Survey on RNC convention

The Tampa Bay Business Journal is conducting a survey on the costs associated with 2008 Republican National Convention being proposed for Tampa. The question is, "Should taxpayers be on the hook for convention financing if private donations fall short?" So far 42% of the respondents have said Yes, 51% have indicated No, with 6% undecided in the poll. This poll states that it is not a scientific sampling but offers a quick view of what their readers are thinking. It appears that the readers consider the risk of higher taxes for a political party convention outweighs the beneficial business aspects of a capturing a convention for their city.
