Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis and dozens of state and local politicians signed an open letter telling Swift that her tour makes the region’s hotels money, with some properties “doubling and tripling what they charge because you are coming.”

Simple supply and demand.....if it's really happening.

The Lt Governor is a typical communist imbecile. Maybe she should answer some questions: How much does the government rake in off hotel, restaurant, and sales taxes for these concert events? How are unionized unskilled laborers helped by depriving hotels of revenue — will that make it easier for hotels to pay their employees more? How many small businesspeople earn a living off the concerts? How about the hundreds of people employed to manage the concert operation? How much have trade unions contributed to finance your political career? Kommunalakis should resign.
