Maybe Greensboro can afford to do what they are doing. Wilmington can't. The Council is proposing raising taxes to fund the things that are absolutely necessary, how can they afford a stadium? I don't agree with a taxpayer funded stadium being built. I think that the petition is a bad thing. I think it will ultimately hurt the cause of those who are moving forward with it. I think that people who oppose the city paying for the ballpark will vote against the referendum because of its language and that will give the Council a skewed opinion about what the voters ultimately want.
