#4  Cheap humor aside,The Rahmulator keeps pledging that no local taxpayer funds would be used to host these 2, now 1 event.
However, the City is presumably on the hook for the concessions made to 2 major trade shows whose long signed contracts were signed off on years ago. The National Restuarant show, with 60,000 attendees was "velvet gloved" to take place in February and the Confectioneers convention swapped out their beautiful May in Chicago dates to accomodate the Presidents G8 "fundraiser". Concessions translates to real $$$ in most peoples books.
