An attractive Stimulus Package offer from the Obama administration to provide Run Campers with free running shoes and windbreakers was rejected by the camp's tribal elders, said to be ruled by Blaine Lam's iron fist.
The offer reportedly came through President Obama's high-ranking Cabinet members who were aware of Chris Crowell's close connections with progressive causes and the fact that Crowell's store would benefit from the package.
Crowell, who was aware that Lam had packed the tribal council with relatives, thought the deal would go through because he and Lam had written similar viewpoints about the need to get America moving again.
But Lam, who belongs to the Make Poor People Suffer Now party, reportedly knew the deal would hurt his chances to force Gazelle to complete the $1.5 million buyout of Cheetah, a store Lam planned to open in the old Dragon Inn space downtown.
"Hey, I know what ails Americans," said Lam. "It's tight calves, IT Band Syndrome and plantar fasciitis. I'm not putting this organization on the dole."
