LeBlanc already siphons more than $160,000 in salary and perks from the city. Why should we pay for him and other invited insiders to chow down on $30-a-plate dinners? Talk about bellying up to the public trough! Those who wanted to throw and attend this party should have paid for it themselves. Civic-minded attendees might consider sending a check for $30 to the city’s general fund to eliminate their complicity.
