Integrity of the public office.

Where is the integrity is showing up to turn on Christmas lights for a group that has zero affiliation with Christmas, and purports that Christianity is an “implant?”

It should definitely raise eyebrows, like a Jewish or Muslim organization hosting a pig roast.

Also, if you deploy the orchestra pit and close the upper mezzanine and perhaps the back rows of the lower mezz at the Shrine, you could bring that 6,300 capacity down significantly.

don't know if the mayor will deduce that the check was actually paid - for the most part - by people in hundreds of cities around the world, who can't save for a crisis, but do support a soulless billionaire.

Bravo por Alex.

Alex is a great resource for the truth about Scientology and its continuing attempts to whitewash its image. He is a meticulous researcher.

Most local politicos don't get much 'recognition' and I can see any local councilperson happily getting their picture taken while getting a giant check for some worthy cause, by any local group. As long as the group isn't NAMBLA, everything is ok. Calling anyone out for supporting the CO$ is another matter, out them and shame them if necessary. $cientology is the Ebola coated kiddie porn of the world.

Man tears are perfectly acceptable. But enough already.

Just an observation about nothing to do with this article.

Is this mayor secretly a Scientologist? I mean what in earth is going on? This crazy.
