This is a minor factor, if at all. <BR/>It is really desperation. Watch closely and you'll see the State's involvement with our Local government reach into the mile radius to extract those dollars. They will do anything to save face and 'pride'. What difference to them where the $ comes from? They are revamping Hoo$ier Pride with a $ sign. Might as well call it Miracle Mile, because it will take a miracle to make up the difference!Patriot Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986604576219564749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75330523362717370442009-02-25T17:15:00.000-05:002009-02-25T17:15:00.000-05:00"Ok, this shows that they are not politically astute."<BR/><BR/>Either they are not politically astute or the Mayor's advisors don't really care about his re-election.

They know the arts people hate the corporate welfare for sports, right? They know the arts people see themselves as treated like the red-headed step children compared to sports, right? <BR/>.<BR/>Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Let them try to tax the arts. The arts anger will be easy to harness. They've been gunning to go after sports welfare for years. <BR/>.<BR/>And still not one of those cowardly politicians who are handsomely paid by Ir$ay and $imon have the courage to serve The People by telling the billionaires to pay for their own damned stadium!M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.com
