What the LCCCA staff does is prevent the “private partners” from taking more than their share of revenue from the “integrated facility”. Without the watchdog role played by Kevin Molloy and Mary Ellen Davis (supervised and assisted by Kevin Fry and the LCCCA board), the “private partners” would easily be able to get away with taking a whole lot more from taxpayers than the “agreements” entitle them to (the terms of which were coerced onto taxpayers under the repeated threat of the “private partners” pulling out of the project).
You are correct, one part-timer could open the mail and schedule meetings. But that would literally be handing all checks and balances involving taxpayer dollars over to the “private partners”. Do you really trust the people behind this project to fairly manage OUR tax dollars???
OK to publish with my real name.
