The sticker shock is high.
But the number needs to be broken down:
- How much revenue?
- How much provincial $?
- How much federal $? (would be nice to get more of our own tax $ back in our community)
- How much for infrastructure that would be attributed to the games, but would be needed without the games?
- How much for one time operating (security) versus long-lasting infrastructure?
That will be the most important aspect of understanding whether we should go for this or not.
