Reply #41: A new stadium will help with all those things

This puny sales tax (which does not affect clothes, food or medicine), is a very small investment in what could be a significant employment and tax boon to the County. I know it gets more publicity because it is a sports franchise, but localities make these investments all the time, building convention centers, funding tax advantages for large companies to get them to relocate etc. It is an investment in the economic climate of the county, and in my opinion a wise one.

As to the referendum, it is these kinds of decisions that these people are elected to make. They ought to exercise their best judgment and make the decision.
