Suspects? The usual.

quote:

The Markham Park District executive director caused quite the scene last weekend after hiring a helicopter for her daughter's prom send-off, which landed in a public park without proper authorization.

Now, there's new fallout about who paid for the stunt and how the city wants a restraining order to stop the spending.

There's a split reaction about this prom helicopter send-off, with some saying no one was harmed while others, including city leaders, say the park's director didn't have the right to authorize the photo op for her daughter—a photo shoot with at least the deposit charged to a credit card that taxpayers pay for.

Less than a week after this helicopter landed at a park, catching many by surprise, the stunt for the park director's daughter has turned political.

So... she used the company credit card.. given to her for use in company business... to pay for her daughters HELICOPTER FOR PROM. But yeah.. it's political.

In ANY corporation in America, she'd be fired pretty much... immediately.

Not surprising since she is likely a democrat who fell asleep during the government ethic course.

After Kobe, I would be hesitant to ride in one, let alone put a kid in one.

I know their heritage from helicopter in the title

No one celebrates Prom like it's the Met Gala except black people

For my prom, we paid my older brother's friend a case of Milwaukee's Best Light to drive us around in a 10 year old station wagon all night. Between the tux and the beer, I probably did not spend $50.

Government for them is a “government’s money” distribution program.

Not paying for it with taxpayer money probably didn’t even cross her mind. most of her constituents won’t care and probably think this was awesome (or whatever the lingo is in this situation).
