Amazing. Operators should be very careful and seek wise counsel before they make donations to council members in attempts buy or influence votes or agreements with cities. I’ve seen it first hand with my own overly eager, short sighted, ham fisted clients in this industry and the same sort of whistle blowing article came out. It cost the politician the seat and it may still cost the operator the most valuable sign they’ll ever own. Be smarter, owners and operators!
