A little fishy
A couple months ago, St. Pete won a “Most Livable City” designation from the “Partners for Livable Communities.” Turns out the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership paid $10,000 for “winning” the title. The nonprofit group PLC claims the payment and award are not tied. That the fee pays for listing at PLC’s website and maintenance. But every community that won has been invoiced $10K.
At best this arrangement is inappropriate and leaves the designation meaningless. Not to mention that $10K seems to be a lot of money for maintenance for this crap. If you had $10K to throw away on the internet, wouldn’t you fix this first?
