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.
The bigger scam is publicly funded colleges getting massive stadiums for like 8 games per year.
I suppose. Aren't those stadiums built by private donations?
