It is on public streets right? They get police protection? In other words public funds are spent on it? -- nm - the liioulu with girl scout cookies Mar 15, 13:15 2
- In 1995 the Supreme Court ruled that the organizers (a private group) have the right to choose who can march. -- nm - Catriona Creez Mar 15, 13:25 1
  - Then they should have to shoulder the whole cost as a private event. -- nm - the liioulu with girl scout cookies Mar 15, 13:38
