GOP Convention Move Faces San Diego Fees and Miami Delays
The GOP plans its Miami Beach convention for July 10 to 14 but cannot move up before August 21 due to bylaws. San Diego pledged over 500000 dollars yet has raised only about 100000 for the event while disputes over the Sports Arena construction and hotel room shortages arise. Peter Graham demands 442500 in interior changes plus 100000 rent, and up to 850000 to use the arena as a convention center, with Graham declining comment. Miami Beach offers around 100000, far less than San Diego’s near a million demand, said a GOP source.
