Once again, thanks to WHQR & WWAY for stepping up to the plate on this one. WHQR has hosted a number of candidates debates this election, and WWAY is always out front, and reporting the other side as well, on local issues. We had 2 area leaders & 2 area businessmen give us their views.
I do not believe this is the role of government or the proper use of tax dollars. I also believe this stadium venture will cost MUCH more than presented, and the liabilities will plague us for decades. I also believe the stadium will hurt existing area businesses, as it takes away from those competing venues.
Furthermore, and I may stand alone on this one, I do NOT see this as optimum use of the riverfront entrance of our city, and it's estimated only 2% of the residents will ever set foot in the place.
TAXPAYER PASS ON THIS ONE!

Let's take a 'taxpayer pass' on this one.
