St. Pete Fla. Event gone after 2017 ?

Looks like trouble is brewing for this event after 2017 . The promoters contract to put on the event ends in 2016 . The town council has asked the promoter to open his books so as to the city trying to get a better FEEL for starting negotiations for the events continuation .

The Promoter has basicly said " That ain't happening baby , I will move the event to another city / Location "

Sounds to me like Big Government trying to get a bigger piece of the PIE out of the deal !!

Not so sure the city has a right to DEMAND the promoter open up his books . Though the Lawyers will certainly have a field day with this trying to sort it out

Not sure if at this point Indy Car , PWC , etc have been asked to open their books yet but the local papers and radio stations are expressing concern in reguarding to local,businesss losses if it goes away of taking Several Million $$$ out of the local economy

If it should leave , any suggestions or comments as to where it should go ??
