Wildwood pony's up $25,000.00 for BBQ Bash (click here for the story !)
So what you say ? it's not our money you say ? Guess what, IT IS PART OF OUR MONEY ! You see a while ago a Mayor of Crestwood (and other mayors) got together with a County supervisor (and a Democratic State legislature) and the end result was a completely (political and) stupid idea to share the wealth from a "point of sale" City to those poor impoverished places like Wildwood (of all places.)
So the Crestwood Mayor (and the BOA) in typical "suck up to the County form" agreed to let Wildwood have $985,000.00 of our tax monies per year to "survive" as we had a plaza and poor little Wildwood did not ! Now this is still in full effect because the Mayor we have now is clearly afraid to stand up for us has done nothing to change this in the last few years, nor will he !
Guess what we have a State House and Senate who would be very sympathetic to this change, and we Have Mr. Dennis Hancock, Mayor of Fenton who has decried this for some time now and would go up with us I am sure. Now if we were to vote in a Mayor with the common sense and nerve to go for it we may get it changed in this current legislative session !
In any case it seems Wildwood is doing OK now if they can drop $25,000.00 on BBQ, no ?
Oh, did I mention that their City Attorney is Rob Golterman of Lewis, Rice and Fingerish ?

Perhaps the BOA and mayor should receive a request for information regarding their actions to correct the unbalanced allocation of resources.
