Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. Heads to Malaga, Spain By Himself



All City Commissioners refused Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. to violate Sunshine laws and go to Malaga, Spain for a meeting of the dodgy U.S.-Spain Council, which is headquartered in a lobbyist's home in Falls Church, Virginia.

While two other Commissioners (Roxanne Horvath and Donald Crichlow) are going to Spain, they will not violate Sunshine.

Two remaining Commissioners (Nancy Sikes-Kline and Leeana Freeman) are NOT going to Spain, not spending our money, and staying at home to greet the exchange group from Aviles and observe the 449th anniversary of the Menendez landing, to be celebrated Saturday, September 6, 2014, while one Mayor, two City Commissioners and assorted staff will be spending our money in Spain.

This time, they need to give us detailed trip reports upon our return, instead of one-word answers and smug justifications.

We must also have a detailed line item justification and response to Commissioner questions on the soaring $1 million budget for the 450th.

Our Visitor Information Center closes at 5 pm. This is why attendance was so low for Journey -- 450 Years of African American History. And so low for Picasso. This is mismanagement of our museum. Why was this not discussed before I raised it when the rabbis visited in June?

What do you reckon?
