  The fix is in, the dice are loaded and the cards are marked. And, the suckers don't even know what's going on.
  
  Check the public records of the election campaign contributions received by members of Long Beach City Council and you will find an interesting contributor, Clear Channel.
  
  Clear Channel Outdoor advertising is a worldwide outdoor advertising specialists. The parent company, Clear Channel Communications Inc., reported revenue of $1.84 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, a 4% increase over the $1.77 billion reported in the fourth quarter of 2006, according to their website.
  
  "We impact customers through a variety of outdoor advertising products designed especially to create the most visual awareness possible. Outdoor advertising is great because you can't turn it off, throw it away, or click on the next page. That means your message is reaching consumers everywhere — all the time, everyday.
  Outdoor advertising is more than just billboards (its)Times Square spectaculars, street furniture, airport displays, mall displays, taxi advertising, mass transit displays and mobile ads are just some of the advertising products Clear Channel Outdoor developed with your needs in mind."
  
  And something else stinks! I cannot find a listing for the Press-Telegram reported "Orange-based Media Management Services Inc." in yellowbook.com, the online yellow pages. A google search does not show a Media Management Services Inc. in Orange County. Who is Michael Pauls and where is his business located? Maybe lawyer Doug Otto knows where his client's business is located.
  
  Has Media Management Services Inc. made any election campaign contributions to members of the Long Beach City Council?

  This certainly will pull LBMA's bacon out of the fire. A once great organizataion has become a cafe with a few perty pictures next door. How's that endowment coming, Ron? Garish freeway ads saving an art museum. What next. The big yellow baby with a coin slot and gum?

  So anyone who makes contributions to candidates for City Council are not able to participate in the democratic process or have business before the city? Better pull the plug on JetBlue (I know a lot of folks would like that), the public safety personnel, most of the commercial brokers who lease space to public officials/programs. Better check Feinstein and Boxer's contribution lists and determine who should not be having any business with the Federal government, also Dwight, you should make a list of Bonnie's contributors to ensure the state doesn't do any business with any of her donors. We would much rather not save our Art Museum on the crystal-pure moral grounds of Mr. Snider and forego millions of dollars for our city for billboards that will have absolutely no impact on residents. Good visioning!

  yes its all totally innocent, the people giving the contributions expect nothing in return, they are just exercising their civic rights.
