CNN estimates taypayer cost of 100 million for inauguration.

[stray cat]

On CNN this morning (TV on link) estimates were given that the total security costs to tax payers for the entire inauguration celebration will be 100 million. In addition, the corporations will donate approximately 40 million that will be used for the parties and not for security. We are the ones really paying for the inauguration for the first time in history and we will receive no representation.

Watch the Bush coronation and you will see who Bush really believes is the heart and soul of America.

Has any one else heard a similar estimate or confirm it with a link?

However, non-essential fed employees in DC will have the day off to keep down traffic.
