There is a “race to the bottom” in who is going to be grifted by the KC Chiefs and Royals going on right now.
But the talking head elected officials apparently can’t do basic math when it comes to subsidies.
Sports stadiums are great. They create a lot of high paying jobs and generate tax revenue to pay for themselves ten times over. Cities should be bending over backwards to build them.
I’m against corporate welfare from the federal government, but I’m more open to local projects if the local voters want them and they make sense financially. Most stadium projects don’t make sense financially for the taxpayers.
