and about the tax thing.. that's a crock too.. Usually when that happens, the "entity" gets a tax-holiday for YEARS, in exchnage for the talking points used about all the groovy jobs tey will bring to the community..

Then fast forward to the time that the holiday is about to end, and the venue has to start paying taxes.. That's when they start squealing like the little piggies that they are... about how they cannot possibly afford it, and how the revenues are not what was anticipated.. and how they might have to "relocate"..(translation: extortion)..

This little dance goes on all over "murika" and taxes that should be paid to localities are NEVER paid.. Hush money does get distributed in the guise of campaign donations... to insure that the "good ole boys" who know the drill keep getting selected..and the game goes on..


The people who scammed the city out of tax money shoves money into THEIR pockets, and the politicians who enable them, shove money into their pockets, and the ordinary people who LOST out, cannot even afford to buy a ticket to watch the sporting events that take place in the stadium that evicted them and eviscerated their city's tax base..

They pay higher taxes because all the businesses and homes that were razed, are no longer paying, and the guy who booted them out, is not paying, so GUESS WHO GETS TO PAY???
