Make ACL Fest pay higher fees

-

Re: Oct. 21 commentary, “Austin should expect more from C3 Presents for hosting ACL Fest.”

I agree with Anna Hanks in her saying that the people of Austin are greatly inconvenie­nced by ACL Fest and hardly compensate­d. Our parks department is underfunde­d, as is much of our city’s infrastruc­ture: pools, trails, etc. If Zilker Park is going to be closed for that long so that private investors can make a fortune, the fee system should be restructur­ed.
