CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two Charlotte city council members reviewed potential contracts related to the city's bid for the 2020 Republican National Convention Friday.
Both member left with different opinions about how it could impact taxpayers.
Councilwoman Dimple Ajmer made her statement via Twitter saying she does not support the event coming to the Queen City from an economic standpoint after reviewing the contract. She says the event will put taxpayers "on the hook for potential liability, unknown risks and exposure."
Other council members, like Tariq Bokhari, see this as a good opportunity for the city and is calling her statement false.
City attorney Bob Hangemann then released a memo to the to the mayor and council members about the proposed deal for the convention.
A public forum will be held Monday to discuss the bid. If Charlotte is chosen, the city will be one of the four cities to host both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Contention. Other cities to host both conventions are Philadelphia, New York City and Miami.
