Good Morning Everyone, welcome to WFTD.

It was city and county officials who created the EIDC in the first place for the purpose of combating the problem of runaway productions. They're the ones who authorized the nonprofit corporation to collect the fees for local movie shoots, and they're the ones charged - by themselves - with overseeing the EIDC's operations.

Besides, even if local politicians shirked their duty to manage the EIDC, it's well known that they pay close attention to their campaign coffers. If they weren't around when the EIDC was cutting campaign checks, they certainly were there to cash those checks later, and that should have raised plenty of red flags.

CA corruption
This board so nesciently goes
Ooops, there's laws? What laws??

Oops, they did it again - Local pols plead ignorance of EIDC scandal
