This is theft pure and simple and the person should be prosecuted and forced to return all the value given to family and friends. Embezzlement should never be allowed to continue.

CVB does not compete with other "po-dunk" towns. They compete with other CVB's that are after the same business we are. AND they don't have to operate wihtin the same guidlines our CVB does. So for all you people beechin...what happens when SACVB attempts to draw business here fails and visitor industry folks start letting people go?? All those events and thats all BC could muster? C'mon

Hey dumbbells......first of all it's not YOUR tax money being used, it's a tax on the city's tourists, the overwhelming majority who are from out of town. So put away your phony outrage. Secondly, you have a damn fine leader heading your convention bureau, which is a godsend for any town that depends on that revenue. And you'll jeopardize all that because some scumbag wanna-be Woodward or Bernstein wants to play "gotcha" reporting? Wake up, SA! Or better yet, don't. We'll swoop in and steal every damn last convention you've got while you spook your CVB into total inaction. Dummies.

The sad thing about this is the anonymous tipster who report this will lose their job or force them to quit and no one will stand up for them. Just like other whistle blowers. For example Bexar Met employee who found financial discrepancies. **** if you do **** if you don’t.

The problem is that no one told them not to. The game is that they all need to have it spelled out to them, otherwise they get to plead ignorance. Most peoples' idea of what's right and wrong doesn't enter into their thinking when it comes to stealing from taxpayers.

So, if nothing wrong is going on, why change the names of friends and family to guest? This is another CPS lavish spending spree all over again.
