Policing Convention Costs Demand Taxpayer Evidence
Chicago hosts the 1968 Democratic National Convention with a large taxpayer bill. Figures show $750,000 donated by organizers for setup plus $529,200 for 5,500 guards on duty a week. The complex costs include hall rental, air conditioning upgrades, and police and fire manpower. Government and federal costs run high, with Park District and federal agents tracking damages and security outlays.
