Who exactly picked up the $50,000 tab this week for hosting the site selection team for the 2012 Republican National Convention?
The Salt Lake Chamber, which is heading up the bid effort, won't say.
"We're a private organization, and this is what we do. We raise money to promote our state," said chamber vice president Natalie Gochnour.
Gochnour said the chamber has "been very clear" it raised the money needed for the three-day visit that ended Wednesday by charging $2,500 a table to attend a dinner with the GOP team.
"That's as much as we've been willing to disclose," she said.
It's a different story for Tampa, Fla., and Phoenix, the two cities also competing to host the convention where the party will formally name its next presidential candidate.
One has to wonder just WHO could come up with $50,000 pocket change to see that the pockets of LDS businessmen in Salt Lake would be lined with cash during the RNC convention...and WHY would this "party" not want to be named?
My money is on a partnership between Romney and the "business arm" of the mormon church.
That be some uv mitt’’s “daddy’s money” workin’ for the boy.
