Out of control property taxes, and income taxes, and sales taxes -- and the governor wants to increase taxes after lying about it all through his election campaign.

Personally, I think it's time to pull the plug on this boondoggle now, rather than just waiting for it to expire at the end of the year.

Many against the subsidized stadium in the Peoples Republic of Arlington have no problem with $3 million in tax dollars for septic art at the polluting sewer plant, funding for dancing penises at a county subsidized play and dog crapping for dogs with more rights than the taxpayers.

Not that I support the stadium, but most Arlington taxpayers, especially outspoken RINO's, are hypocrites when it comes to fighting the County Board.

So my FRiend Mudboy has said, many times.

Although not a resident of VA, I'd wholeheardedly agree steve.

What few seem to be noticing is that the problem(s) plaguing the Montreal franchise are confined to only the Expos.
The problem(s) are in fact, symptomatic of all of MLB; so, why on earth would any city want to "build a sunken ship"?

Don't misunderstand, I'm not opposed to MLB, used to enjoy nothing more than an afternoon or evening game, myself.
But let's face it, anyone whose followed the game over the past 40 years knows damned well the "product" has never smelled as bad as it does, today; and, for a host of plainly visible reasons.
Poor or complete lack of character among the participants of the game, notwithstanding.

If Rockingham cannot fill the seats for a NAZZZCAR event in NAZZZCAR *country* how will MLB fare?

...that's the question VA taxpayers should be asking.
