Just how much?

Is this proper.

The Dickens Festival in Port Jefferson Village borrowed money from our parking meter fund account on the weekend of the festival. Just how much money does this annual festival cost the tax payers? How much does the Chamber of Commerce contribute? How much has the administration borrowed from other accounts and for exactly what over the years. The administration has eliminated all mintutes acesseble on the Village website of past meetings prior to the end of 2015 making it impossible without a FOIL to track anything that should be accessible to the taxpayers, such as cost associated with the festival.
