Kingcreek Posted August 8, 2018 at 02:02 PM Share Posted August 8, 2018 at 02:02 PM Politicians have been handing out money for years, that's not new. Willy just wasn't as good at it as most. For one thing, he used his own money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted August 8, 2018 at 02:35 PM Share Posted August 8, 2018 at 02:35 PM He should have set up a foundation that you could contribute to if you wanted to do business with the city under a future Wilson administration. Maybe the foundation could have even handed out a grant or two. Next time keep it deniable, Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
