Audio and summary
Reading this story…it is simply amazing how incredibly stupid people can be…then you consider the people who selected this Moron to be in-charge of their Parks Department. “Quintina” can spend her money any way she wants, regardless of how stupid, fake and stereotypical her choices are, but spending public funds, authorizing the use of public park property for her own personal use and illegally landing a helicopter…a helicopter… is grounds for firing. This behavior shows a total lack of maturity, decision-making, control and responsibility to her employer and safety for the public.
I’m black and I can do anything I want . Shows her stupidity and disregard for the safety of the people in the park . If she did use a taxpayer’s credit card needs to RESIGN .
