The Republican party has chosen a site for it's 2016 convention.
According to AP/HuffPo, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... RNC Chairman Prince Rebus announced that the CON would be held either June 28th or July 18th 2016
Paying for the convention remains the top criterion for the 12-member site selection committee. The previous two GOP conventions have sapped party dollars during election years and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has insisted the host city not leave the central party picking up the tab, which is expected to be around $60 million.
They say it will boost Cleveland's economy.
In a post-convention report, organizers of Tampa, Florida's 2012 GOP convention said its $58 million in fundraising resulted in a $214 million direct economic impact.
So, Tampa, how did that work out in the long run?
