More about Fireworks Funding

7/7/11

The Insider received an email with the following about the Excelsior Chamber's fireworks and 4th of July celebration funding by Shorewood.

Also, the Insider wishes to remind Shorewood residents and the Council that it is illegal to "Donate" public funds for any reason. It appears to the Insider that the transfer of money to the Excelsior Chamber was not properly documented in the Council motion and vote such that it was clear that the transfer was a legal one and for delivery of services for benefit of Shorewood. As usual Lizee and Zerby ignore the "messiness" of doing things legally and by the rules.

Happy reading!

Lomah and Anonymous have it right. Shorewood property owners are subsidizing 30% of the fireworks so cruise operators can sell fireworks packages, and other local businesses can capitalize off this? Seriously?

And, it appears CM Zerby, as President of the Chamber, voted to feather the nest of his pet project at the expense of his constituents. Another red flag.
