I have no idea where you recieved your education, so there's no way I can honestly comment on whether or not there was taxpayer money involved, and I never made any comments indicating that.

As to Reggie, who was ganging up on him?

My comments, vetted by the mayor, were strictly intended to educate him, both on basic communications and how to carry yourself if you want to be taken seriously.

If an attempt to help him improve how he's seen is "ganging up on him", then I guess I'm guilty.

Was I terse? Probably. Less than kindly? More than likely, but I've never claimed to be anything else.
