Yes you do, because an educated population is a benefit to all in our community, less crime, less poverty, and thus less taxes to entitlements, etc. A baseball stadium funded by the city is not.
It is ridiculous to think the government, read taxpayers, should be in the baseball park business. Noone argues that a stadium would be cool. And if it's that cool, let a private person invest and make tons of money (yea right). Since you are in favor, why don't you write a check to the Braves and leave me out of it, mmkay?
If my tax $ pays for the ballpark, can I get free tickets?
