Found this on the Sun News
BozTheBuzzman wrote on 07/18/2010 03:40:55 AM: COBB, in response to your comment on what I said in Comments on the other story ... I meant that I'm tired of hearing that all of this was about nothing but the bike rallies and bikers. It is starting to be more and more clear that it's about far more than that, and that the rallies have really only been a way for the Oligarchs to gain more power.
First, they gained more power by appearing to be trying to end ALL rallies ... when some of us always knew they were really only trying to get rid of BikeFest.
Once they had managed to quieten down both rally groups somewhat, and once the helmet law was overturned (as they all knew it would be), they quietly began to trasition to the second phase which is to try to woo back Harley riders.
RICE backpeddling on being involved in TAKE BACK MAY is a key element of that. But the MAIN element is another big load of money being doled out on the DL to certain key players in the biker wars, on the Harley riders side. And some, but by no means all, bikers who live around here are taking the bait and quietly supporting Rice.
Sad but true, and some others besides me have hinted at this. Laura Best is the dealmaker on this. I don't even want to say who some of the other ones who might have taken the money might be. If it's true, it breaks my heart, but all the signs are pointing in that direction.
To all bikers who live in the area: Beward the Wicked Witch of the West!

From that article: " ...BOOST suggested then, and continues to suggest, the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce or someone on its behalf orchestrated the contributions as a way to "thank" politicians who supported a one-cent-per-dollar sales tax increase in Myrtle Beach. The money generated is used for out-of-state tourism promotion..." The LAST line, "The money generated is used for out-of-state tourism promotion" - AT THE MINIMUM - EVADES the truth.
It "conveniently" omits that the money generated is NOT just used for "out-of-state tourism promotion' - BUT ALSO FUNDS THE 90% OWNER-OCCUPIED PROPERTY TAX RELIEF THAT WAS A CRITICAL/MAJOR FACTOR TO THE RE-ELECTION OF 3 OUT OF 4 INCUMBENT MYRTLE BEACH CITY OFFICIALS in the last election. In other words - AS USUAL, it isn't what a media outlet SAYS - BUT WHAT THEY'RE NOT SAYING.

It's hard to believe Laura Best has turned on the Biker community.As much as she has done to support Bikers & Veteran support groups here. I'm more concerned about the Bikers stepping up & supporting each other.
