[Mpls] anti ghost

[James E Jacobsen]

When there is a game in town and the out of town team stays at the Hyatt -which they often do- then it doesn't take an Arthur Anderson CPA to figure that the Hyatt hotel and restaurant business will benefit from that.  And whether it is 5,000 or 50,000 people attending the game, likewise, some of those people will stay in hotels, likely are in town for other business and are staying someplace and probably eating.             The differences would be seen -if the team were not there- in the attrition in the hospitality industry -including employment, and the diminishing of attendant normal tax revenues.                James E Jacobsen // Whittier
