Corporate media whore the Vancouver Sun now reports:
The cost of securing the 2010 Olympic Games will be more than double the original estimate.
Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said Thursday the original estimate of $175 million was “drastically low” and that the cost of keeping the Games safe will be more than $400 million but less than $1 billion.
So now they will admit it will cost double, but you know, it could be quintuple +. how the hell does is that allowed?
Day gave a hint of at least one reason why costs have jumped — air security.
“Security costs money. And when you talk about the aviation security alone monitoring the airspace, you can get an idea of the kind of dollars we are talking about,” the minister said.
I guess they are afraid of the NO2010 East Van Air Force.
