Democratic National Convention Charlotte organizers mostly mum on money, transit and security
By Tim Funk
The Charlotte Observer
“The most open and accessible convention in history.” ….Convention organizers have been meeting with neighborhood associations, business groups and others. But they won’t say how far along the Charlotte host committee is in raising the required $36.6 million to pay for convention costs.
They insist nothing’s been decided about moving the busy uptown transit center, even though it’s located across the street from where Democrats will renominate President Barack Obama. They can’t yet give uptown businesses – and their 83,000 employees – all the information they will need to plan.
