  1. Do you know if they stipulated that an audit would/should be done into how the people who run Spirit Mountain make their decisions? Why there wasn’t any insurance to cover the event? It drives me crazy how the city keeps handing money over without any answers ever being required!

    • The state audits Spirit Mountain, an exercise which basically amounts to watching the ship sink. They can’t do anything about a shortage of money, other than make sure what’s there is accounted for.

  2. You snip out the ONE time in 20 years that city officials acknowledged that local people pay the tax. You cite the date, the venue, and the official. Well done, John. There is not much that slips past you.
