Why in the world does a city own a TV station? Oceanside is proof government has too much money.
"Officials with Oceanside's public access television station, KOCT-TV, say they need more time to find alternate funding sources and are asking city officials to hold the spending cut to the station at $110,000, instead of the $500,000 recommended by City Manager Peter Weiss.
"Give us a year to salvage KOCT so we can be there in the future when we come out of this recession," the station's executive director, Tom Reeser, said this week."
I have a better idea--stop giving this station any money, starting today.
The city council of Oceanside apparently has decided to cut public safety, while paying for a TV station. They need therapy--and anyone who voted for this, even a dime, needs to sell apples and the street corner so the people of the community no longer have fiscally irresponsible people in City Hall.
Shame on them for giving a dime to a TV station. Angry yet?
