35 years of subsidized success....


Another "Poor Me" article about John G's in today's Palm Beach Post!


We point to this line from the article:

" They don't take reservations or credit cards."

Why would you take cerdit cards? Makes hiding profits far easier. The article also points out

"John G's has lines that stretch around the corner on weekends."

If people knew how big that cash cow their tax dollars have been subsidizing for the past 35 years was they would be outraged. How much has the city lost by not charging a fair market rate for that space? Rents in our downtown are far higher and are no where near a beach front view.

Any commissioner who votes to support John G's move with tax dollars should be voted out of office. (Jeff!)

The article falls short by not pointing out that John G's has giving money to the PACs that have filled suite against the Beach and stalled the redevelopment plans. Johnny G you can't have your cake and eat it too. The bottom line it's in their financial best interest to keep things the same.

Stop special interest groups from slowing progress in this city!
