So the travel and tourism industries in this town can make a killing. I've spent most of the day trying to find a single limousine for clients coming into town for The Great Farce & Clown Show next week. Limos are hard to find, and when I do find one I am told "we have our inaugural rates (!) in place."
Prices for a stretch limo run from $3200 - $4200. Average 30 hour minimum. Prices for a luxury SUV (which I've just learned is unacceptable) from $1100 - $2500. Same deal on the minimum number of hours. (It's needed for about eight.)
There must be something in the city's charter requiring inauguration for sitting presidents, so these industries don't "suffer."
DAMNED GOUGERS!
