SAB Dept. of Flummery, Dupery & Nincompoopery: Only $500 Budgeted for Another All-White VIP Tent At St. Augustine Beach?

via GIPHY





Like an Energizer Bunny, nonfeasance, misfeasance, malfeasance and corruption in St. Augustine Beach keeps "going and going and going."

St. Augustine Beach City "Manager" BRUCE MAX ROYLE has produced another phony budget document: a putative "budget" for the proposed December 31, 2018 "Beach Blast Off!"

It includes a mere $500 for the Fancy Bears "V.I.P. Tent" for 100 people at St. Augustine Beach -- an all-white V.I.P. tent in past years.   There is talk that the alcohol-fueled New Year's Eve event will be "privatized."  See below.

You paid for it, dear reader.

 It's our money.

For those who are laughing, here's more: BRUCE MAX ROYLE's reply to Merrill Paul Roland's concerns, including a postscript urging Mr. Roland to avoid laughing too loud lest he get a "hernia.":

Mr. Roland,

First, there aren’t 25,000 people all at once in the pier park. People come and go. Also, many of the thousands are on the beach.

Second, the City is outsourcing the event. The organization selected to manage the beer/wine sales and other  event activities will have to provide insurance.

Third, the TDC grant, if the City receives it, mandates that half the grant amount, $7,500, be spent on advertising.

Fourth, the Events Coordinator obtains in-kind donations from a sponsor or sponsors for the VIP area.

Max

P.S. Please don’t laugh too hard. You might get a hernia.
