Welcome Bill Hanbury

To a town and a dynamic you are certainly quite familiar with, that of information and truth being hidden from the public, and only a select few being granted access to critical decision-making data. We still don't know what happened during the aborted CEO search, and likely never will, but when its not your money (meaning when it doesn't come directly from you via door to door shakedown, but rather comes indirectly from you because visitors don't have as much left to spend after VEP extorts their share at the entrance gate), you are a mushroom in every sense of the word, and you and VEP can run things with Jeffrey Epstein-level impunity. Plus you don't live here, which is critical because those of us who live here are automatically disqualified from any input on matters or positions of importance. Our stupidity in thinking living here and having skin in the game should be a requirement for making decisions that impact other residents' lives is outmoded and juvenile. VEP would outsource our town to Beijing or Tehran if they thought it would bring in a couple more bucks. All hail Kara Franker. We bow to you because we are too inferior to look you in the eye. We don't need to advertise something that advertises itself, so let's give millions of dollars to outsiders to let them convince us the opposite is true.
