I will never understand why public funds should pay for >50% of the funds for a privately owned sports clubs arena
This is one of the biggest taxpayer rip-offs in the country. Under the guise of the limited jobs it creates. Study after study proves what a rip-off it is. New York taxpayers are about to foot 1 billion so the Bills can keep coming up short of expectations.
Hahahahaha wait til you learn who’s not paying any or paying extremely low property taxes in your city. Hint: any big corporation that recently moved there, private high schools, colleges, golf courses, malls, etc.
Not like I don’t know companies get tax breaks. Not really news. Also doesn’t make the main example the right thing to do.
