C'Mon now tranny...you arent espousing that private business doesnt know how to squeeze tax dollars out of our hands themselves do you?
Heres some old Calgary specific numbers...
The Saddledome was the first facility designed for the '88 Olympics. Originally slated to cost $83 million, it opened
in 1983 with a revised price tag of $100 million.
Canmore Nordic Centre
Original Cost: $14.3 million
Total Cost: $25.6 million
These are only two of the many facilities that sucked cash out of our pockets...the Volunteer Games, and for good reason.
Private enterprise is very good at finding ways to get more dollars out of a project than it deserves....Public enterprise is good at mismanaging. Neither are perfect and none of it means the Cons are better than any other party, or the people would see it and elect them. Most people actually get bad tastes in their mouth from money sucking private corporations.
