(10,437 posts)3. Most people don't know rules and even less willing to step up
I was in neighborhood association of 2000 properties and we at one time 400 paid members. We did annual surveys and out of 1200 respondents, one question concerned have you ever attended a school board meeting, a city council meeting, county board meeting or a township meeting. Out of 1200 households, 27 replied yes to one those. Of the 27, 25 were members of our association. People don't care and then all they do is complain and expect others to do the hard work.
Human fucking nature

The state won't give him one, for numerous reasons. Not the least of which is that he ran not only one but FOUR casinos into bankruptcy, something that you would think would be virtually impossible to do.

(60,010 posts)5. My favorite bit about this .....
But if the complaint does result in Trumps license being yanked, the complainants expect to see it replicated elsewhereand Trump should probably prepare for that. In the initial application filed to obtain the liquor license, Trump said he owned, controlled or was associated with 19 further businesses that held liquor licenses nationwide, including a bevy associated with his golf courses. Some of those are said to be in locations where standards meet or exceed those of D.C.s good character requirement, potentially putting them at risk for the same sort of license-jeopardizing complaints.
