Ron Kaufman, the site-selection chair for the RNC, disputed Mayor Nirenberg's claim that taxpayers would be compelled to underwrite costs of a convention. Kaufman said that the financial burden for such a convention, $65 million, does not rest with the host city but the host committee, a non-profit organization created to oversee the convention. The host committee would solicit donations from well beyond the local community.<ref>Gilbert Garcia, "Nirenberg draws rebuttal from RNC official", ''The San Antonio Express-News'', May 11, 2018, p.
