“For the sake of transparency, the city’s residents and stakeholders deserve to know how the city’s public funds are being spent, and whether taxpayer funds are being spent on contractors that have contractual or sponsorship ties with the NRA,” the motion states.
It’s Los Angeles that’s how.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they also passed an ordinance disclosing all their contractual and sponsorship ties? For the sake of transparency of course. Since we’re all being honest.Create a law that says gun control only applies to criminals. -
It has nothing to do with being a member. It is asking if your company has a contract with the NRA or is sponsored in any way by the NRA. City of LA also has several other disclosures like a slavery disclosure (did your company ever own slaves - affects older long established organizations), has it done business with Iran, etc.
The City is generally a real PITA to do business with. LOTS of nonsensical paperwork.Comment

How about them requiring contractors to disclose any ties to local politicians?Comment

How can LA deny a contract based on NRA ties??
Its' got nothing to do with a contractor's ability to do the job..
Can they also ask how many employees are 10 lbs or more overweight?? Or smoke?? And deny a contract because of it??
I would certainly believe that is illegal.Comment

I would be OK with this if they also had to disclose ties to the ACLU or Planned Parenthood.Those that call the US Constitution a living, breathing document only want to asphyxiate liberty.

Nothing in the story or other policies I know on the 8 different contracts I have held with the City indicates that they will deny a contract. It is a disclosure, not an evaluation criteria.
People are over reacting to this based on being spring loaded for things like combined with a lack of insight to how the City contracting works. But hey, I've only been winning contracts with multiple Departments within the City for 18 years, so maybe I have no idea what i'm talking about

They do. You have to disclose campaign contributions, previous contracts, associations with politicians, and so on.
Again, people have no clue what their contracting process is like. Our typical responses are 20 pages of technical information and upwards of 250 pages of other policy related stuff.Comment

No, they are not. This is a disclosure. NOT an evaluation criteria. But jumping to conclusions based on no actual information is a lot more fun, I get it.Comment

Ummm...as a company that actually files all this type of paperwork as part of the contracts...I can assure you that my comment is spot on. Also, as a lobbyist myself, I am paid to know and follow all the rules and disclosure obligations. Selection is supposed to be based upon written criteria...if that was actually what happened...then I would not have a job nor be needed to influence policy. The criteria is fungible...like all things in politics.
If anyone didn’t have all the actual information...that would be you. Nice cheap shot at the end too. Keepin it classy in the northwest.Last edited by Tarmy; 10-11-2018, 8:16 PM.Wilson Protector .45, Springer 9mm Loaded, Franchi Instinct SL .12ga. and some other cool stuff for the kiddos...Comment
