Nope. The money for the parties themselves was donated money. But the overtime, police, etc is born (THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME) by the District alone.
Normally, Congress reimburses the District for any extra costs incurred for the inauguration. This year the District was told to find the $19 million themselves, as the White House was recommending Congress not cover the costs this year.

So to that end, i'd be asking the donors....why they feel their money is better spent on this pomp and circumstance as opposed to some of the worthy causes you mentioned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:143488 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
