Here is West Georgia there is a big hubbabolu about the up coming Tomorrow World Music Festival in Chattahoochee Hills next week, so much so, they have/are having a job fair for this event to offer part time jobs to local people. Is this a good thing , yes, it puts a small amount of income back into the local infrastructure. Will the local counties see a benefit in tax revenue, of course. Will it be an enjoyable music event, well if you like that kind of music I assume so. But there is something that needs to be on the forefront of these events with the recent occurrences in almost every Music Festival held this year across the country. And that is the Deaths and Hospitalizations that have been reported due to Illegal and Synthetic Drug use. This is something these Music Festival promoters are not addressing. And no amount of tax money or increased revenue is worth the death and hospitalization of these young people who attend these festivals. online.wsj/articles/arrest-made-in-electric-zoo-overdose-death-on-randalls-island-in-new-york-city-1406739355 drugfree.org/join-together/music-festival-attendees-say-molly-use-is-widespread/ wjla/articles/2014/08/second-death-suspected-from-drug-overdose-at-merriweather-post-pavilion-show-105728.html theblaze/stories/2013/09/01/2-alleged-drug-related-deaths-shut-down-nyc-music-festival-4-attendees-reportedly-in-critical-condition/
