Rusty thanks for posting the link to the Article....

Indeed this was about the Police and Fire costs...

No over the weekend they are billing LaconiaFest 313 hours ... figure 12 hours on Saturday, and 12 on Sunday... 24 hours total ..... that is a total of ~13 officers.....

Ok I can some what believe that but given the fact that the rest of bike week is going on around LaconiaFest, I am thinking that 13 officers weren't brought in just for this event....half of them likely would have been deployed regardless.... this is just my opinion.....

The bottom line is Laconia, should have pulled the license if the money was not in escrow... the idea here is that Laconia wouldn't have taken the money but drawn from it as the week went on.... to pay for the details...

Don't be mad just at the promoter... Be mad at your city officials, for not sticking to their guns....
