Send a bi-partisan fact finding group to Cincinnati ... I'm sure they'll learn something from the Paul Brown stadium fiasco. The tax payers of Hamilton County took it in the shorts big time.
Mike Brown threatened to leave Cincinnati for greener pastures (LA was rumored) unless he got what he wanted ... a new stadium to replace the old one which hadn't reached the quarter century mark. The city fathers promptly reached over and grabbed their ankles ... the rest is history.

taxpayer money for sports stadiums is an abuse of the taxpayer. If a sports team wants a building to play in, they can build one themselves and pay or it. If they cannot afford it, they can just play in an open field or go bankrupt if they are not a viable business. I am sick of taxpayers having their wealth stolen and given to others.

Totally agree with you. Glad to see the new GOP standing firm against the mob-rat machine.

I cannot understand how this thing cost a $billion. In constant dollar terms that is 7X more expensive then the Metrodome.
