The long promised meeting was an excercise in futility. The five year contract was a done deal. There was nothing left to do but make excuses for the problems of the past rallys, blame the locals wherever possible, and when a citizen’s comments hit too close to home, simply ignoring what was said and moving on with hopes that the next comment would come from someone somehow so vapid as to not have a negative opinion on last year’s siege.
That our town officials are completely unwilling to act in the interests of their constituents is readily apparent. Their pathetic contract is hopelessly one-sided in favor of the promoter. The town assumes so much liability and even has to pay security, such as it is, out of the feeble cash the promoter forks over for the pleasure of having the town at his disposal for almost four days.
