Experiment
I think I'm going to wander around next week and hand out $50 bills. I want to see how many people will complain that I'm not handing out $100 bills.

Somebody needs another vacation.
No, somebody called it like they saw it. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, he hit the nail on the head.
I don't get it either.
Dana,
If you're going to hand out $50 dollar bills, how about waiting until I get back into town?
I must admit, I'm a little confused over your post.
Thanks for the fun. The other sites are so dooms day and the sky is falling. You really have gotten funny over the years. How do you handle the fanatic fans one day and then the frantic fans the next?

You really have gotten funny over the years?????????????
What a douchebag anon.@525 is. The was only started in August 2005.
Yeah, but Dana's been around for over 8 years. Pay attention anon @ 5:57.
Thats what we need, another alderman with a big head.
As the senior alderman on the BOMA he deserves to have a big head. There are 2 maybe 3 of them up there with any idea of what's going on.
"Doomsday" is one word.
Ummm... I think he's calling Koolaid and his choir of chimpanzees a bunch of ingrates. ...and after all the nice things they've said about you Dana!
Ummm... the same kool aid crew that thinks Dana should be mayor?
You want happy? Join the Heritage Foundation.
Dana, please take my $50 and hook it on Pam Lewisss G string next BOMA meeting?
Dana...I'm worried about you.
I have a complaint:
It seems to me that you could just as easily hand out hundreds since they weigh virtually the same and the possibility of me actually getting one is exactly the same as it would be with the fifty, so I’ll hold out for the hundred. No, make that two hundred…..
Alderman McLendon, I don't believe anyone would complain weather you handed out fifty dollar bills or hundred dollar bills, as long as they were your fifty and hundred dollar bills you were handing out.
Seems we have some of our elected officials that have agreed to hand out fifty dollar bills and hundred dollar bills and those bills happen to be ours. And it appears that they have agreed to hand out these bills without asking the other folks that are in charge of the purse strings.
If you want to spend $15,000 to buy a seat on the BOMA all you have to do is give each person $50 bucks in return you can make a million dollars in development projects.That is a hell of a return!
I would save the money and put it towards a cat scan and a full physical.
Dana, you seem a bit off lately, respectfully.
Consider the money "battle pay" for having to work with the bozos on the BOMA.
Here's a similar experiment you could try that would probably give you even more valuable insight, yet cost you much less out-of-pocket:
Wander around offering a choice between a $20 gift certificate to Publix and admission to a white tent Heritage affair worth a few $100.
Okay, so if Dana uses a bit of sarcasm he needs a vacation? He is not feeling well? It appears some people can dish it out but not take it. He was just being funny about people complaining, and then complaining, and compalining and the some more complaining. Give him a break. It is okay to use sarcasm every once in awhile, right?
It doesn't hurt to remind people once in a while that some can be fickle, unreasonable and ungrateful.
The only people complaining they didn't get $100s would be the Heritage Foundation.
File this under "some people are never satisfied".
File this under "should have done the right thing in the first place".
Don't be acting like your boy Mclendon is all high and mighty. he made some of the dumbest votes purely for arguments sake and even said so during the meeintgs. He even voted with the rest of the heritage mongrels several times until it was too late. mclendons slate aint all that squeaky clean!
