Don't see how the cost can go from 19k NYE bongs, to 500k.
Because the Hammer was taken off
For cleaning & repair
Cost to get it done would mean stopping other process
In the list of things to be done to be rescheduled .
That is where the.cost would come from
So, are you saying you won’t be chucking in for this momentous occasion?

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.
