Clearwater Sun: Sect Victims' Fund Asks For Rent-Free Stadium Use

Date: May 3, 1982

The Scientology Victims' Defense Fund has requested that Clearwater waive rental fees for the organization to use Jack Russell Stadium for a forum planned for May 22.

The City Commission will consider the request at its work session today and may take some action Thursday at its regular meeting.

The defense fund group contends it is a non-profit charitable organization and entitled to the exemption. The rental includes a basic $125 fee plus $10 an hour for a groundskeeper, $15 an hour for lights or 10 percent of ticket sales.

The defense fund is a group of city residents trying to oust the sect from Clearwater.
