Default Re: DNC get tax free gas, the hypocricy...

"Hey thank you guys for having this big event in our city, and bringing millions to our local economy."

Cities do these kind of things all the time to get big events. Why? Because they make far more then they would lose. They often give events huge breaks on say using a facility, or give them free bus transportation etc. I dont see the big deal? Thousands and Thousands of people are going to ascend onto this city, spending hundreds of thousands (millions maybe?) of dollars in the local business, from hotels, to food, to the 7-11. This city and its residents will welcome this big economic boom. At the cost of what? 10cents a gallon on gas tax?
