Another Free Ride Courtesy Of Kingston Taxpayers

City Council decided on December 6 that taxpayers would underwrite the public transportation cost for ticket holders to the upcoming Grand Slam of Curling at the LVEC because parking in the downtown spending zone might be at a premium due to the Christmas shopping frenzy.

So just for fun, imagine the event is a sellout – say 5,000 ducats sold and all ticket holders opt for free public transportation over the four day event. At $2.85 per passenger that would be $28,500 for a return trip and over four days it would cost taxpayers $114,000.

Merry Christmas from the Taxpayers.
