looking for festival of the lake financials.....
Besides $250,000 in missing parking fee's each year
and besides no bid contracts for each year,
and wasn't it nearly $900,000 spent on the fest? Got to look up my old post.
you ain't gonna get an answer out of Tom.

You are right on the money on this one.
But I believe there has been no auditing of the Fesr for all 7 years McDermott has been in office, not just 3 or 4.
I also think treating all those people to a dinner cruise may violate state spending laws for public funds.
If they could make a little money like the Pierogi Fest does, I wouldn't be nearly as opposed to it than i am. Whiting manages to attract many thousands of visitors without going into the red.
