I had to laugh at this story. It shows what a bunch of elected AHs in one community cannot and will not try to figure out a way to take a dumb event and shut it down, instead of taking advantage of the possible benefits of making money on it.

The mooning cost the city 20,000 dollars in police salaries last year.

Now, why not try and recoup the money by getting the city involved?

Sell t-shirts, charge for parking? set up booths-food and trinkets? If 8,000 people show up and spend 20 dollars a piece it comes to 160,000 bucks,
and even if the city got one-quarter of that?

They let it go on unchecked for 30 years and when things get out of control-this shows you cannot trust people to behave themselves-the city council tries to get all the cows back into the corral, all the while trying to navigate three decades of cow crap in the meadow.....

I guess it is the right thing to do. The only AHs that need to be seen in public are the tight arses of the city council.
