Here's a thought. Why build just one soccer stadium when you can build two? Put one at the airport and one downtown. Heck, why stop there? Let's build 20 soccer stadiums! If there's one thing we're good at it's building stadiums that sit empty most of the year. It would put us on the map as the undisputed stadium capital of the world. Then the Indy Sports Corporation and the VisitIndy folks could pitch Indy as a self contained permanent site for the FIFA World Cup. I'm sure that people in Paris and Rio and London and Singapore would give anything to visit such a cosmopolitan city as Indianapolis. The shameless shills for Indy could pledge taxpayer funds so that FIFA would never have to spend another dime ever again for any reason. Indianapolis taxpayers would cover all the costs! I know it's pricey and I know the rest of the world won't play along, but we should try. We'll have a beach on the White River soon and 20 soccer stadiums would really make us something special. We're Indy. Look at us!

If the IAA board sells it. There will be taxes involved and the mayor and the board know it. Correct why pay down debt?? This is just another scam. Remember how hard they tried to stop a parking developer from building a few years back. That airport property would be on the tax roles at some point. But do not forget they have some very high paid folks out there.

Can these morons at IAA merely sell and monetize taxpayer assets. Yes these are owned by a taxpayer owned entity. Why lease? Just raise it and make green space until the right buyer is found. Taxpayers need to stop playing developer. Sell it and have the IAA pay a Dividend (disgorge itself) of the money and use The money to fix crumbling suburbs (not the downtown TIF) streets and sidewalks. Alternatively pay down IAA DEBT(I know an unusual idea).

An unwitting fascist / statist, Katie of KSM, was a guest on the Abdul show this evening, stumping for TIFs or Tax Incre-mental Fascism. She's wholly inarticulate / unversed, regarding how these creatures of state actually work; for statists & against citizens. The Ass-ociation of Cities & Towns is a fascist Frankenstein monster, operating by counterfeit assumption that government has a central role as "business developer" or that which is solely & only the legitimate purview of the private sector. Katie along with fellow crony statists is an OPM addict (Other People's Money). Go to the un-PC-censored history section of your locally subsidized library & "read more about it."

UnConstitutionally fattening the public sector's morbid proportion is patently corrupt. Notice that Carrier Corporation made neither an appeal to what some call "government" or the Chamber of Communism... wonder f*cking why?
