Latest Convention Center scandal
[In response to "Another CC/Hotel Scandal?"]
Newslanc may be at a loss but this reader is not.
While the lack of proper and separate metering may fly in the face of common sense and the most basic responsibilities for the LCCCA to provide accountability and transparency to the taxpayer, this omission is well in-line with every aspect of this project and the LCCCA’s poor stewardship since day one.
Lots of people think that the LCCCA has changed in recent years and while the Morris led board may have been better than those that preceded him, the bar was set wo low by Pickard and Darcus, that simple improvement does not begin to get us where we should be.
Case in point. Whether you wish to go back to the first set of one-sided agreements signed between PSP and the LCCCA, including the $100/year rent on the taxpayer funded public space that Marriott would have forced them to build, or the LCCCA’s decision to ignore all of their own advisers and select PSP’s common management model, the LCCCA has never been anything but a taxpayer funded rubber stamp for Dale High.
Anyone who cites this latest revelation with surprise knows nothing about the LCCCA or its history, and those who do not know and understand it, are destined to repeat it.
