Imagine the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea having spent $76,280 on the rehabilitation and restoration of the National Register of Historic Places Flanders Mansion for the benefit of present and future generations instead of misguidedly having spent $76,280 to a consulting attorney for the primary purpose of avoiding a vote of Carmelites on the fate of the Flanders Mansion!

Absolutely! Not to mention the attorney fees for Flanders Foundation after the city lost in Monterey court.
ReplyDeleteAnother sad example of the mayor's confusion over personal desire versus what is in the best interests of Carmelites collectively. She fails to understand public service and what makes for a good mayor.
