Good government groups have said this week's video is a
questionable use of city
funds that came off more like a
campaign ad than your standard issue press release.
Present local law fails to reasonably preclude — and could actually enable — county officers and employees from accepting an overabundance
of questionable gifts, skirting
campaign contribution limits through the
use of the LLC loophole, abusing their offices and taxpayer
funded items to freely self - promote their personal names and images (or «brand»), and awarding contracts to those vendors who unabashedly pay to play in county government.
