Olympic scandals by Egantx7

Question 12

While the IOC and national governments have moved the sites of Olympic games, only once has a city been awarded the games, only to have the voters in that city essentially reject them. In 1972, two years after this city was awarded the 1976 Winter Olympics, the voters of this city, fearful of already mounting cost overruns, voted overwhelmingly against a bond issue which was needed to finance the games. 8 days after the vote, this city's Organizing Committee announced that it could no longer fund their bid, and withdrew their offer to host. Identify this city, an obvious location for hosting the Winter Games, which was replaced by 1964 host Innsbruck, Austria.
