City's G-8/NATO costs could hit $65M (Let's thank our leaders and dumb asss white liberal protesters)

Mayor Rahm Emanuel's team announced Thursday that the May summit meetings of world leaders will cost up to $65 million, downtown Chicago will remain open amid security restrictions and protest rules will be revised following complaints they were too strict.
Lori Healey, executive director of the private G-8/NATO host committee, estimated the cost will be between $40 million to $65 million.
As many as 7,500 delegates representing up to 80 countries are expected to attend the back-to-back summits May 19-21, according to event organizers. The summits will be held at the McCormick Place convention center and most of the dignitaries and their delegations are expected to stay downtown.
