This means they won’t bring in much if any revenue. And you know FSU has to get their cut.

Try adding about $112,000 to that “quarter million yearly salary”.

As one commissioner told me ” Well, sometimes you have to lose money to make it.” I thought it interesting as I know for fact that person has never owned a business… and the beat goes on..

Let the alumni pay for the concert the seem to have a lot of money. Or better yet the strength coach could pay for it out of his quarter million yearly salary since he didn’t use a taxi to take his drunken self home

What will the $50K be spent for? If a profit (as Vic stated) from the concert is made, does the county get reimbursed their, excuse me, OUR $50K? Also, where is the $50K coming from out of our county budget? Is it from a surplus, or will some other needed entity be given the “We’re sorry” statement because the county had to spend that money on a concert?

Anyone in commission care to answer? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Our tone-deaf commissioners have figured out a way to lose $50,000 on a concert.

Unfortunately for Tallahassee , it’s also highly accurate.

Not someone I would want to see or hear.
