If everything was in order and complete I see no reason why they couldn't ring the bell. It is however, unnecessary to spend such an exorbitant amount of money just to ring the bell when much more worthy causes exist that 500k would and could absolutely transform what they do. I also see no reason for the public to pay either.

Sounds good to me.

Better than 11 bongs at 50k a pop.

If you think that is good value for money for taxpayers, you need to think again.
