Re:Corporate Welfare (Score 1)

You do realize all of the taxes paid by the venue, it's owners, and vendors could be paying for this... right? If the alarm goes off at my office the police come and check it out. They will only charge if there are repeated false alarms and that charge is to cut down on false alarms, not pay for the services of the police. This is not free though. One of the basic services we buy as tax payers is a police force and protection. How much does the state receive in tax revenue due to the superbowl? It should be a considerable amount with all of the added visitors in hotels, eating at resteraunts, etc... If their are terrorist problems at the event then the next superbowl might not do so well, resulting in less spent.
