The city of Plainfield comes no where near that amount. If the city were to charge what should be a more realistic fee maybe they wont consider doing more than one festival a year. These night clubs sale more that 1000 cases of beer, each case has 24 bottles, that's 24,000 bottles of beer, and they sell it at $5!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's more than $100,000 a year, of course they will do a festival every other month.

This idea of leasing out public spaces to profit making enterprises, tolerating competing operations, with music blaring for hours on end, is just plain wrong. It is unfair to the merchants and the general public to have to tolerate multiple days of inconvenience and noise, and what turns out to be at net public expense as well.
