“Recent word is that this year they will squeeze 60 for a mere $33,500 per.”
That works out to $2,010,000. But the NY taxpayers have to pay between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 for his highness to raise the money? These numbers don’t look right.
Like other posters, I have to wonder, “fundraising for WHAT?”
I have seen where in college groups can be granted money to hold fundraisers, invariably the grant is more than the fundraiser is for.
