They would for the simple fact of approving a lease arrangement for the city property surrounding the sign. And some increased patrolling would serve the same interests you mention, in a more direct and more immediate way.
- gamblor956 8y agoThey would for the simple fact of approving a lease arrangement for the city property surrounding the sign. There are many laws against political corruption and everything you've suggested would fall squarely without that category. No politician is going to risk jail and the loss of their pension so they can get their name on a tram. Additionally, what you've suggested is not an allowable part of the permitting process, so WB could simply go to court and get any such naming requirement removed. And some increased patrolling would serve the same interests you mention, in a more direct and more immediate way Good luck getting foreign tourists to pay...The increased patrolling would just draw cops away from other locations where there's more serious crime to deter without a meaningful decrease in the amount of tourists. (They've actually tried increasing patrolling before. It didn't work then and it won't work now that selfies are even more of a thing.)
