(4/8/99)
Olympic board members today were told to open doors and even their wallets
to help raise money for the 2002 Winter Games.
Salt Lake Olympic leader Mitt Romney made the pitch as he introduced his
new second man in charge.
He Presented Fraser Bullock with a ten gallon hat, joking they would pass
it around for donations.
Romney made it clear finding sponsors is top priority.
He said, "WE EXPECT YOU TO OPEN DOORS TO THOSE SPONSORS AND TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
AND WE EXPECT YOU TO OPEN YOUR WALLETS"
Budget projections at today's meeting show Salt Lake is poised to spend
far less than Olympic host cities Sydney, Atlanta or Nagano.
