It's always about the money
The Jefferson County Board of Tourism( JCBT) distributes the funds of the Innkeepers Tax which supports the tourism business in Madison/Jefferson Co.
Madison Visitors Center AKA Visit Madison(VMI) is a huge recipient of those funds which are handed out by the JCBT to be used in accordance with Indiana Code IC 6-9-15-8
"Transfer and use of funds; JCBT:-- offenses
Sec. 8. (a) A person who approves the transfer of funds to any person not qualified under this chapter for that transfer, or approves a transfer for a purpose not permitted under this chapter, commits a Class D felony.
(b)VMI:-- A person who receives a transfer of funds under this chapter and knowingly uses the funds for any purpose other than a proposal approved by the board commits a Class D felony.

Now that we got the legalize out of the way...
Visit Madison recipient of the above funds got caught misusing the funds for personal gain(possibly theft). Tawana Thomas director of VMI (excuse me "Executive Director" now has bigger name)
JCBT discovering the theft and or misuse CHOKES OFF THE MOOOONEY!!!
SHTF and all goes to hell in Mayberry/Madison!
Along comes Lucy Dattilo city council person also president of the VMI board of directors. If VMI loses its funds poor Lucy looses one of her titles and Tawana Thomas looses her job and maybe jail time.
Lucy and Tawana now covered in shit have to kiss some ass big time, try to discredit the JCBT board,
They are on a journey to get members off the JCBT board who won't go along with the misuse/theft of the tourism dollars and have them replaced with someone who likes the theft of the tax dollars.
BOTTOM LINE Tawana and Lucy need to be kicked to the curb after paying back what was stolen...
