BACK MATT FANS, NEW VIDEO TRIBUTE TO SAVE AURORA'S HOLIDAY MAGIC FESTIVAL 2010

A once uncommited turned to a supporter of Aurora's Holiday Festivals

Matt Harrington I have asked the City Clerk in Aurora to place myself on tonight schedule to address the City Council on the cancellation of our Holiday festivals held at Phillips Park.
I hope the Grinch's will hear our pleas to save our holidays and to keep the Heart and soul alive within our community.

    I hear you, but we do have the funds. The Aldermen have over 1.2 million in their discretionary accounts as reported by the Beacon News on the July 21st 2010. the cost of this festivals was around 37,000 the 3rd ward alderman has 800,000... that she has not used in years.
    
    And just a few weeks ago we approved 450,000 for a non for profit to build a halfway house and the 6th ward alderman spent 106,000 to buy a house within his ward to be torn down. I agree that we can get sponsors, I would be more then happy to help. This is not just a festival that cost us money.
    
    It is a small economic driver to our community, it bring in people from the surrounding cities whom spend money at our local business as well as creates a scene of pride for Aurora.
    
    We are the second largest city in Illinois but we want to continue the small town feel of our community.
    
    Sincerely
    Matt Harrington

Chad,

You did not have to delete your starting comment, I always look forward to people ideas and feelings. I also like the fact that we spoke in a very civilized ways to express our beliefs. I am honored and humbled that I was able to convince you on my beliefs that the holiday festival should continue and that we do have the funds for them.

Again I am very happy that you agreed once you learned all the facts.

your humbled and honored friend.
