December Nights would be Gutted by Mayor's Proposed Budget Cuts
Todd continues to pull as much money and resources out of Balboa Park as he can. He is proposing to eliminate the city staff member who makes December Nights happen every year, thus making the event impossible to put on the way that it currently is. Eliminating the event (and all the costs associated with set up and security, i.e. SDPD overtime) will save the city a whopping $1.5M!
Though all museums are free during the event, most of the museums and cultural institutions are also selling food, drinks, etc and we use all of that revenue as well.
To sum it up now, Todd has kneecapped Park tenants by charging for parking and now wants to A) Eliminate all arts and culture funding and B) Essentially cancel an event Park tenants rely on for additional revenue generation.
