How is this justified?
Did the city do this, or is it through the CVB with hotel bed tax funds?

The city does provide CVB a portion of these $.  The group then makes grants to support a variety of events.  

Linda Moorman used to head.  Not sure who's head now.

Pretty self-serving if she is still involved with the CVB and asked for the grant.  Especially now that they control that corner with ML and sole Canal Pub ownership.

Ok Mr. Adkins, enough is enough.

Given the fact that the city practice of taxpayer dollar usage is to buy downtown properties, try to sell them.....fail to sell them and eventually give them away for a fraction of the purchase price, coupled with developmental loans to people like Robinette and Grau just to see them back out of the agreed upon contract for final development in exchange for a city money give-away.......and now, if this information by Middletown29 is accurate, the city is using taxpayer money to foot the bill for pay for private sector entertainment for their pals at Murphy's Landing? If Murphy's Landing wants to bolster their business by using entertainment as a draw, let them finance the idea, not the taxpayers. The public sector city needs to stop financing the private sector business operations.

That is quite enough focus and concentration on your downtown dream sir. There are many in this town who pay taxes that do not want their money going to the black hole known as your downtown area. It has been a huge waste of money so far, yielding an end result that is not even close to the money outlay. C'mon city leaders. Please stop the money spending on the downtown and start dispersing it elsewhere. Contrary to popular belief, the downtown is not the save all/end all to being the remedy for solving the city's problems. The money distribution in this city is not even close to being efficient nor directed in the right manner as to real priorities needed. Why is this happening Mr. Adkins?
I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.

It isn't
Simply the sos
U would think that they could get better bands
Why not go back to having shows in the parks with different types of music?

So why not $30,000 for Douglas Park?
Sunset?
OUR soccer park?/

For the nth time--spread it around, Mr.A
Same message to council members -- they keep approving this
