Look at the date Greanleaf started doing business as and this is where the fix is in Gaymon leaves and the son takes over(birth certificate). Tom Adams stated when he took office that we was going to start doing it the Monrovia way?

This feels like a set-up to me. The prior manager ran it so poorly that he wasn't able to honor his financial obligation to the city and asked to renegotiate the contract, which was then extended as the event turned into an overcrowded swap meet. And now after less than one month they (whoever "they" are) want to get rid of the new manager, which has brought more energy, more vendors and more people to the event? Doesn't make sense -- especially when they've shown that they're willing to try to address the concerns. The restaurants in Old Town have looked a lot busier in the last few weeks than they did before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225097338021040513.post-17321323719488102752015-08-01T11:52:46.723-07:002015-08-01T11:52:46.723-07:00If LA Partyworks fixed all the "operational a...If LA Partyworks fixed all the "operational and procedural concerns" why would the city still get rid of them?

He's mentioned as a Greenleaf representative in an article from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune about Rosemead's street fair. That street fair has its first night on August 3rd, so characterizing it as a current event in the City's document is a bit of a stretch.McMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548643357857777810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225097338021040513.post-42925113289957821712015-08-01T11:35:13.807-07:002015-08-01T11:35:13.807-07:00Connect the dots: Before being elected mayor, Tom ...Connect the dots: Before being elected mayor, Tom Adams had to recuse himself from the fair's bidding process due to his bias in favor of the company that was running the fair at the time. Now, the vendor who makes all the complaints about the new operator of the fair is Jake's Roadhouse, where Tom Adams can often be spotted having lunch! The company ALREADY CHOSEN, to replace the new company, WITHOUT A REBID, is run by men who are still affiliated with Tom Adam's friends at the previous company!! Tom Adams will push his personal agenda through without any regard to the citizens of Monrovia.
