Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Ah yes an article about a different stadiums in a different sport from 7 years ago clearly is relevant to a deal made in the future with this now longstanding issue in mind. How much money is the dump making them? AZ fucked up and just assumed they'd get the yotes tax revenue regardless, but with the current move eyeing making a deal on tribal land, well the deficits add up.
Like a less popular sport like the NHL is going to be really profiable. Getting rid of the flat tax and school vouchers would be more effective.
Tax code change wouldn't really be very effective for an arena not on state land though so for the arena I was talking about I disagree. How much tax does the dump give them in it's stead? Seems like a straight downgrade.
Sounds lke the voters dodged a moneysink.

Man how dare they ask for 200 million for a 2 billion plan that included cleaning up the area themselves and even adding housing instead of putting that burden on the taxpayers where it now rests again. Brilliant move. Its gonna cost as much or more to remove the trash and make the land available for any kind of non dump use.
You're repeating general findings and applying them to a deal with specifics you refuse to understand or even respond too. 200 million barely covers the restoration of the landfill, and more of this offer was privately funded than any other stadium offers period. There simply has not been a better deal for the cities in any major american professional sport than this one, so if you really dislike stadiums seeping public funds maybe support the ones that use less of it. Still waiting to see how much it's gonna cost taxpayers to clean and reclaim that land on their own burden.
Rich people are not going to stop building stadiums, the government will not stop subsidizing rich peoples anything. This whole debacle says 'dont bother sweetening the deal, stick with what was working because if they're gonna say no, they will say no.'
