This is one less opportunity to appear to be a big shot while sucking the wallets of Hammond homeowners dry.

I guess this means that there will be no sponsors for the fest this year. I remember hearing from this administration that the cruise was a NEEDED expense. Handing out free cruise tickets was the way they were able to reward sponsors.

If only the mayor and his cast of characters could get their story straight.

Straight Story?

Apparently this is well attended, a 100,000 people come to the Fest, but they can't find any money money from the parking.

Maybe this year they will get the percentages on the beer garden right.
