there’s a running theme on this blog of having people minimize the significance of an event to try to make the conversation stop. (It seems to have the opposite effect.) Here’s a scenario that did NOT go down. A fervent resident presses a literally-pay-to-play-baseball check upon an official, who smiles, hands it back, and says, “We know how much you want this mondo field that the Schedler neighbors have good arguments against. If we go with it, believe me, we’ll come to you for a big donation. Until the council has voted to proceed, however, naturally you can see that we can’t accept any money. Think how that would look! And of course we wouldn’t be allowed to let it sit around without cashing it–there’s an ordinance against that–yet cashing it prematurely would give the wrong message about how the council makes its decisions. opening village government to valid criticism and potential lawsuits. That wouldn’t be good! See you at the Daily Treat!”

That is perfect, except it would be See You at The Bulldog Cafe, which is where Roberta and Paul hang out incessantly
People are more offended by Roberta’s actions than the fact that the RBSA has 100K (at least) in their war chest.
Are they gouging parents for sign-up fees…?
Are they cheating Bollinger on insurance premiums…?
Are they shaking down the sponsors…?
We better get some answers or the next check will be for $150K….and that will be hard to resist.
How much is a one-way ticket out of town?
sounds like the $100k was bribe money as it was attached to a condition that it is only available if they approve a 90 foot field. I also wonder why the RBA has $100k sitting around. sounds like they are gouging the kids they are supposed to be serving.
The parents of the kids in the baseball association should consider where all their fees go. It is ridiculous.
