Man, I'm watching the Republican convention for sure this year. I'm guessing from what cash they have on hand, it's going to be a veritable bacchanalia of off-brand cheetos and tap water. Good times.
The local committee hosting the Republican National Convention says it is disappointed the state didn't follow through on a promised financial guarantee.
In a May 21 letter obtained by the Associated Press, Jeff Larson, chief executive of the host committee, told Gov. Tim Pawlenty and legislative leaders the state's failure to offer financial backing in the event of a cash flow shortage "creates a serious risk of breach of our agreement with the RNC."
Larson asked state and local leaders to find an alternative way to fulfill the state's commitment.
