Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh and girlfriend Kathryn Rogers have promised the town $100,000 toward the cost of new holiday decorations.
The gift is part of $350,000 in private donations pledged by a few town residents, Town Council President David Rosow said at Tuesday's council meeting.
Limbaugh wanted to help bring "brightness and cheer" to a town he dearly loves, said Rosow, who is a friend of Limbaugh's.
Rosow solicited the donations to cover the entire cost of the new lights and garlands, and installation of wiring to support them.
"No one I called said 'no,' " Rosow said. "Everyone I spoke to said, 'This is great.' "
Rosow has said he couldn't justify spending more than $300,000 to celebrate the holidays in a year when the council expected town employees to do without raises, and trimmed their health benefits.
Rosow himself tossed in $25,000, which in turn prompted Councilman Robert Wildrick on Tuesday to pledge another $25,000.
The plan calls for annual leasing of LED lights to wrap around palms, and purchase of garland for light poles on County Road, Worth Avenue, Royal Palm Way and Royal Poinciana Way.
What? They’re not turning down his donation because he’s conservative?
Driving the libs crazy!!! LOL!
Festivus.
Kwanzaa
And you think to yourself, "I helped make this happen." What a boost.
Rush should stipulate his $$$$ go toward CHRISTMAS decorations only.
Rush only wants his money to go toward buying white lights.
^^^^^^^It’s a joke.
“girlfriend Kathryn Rogers” ????!!!!
What a wonderful thing to do! Merry Christmas, Rush!
“HOLIDAY decorations? Which “holiday” are they referring to?”
#####
The Winter Solstice undoubtedly.
I hope Rush is making it clear, long and loudly, that they are Christmas decorations,
The Palm Beach Daily News obviously has a problem with Christmas, and undoubtedly Christians as well.
For the usual reasons.
Yeahhhh...sure.... ;^)
haha.
HanaRamaKwanzaaMas
Bwahahahahaha!
I just did a little research and this Kathryn Rogers is some 31 year old hottie. IMO, it’s kind of creepy to see Rush (58 yo) dating somebody this young. She’s young enough to be his daughter!
