LIMO STRETCH
I purchased the alleged limo rental in Robert Greene’s article “Call To Order” [August 25– September 2], and I wish to clear the air on this issue.
The report Greene mentions is a summary of purchases made with city debit cards issued to each certified neighborhood council. Each purchase has only a one-line entry. The entry in question reads, “SIE Michael Limo $700.00.” The actual purchase — from Sir Michael’s Limousine and Party Rental — was for the rental of tables, chairs and linens for a children’s holiday gathering and outreach event sponsored by the Glassell Park Neighborhood Council, Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council and Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council.
I agree that renting limousines at taxpayers’ expense is an improper use of public funds. But, as can be seen from Greg Nelson’s comments [Letters to the Editor, “Welcome to the Neighborhood,” September 3–9], no limo was rented by us or any other neighborhood council.
