I've added the link. Beyond belief, it really is. The only good news is that the money wasn't wasted in the end since they didn't raise enough to ring the stupid bell.

I think the 500k was just for the "special ring" such as they do for Armistice Day, etc. while the thing is under repairs. I don't think it was even to go towards the repair of the bell tower.
