Sorry to disappoint anyone looking forward to corruption, cost overruns, traffic woes and bankrupting the city and state...

Good to hear...

A substantial effort was underway to provide a ballot question opposed to taxpayer bailouts for the cost overruns. Perhaps just building it, even in the early stages of the effort, was helpful!

Time to build a permanent Summer Olympics Village in Greece, and kill two birds with one stone.

Reduce the corruption in the IOC, and give Greece guaranteed income every four years.
