A recent government meeting revealed serious concerns about a local event that left attendees frustrated and disappointed. One participant described the event as embarrassing and accused the organizers of fraud. Many attractions, including a train and a haunted house, were reported as broken or non-functional. The participant claimed that 60% of the attractions did not work, raising questions about the event's management.

The individual expressed anger over being prevented from attending the event and suggested that this could lead to a class action lawsuit. They argued that selling tickets for non-working attractions is unacceptable. The participant criticized the organizers for blaming construction delays and emphasized that if they cannot fulfill their obligations, they should not take on the job.

Concerns were also raised about the lack of transparency regarding the event's report, which was not made available online as promised. The participant pointed out that the organizers operated without a necessary permit for an entire month, which they claimed violates state law and city ordinances. They questioned how the permit was obtained by another individual while the organizers failed to secure it.

In addition to the event issues, another speaker, Steve Topaz, discussed ongoing construction delays in the area. He noted that projects, including the First Street St. Helens tree intersections and sewer line connections, were still unfinished a year after their expected completion dates. Topaz called for updates on the status of these projects, highlighting the need for accountability in local infrastructure development.
