If Hilton wants to have a fireworks show and there is a fee, then it should pay the fee. If they don't want to pay the fee, then don't have the show. Whether we enjoy fireworks or not, most of us don't care one way or another. However, it doesn't make sense to allow waivers and negotiations to lower or eliminate the mandated  fee. If Hilton wants to contest the fairness of the fee, then this should be addressed at the legislative level or in  the courts.
