The pertinent part...I think I agree with you here. The pertinent part of one of the linked articles, for me, is:<br /><br />"<br />The troupe clustered around the balcony on the side of the Cheekwood mansion was part of the 130 crew members, 80 extras and about a dozen cast members on set that day. That’s the show’s standard gaggle, and it amounts to a traveling circus spending money on equipment, food, lodging and so on."<br /><br />So, for fewer than 150 out-of-towners, who we know will leave at some point, $7.5 million has already been "reimbursed" on $44 million spent. Really? That's a 17% rebate. We get tax-free weekend each year before school starts (thanks).<br /><br />I would be interested in knowing what the $7.5 million consists of and how it is tracked, determined and paid.<br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
