kamui Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 As I understand most parts of the festivities are not paid by tax payers, but by donations. Therefore there is need to complain in regard to this. Also: Fenty predicted costs for the city would near $50 million, the same amount Congress provided to both Denver, Colorado, and St. Paul, Minnesota, to host the Republican and Democratic conventions earlier this year. But the difference is that now 2.5 mio people are coming the the party and they all will spend money in the area. And don't forget, this might be the last big party in the US for the upcoming years.
