I was down at Moonlight Beach early on Friday morning. The street was blocked with a big crane as the crew was decorating the tree. I didn't see Crazy Louie anywhere, not even supervising.
8:12 Come to think of it, it seems like he told me last year was the last time he was going to light the tree. But he'd done it for many years, I know that. I was wrong once before, but later on I found out I was right about that.
Where do you think DEMA gets part of its money? DEMA gets a nice chunk of change of the taxpayers money from the council. The taxpayers are paying and paying and paying.
30K or less than 10% does comes from the city which is a far cry from the millions in tax payers dollars that all the other cities pay for redevelopment agencies, their staff and offices as other cities try to improve their downtowns.
(Encinitas has the best downtown)
Also, Dema pays the City of Encinitas 25k for law enforcement services downtown through the sheriffs dept. So it's a wash.
I also think Louie decorates the tree. All the lights are LED. Louie bought the led lights.
DEMA pays for the expenses and the utility bill each year, the tree does have it's own sdge address.
It's a noce gift to the community.
I think it has to be the largest living xmas tree in San Diego County. Now that is sustainability!
There used to be a star pine closer to the fire station and the hwy in that vicinity. Volunteers and the fire dept used to light it up. It was so enormous, I believe Washington D.C. nabbed it for their Christmas tree in the 60's sometime. What a waste. If it aint the city, railroad or billboard folk, it's the president robbing our trees.
Peace on Earth. What a nice Christmas dream.
ReplyDeletePeace is more than a dream. It is our duty to our children.
ReplyDeleteBe the change you want in the world. Fight against corruption and stand for justice and fairness.
stand for justice and fairness for others, rather than demanding it for yourself.
ReplyDeletePeace on earth and god willing kick Dalager off the government tit
ReplyDeletePeace on earth and god willing kick Dalager off the government tit
ReplyDeleteLet the poison from the government tit do in Dalager and send him back to where he belongs.
ReplyDeleteHey, that tree is decorated every year by my alma mater, Crazy Louie. Once again, great job Louie!
ReplyDeleteBah Humbug!!
ReplyDeleteHow can such a backward ass hillbilly such as Dalager, be raised in Leucadia?
ReplyDeleteIs that what marijuana does to developing minds?
Crazy Louie does that tree? I did not know that. Louie has been hanging around my neighborhood a lot lately acting extra spacey, even for him.

ReplyDeleteShut up idiot.
ReplyDeleteThe tree has its own electric box courtesy of a previous Council. Enjoy the tree. Taxpayers are paying for it.

ReplyDeleteThe Tree does have its own utility box but DEMA pays the bill.
Merry Christmas

ReplyDeleteDude, you are way misinformesd.
Dema has a 400k budget.
30K or less than 10% does comes from the city which is a far cry from the millions in tax payers dollars that all the other cities pay for redevelopment agencies, their staff and offices as other cities try to improve their downtowns.

ReplyDeleteIf DEMA makes a $400,000 profit each year, why do they need taxpayer money.

Our presidents robs the future of America by its $90,000 debt per citizen. It might as well grab some trees in the process.
ReplyDeletethey are also robbing your savings by devaluing the dollar.
