Latimer: Let's Take a Close Look at the Olympics in NY Posted on Tuesday, June 22 @ 11:53:12 EDT by jfbailey

WPCNR WESTCHESTER COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From George Latimer. June 22, 2004: Westchester County Legislator George Latimer has called for a study by Westchester County of the impacts of proposed plans for New York City to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, as those plans affect Westchester County,
its residents and taxpayers.

"We've seen much hoopla over the possibility of bringing the Olympics here", Latimer said, "but we haven't seen any analysis of the financial impact of public expenditures or use of facilities that may be targeted here in Westchester. I think we owe it to the taxpayers to let them know what they're buying when they get behind the push for the 2012
Olympics."

Latimer - a candidate for the NY State Assembly in the 91st A.D. in this year's elections - elaborated that economic impacts studies by proponents highlighted the benefit to New York City's economy. "Usually, these one-shot events include creating permanent structures, such as a football stadium on the West Side of Manhattan, that require long-term usage for viability. I just want us to do our due-diligence as Westchester officials, so in 8 years' time we're not facing expensive surprises".
