JONES: Did rec center officials apply for loans?

Posted

I think it’d be informational to investigate whether the Sun Cites applied for and received Paycheck Protection Program funds from the government.

Where it gets interesting is that we as homeowners keep hearing that we had to pay full rec fees this year instead of discounted fees due to closure and both rec center boards say. “We still had to pay employees to do things” and “We chose to pay employees even though they weren’t working.”

Well, if they received federal funds to pay said employees then what they’re saying is at the best a falsehood by omission and at worst just a flat out untruth. If true they were paying a severely reduced payroll and didn’t have all the expenses of open facilities.

It’s been told to me that Recreation Centers of Sun City West did get PPP funds and if true they weren’t paying anyone, We as taxpayers are.
