Re: flood benefit concert.
How about Lakewood church start paying their property taxes on that giant arena in high rent area? That’ll surely put a lot of money toward flood control, money that we all have to cover from our own property tax bills. They are stealing money from us taxpayers to ‘donate’ some of it back to us.
Not to mention that Lakewood’s purchase of the arena from the CoH for $1 stinks of corruption.
