This article is misleading.
There is a tax, as voted in 20 years ago, that generates revenue for tourism and the sports stadiums based on hotel and restaurant revenues. In other words, tourism supports tourism.
This council person wants to move those funds from what had been funded in the past for stadium maintenance to the vagrants. Totally out of scope and object of the tourism tax.
It’s basically expropriation of funds that made the Stadium self-sustaining.
Next, they will be crying about how bad the stadium is, and how it will have to be rebuilt, 20 years early.
