Reply to comment by toothpickslacroix in The CA Board has too much power. by Golferguy49

I could be wrong, so definitely fact check if you're really interested, but I think the short version was the event used to actually be sponsored by Hopkins and would directly benefit HoCo General. Several years back, that stopped being the case and a private company started running it for profit (with some charitable proceeds, I think). CA owned a part of Symphony Woods that allowed access to the Symphony of Lights and used to grant an easement to Symphony of Lights to allow them to run their event. After the new event organizer took over, CA didn't want to allow the event to use the easement anymore (although, that may have occurred before the organizer switch, I'm not sure). I believe that is what they ended up going to court over.

Well looking at The Rouse Project steering committee, and looking at the owners/operators of IMA/MPP, you can see where all the discord is stemming from.

It's a paltry 20k that they give HoCo General btw, or at least it was last year. Flat upfront. I personally know that after a few operating days it's pure profit for IMA/MPP. IMA/MPP will fight tooth and nail, and repeatedly try to vote out CA board members to keep the cash cows going for personal profit.

Personally I'm against IMA/MPP fully, and I hope CA can in any way eliminate any money that ever goes the direction of those greedy scumbags.

You should check out the history of sexual harassment accusations coming from IMA/MPP while you're at it. Certainly haven't seen David Nitkin looking to write any article in that direction.

How would we find that information about harassment complaints? Is that public information?
