Aquapalooza organizers spent $300,000 on security
Posted: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 09:13 AM - 9,088 Readers
By: KVUE News
We now know how much it cost tax payers to provide security for this summer's Aquapalooza.
The two-day Lake Travis concert attracted tens of thousands of people back in July.
KVUE's partners at the Austin American-Statesman report more
than 300,000 of your tax dollars were spent. That is money beyond what
would have been spent on a typical summer weekend.
The organizer of the event says that spending was the decision of local law enforcement agencies, and was not requested.
