Fitzgerald has already left! I heard he works for Johnny Carino’s in Idaho Falls. Wonder how he will keep his job as Bobbie’s biggest cheerleader and fund raiser?

The latest on the GBAD v BCVB saga:

I also recall that BCVB staffers received unemployment and extended unemployment benefits while they awaited “funding.” Don’t know if they still do.

A look at the July 11 minutes – the latest available despite the fact that two meetings have been held since – will give you an idea of how poorly our tax dollars are being managed by the GBAD board. http://www.gbadnow.com/GBAD-meetings.asp

If you want to see mean and nasty, go to this website….

And by the way, can we PLEASE get back to the purpose of this article. Mr. Fitzgerald’s unprofessional behavior certainly qualifies him as a “stooge”.

Get over your “Holier than thou” self Gail, errrrr Betty.

A public citizen shouldn’t have to submit a public records request for items like minutes, financials and RFPs. These things should be posted on the website after a public meeting. It’s called accountability. What we need to do is change the music. As GBAD continues to spend a lot of tax dollars on this travesty and on “plans” to expand the center, nothing’s happening but a lot of infighting and name calling. It’s way past time for our tax dollars to be spent in a more constructive manner and on projects that actually benefit the citizenry. And yes boys, Hotelier may collect the tax from travelers, but the public authorized this district, the public elects this board and these are public tax dollars we’re talking about.

So why suggest that the three of you just get it over with and file your lawsuit?

Simple. Some of us are tired of all the rhetoric and no action. And if you don’t agree, let’s review some of your more constructive comments:

Nate: Please, just go away.

Eric: Good grief..This is like trying to teach my Grandma how to program a DVR!!!

Eric: Hy do you know?—just kidding because we all know he doesn’t know–ehhehe

Eric: oh by the way what in the blue hell is “hopelessly trusting voter”?????

Eric: Just as Mr. Classy pointed out.

Eric: Remember Captain Run on Sentence

Hotelier: “…are you smoking crack?! What does bug me is the thought of Bobby getting any more of it to line her own pockets.

Eric: He will just nod with everything Chicago is spewing or lying about….

Nate: I’d be willing to bet that the 3 stooges opinion would change…he rest of Bobbies lackeys..

Eric: I would really be upset but Chicago does’t even know he is breaking the law or maybe he does and he is just hiding behind the 3 quarter length skyjumper sport coat of his that, by the way, is sooooo 1991….hehehehe

Hotelier: “…doesn’t need the outdated services, self-inflated egos or disgusting behavior…”

Hotelier: Another person missing from the media is the 79 year-old CVB director Bobbie Patterson. Where is she? it’s not normal for her to miss out on any type of media attention.

Real nice, eh?

Why is it you keep coming back to this “file your lawsuit” comment.

Your “shut up” comments as well as “have another drink” are insulting. The overall tone you take in these posts reminds me of Fitzgerald’s memo.

Again, why is it you are so interested here? What do you have at stake? Why do you CARE about whatever information might be contained on-line in regards to GBAD or the BCVB? Do you have anything at risk or are you simply a “concerned citizen”. Some of us read these posts because of their humor, knowing that there really isn’t much that can be done about this mess other than to watch the impending implosion. Your activity here suggests so much more, as does your aggression.

So, whats the deal Betty? Are you a hotelier with an axe to grind, one of the BCVB “volunteers” that used to get paid by GBAD, or one of Bobbie’s vendors (software I suspect) that is angry at getting her meal ticket shredded?

No matter, if you want more information than what is already posted on-line, then call Pat Rice and ask him for the information, or complete a public records request.

Both you and Fitzgerald are a couple of class acts, aren’t you. You should be impressed with yourself. You’ve attempted to draw attention away from the crux of this article, which was the bombastic, unprofessional behavior of MIKE FITZGERALD. What a pair! You are made for each other.

I did hear Fitzy was planning on being at the meeting this week. Is he going to pay the GBAD back for the cost of the AV guy?? He will just nod with everything Chicago is spewing or lying about….I will be the guy laughing when you do, Classy!!!

As much you say you never read Dave’s page we all know you do. You would be even stupider then I thought, if you didn’t

The guy is embarrassment to state government.

nan emouse answer my question!!!!!!

Come on. File your lawsuit.
