the event will be funded by something like $100k of public money, though i'm not sure exactly they mean by 'public' in this case. quick math shows that $100k is only 0.005% of expansion's total cost of $3.1b. that's a pretty small piece of the pie to focus on, but i suppose it's the easiest slice to see, so i can't say i'm surprised.
