Mark - The Salt Lake City Visitors and Convention Bureau doesn't agree with you - why don't you take it up with them? For hotel occupancy to be up 148% they would have had to be under 40% occupancy previously and now at 100%. Simple math. And yes, I have spent a lot of time in Utah - my ex was born and raised there. You proved my point about the cost to the taxpayers - that new highway system and equipment wasn't paid for by Coca Cola. All of those places you mentioned have had excellent growth long before the Olympics.
And why do you engage in personal insults by calling me a lawyer? I don't remember calling you any names.
