Local article supporting raising taxes on citizens to fund stadiums for billionaires.

I enjoy going to a baseball game every once in a while, but seriously, fuck public funding for these stadiums.

Some of that tax revenue has to go toward government costs associated with the holding of sports events: extra police, traffic control, perhaps more public transit, etc. At the end of the day, only a very small fraction of total spending associated with stadium events is left over to help pay back the taxpayers for building a stadium.

Because funding transport and stadia is the same thing.
