As for the costs, sure, set that as the budget for the event next year, if it's successful, it should be easy to attract paying vendors the following year to cover the costs.
Just because everyone speeds down Fischer-Hallman (me included) doesn't mean they're not breaking the law.
Just because people drink in the middle of the streets at the party and don't get charged doesn't mean it's not breaking the law.
But that's the issue. Are tax payers willing to spend a half million dollars on this? I think that's the whole issue, it seems like they're not. If they were, why not just keep things status quo?
Students are taxpayers.
I'm not saying that the people speeding down Fischer Hallman aren't breaking the law . They are. Im pointing out they're treated differently than the students.
I'm also saying you have no evidence that all the students are drinking illegally and not being charged for doing so. The only evidence is that the police did charge people.
