The RAV line I wouldn't include, but the extra cost of the rush to build it-resulting in a mini Skytrain-I would. The Sea to Sky definitely wouldn't have been touched for decades had Whistler not been selected for some events. There are also tons of other city, provincial, and federal expenses which aren't listed on VANOC's books.
So, yes, the taxpayer has footed most of the bill; even though most of it is not an "official" Olympic expense.
