No more free Orange County Fair concert tickets for Matt “Jubal” Cunningham (editor of the Red-faced County blog) and the legion of greedy local Republican – and Democratic – politicians and their employees! “The Fair Political Practices Commission, the state’s top political watchdog, ruled Thursday that public officials must treat such freebies as gifts—subject to a strict $420 annual limit—or as taxable income. Each council or agency will be responsible for deciding whether the tickets are something the official “earned” or are a gift,” according to the O.C. Register.
“The Register reported that Orange County Fair Board members had accepted a total of 8,892 free tickets worth $376,532 for top-name concerts at the Pacific Amphitheatre during the last two years.”
Many of those tickets went to people like Cunningham, who admitted on this blog that he received said tickets. He never apologized for wasting taxpayer resources in this fashion. None of the greedy local politicos who received these tickets ever apologized. And many of them also were fed “free” food at taxpayer expense!
Proceeds from the OC Fair are supposed to be used to run the Fair and if there are surpluses that should be public revenue. The OC Fair Board has raised ticket prices every year, for years, and they did it again this year. I wonder why? Obviously they waste a lot of Fair revenue on themselves! One of the biggest pigs on their board was none other than the indicted wife of disgraced former O.C. Sheriff Mike Carona. Poor Debbie Carona. She even looks like a “Carny!” (See Debbie’s picture above, while a real Carny is pictured below). They could be sisters! No wonder Carona kept cheating on poor Debbie…
I have been boycotting the O.C. Fair ever since the concert ticket scandal broke out. Perhaps now I can bring my kids to the Fair once more. But I am going to hold out until the greedy GOP pigs on the current O.C. Fair Board resign or are replaced.
B*tch slap to you jubal…ohhhhh burn…in your face. bah haha gosh and the beat goes on.
Wow, Em…. !
lol.
The fair has not been a good value for a number of years. LA County fair is much better, imo.
Drinking and commenting, Em? I’m liking it!
Greedy OC Republicans, Voracious Democrats, and yo mama….in honor of the soup nazi on Seinfeld “No tickets for you”.
No tickee no shirtee and no more taxpayah lobstah, put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mister Joobie-dubal Cunningham! Yowzah! Terrorist fist jab.
About time.
See why these blogs are dangerous? Relying on rumor and innuendo, look what happens? Decent law abiding upstanding public servants being turned into greedy, money grubbing parasites and for what? For the amusement of some anonymous citizen with a laptop? No. For the amusement of millions of us. Welcome.
Art: Thank you for reminding readers again and again that Matt Cunningham–who always whines about government and how big it is–freely accepted tickets to the fair and defended it.
Matt: You’re a sick, disgusting hyporcrite.
Yes, Art, thank you! It practically took dyamite to get the pigs away from the trough.
