The City of Beaumont, under Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas, has consistently demonstrated favoritism and cronyism in the awarding of pubic contracts.
Cost to Taxpayers
Urban Logic's contract with The City of Beaumont which allows it to profit from each approved development, along with their on-going practice of awarding high-dollar public contracts to a small group of friends and associates instead of to the lowest bidder, have cost Beaumont taxpayers millions.
Impact on Existing Businesses
The policies of Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas ignore the needs of existing businesses in favor of new development and big box stores.

Urban Logic and City Manager Alan Kapanicas have damaged our quality of life by failing to uphold high development standards, depleting local resources, making local government less accessible to residents, and by destroying the small town feel of the City of Beaumont.
Tactics
