McClure Slams ArtsQuest

You don't see Lamont McClure at Committee or Budget hearings. He's too good for them. The only time he shows up is if it involves District Attorney John Morganelli. You see, McClure's wife works for Morganelli. McClure has no respect for the people he represents, but definitely wants to make sure his wife continues receiving her paycheck. Morganelli was present at yesterday's Budget hearing, so McClure also made one of his rare appearances.

While waxing on about the 9% increase in hotel tax revenue, he took a gratuitous shot at ArtsQuest. He complained that the County stood on its head to ensure that one of the ArtsQuest tracts received a tax exemption. he also grumbled that about seven executives there are paid over $100,000 per year.

According to their 2011 Form 990, three ArtsQuest employees make over $100,000. This nonprofit produces $18 million in revenue every year.

  2. So I guess McStupid is not in the running to replace Jeff Parks as it's front man...

  3. With Callahan in line to be the next leader of ArtsQuest, you will see McClure's disdain for the organization daily. He is so bitter he will want to crush any opportunity available to the guy that crushed him in the primary.

  4. And yet they still rely on volunteers to do the work.

  5. Artsquest is a Ponzi scheme. Wait until Callahan becomes the president of it.

  7. Stop disparaging this decent and honorable man. I find your opinions and slurs reprehensible in light of your track record with former clients which led to the loss of your law license.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
