And I'm a citizen offering up the cons. Keep in mind the makeup of this committee is heavily slanted towards people who are very keen indeed to host the Olympics. If it isn't blatantly obvious the thing will be a boondoggle, they'll almost certain come out with a recommendation to pursue a bid.
These things have a momentum of their own. Once political and economic interests get behind something like this, it can become difficult for average people expressing their disapproval to be heard.
