If the people that don't want to pay are the minority then they still get strong-armed into paying for the shit.

The rest you just have to vote out the politicians that approve the shit.

The bill doesn't go away once the politicians are out.

Well, if you don't vote them out it will never stop.

Stadium deals don't come up that often anyway. Omaha got a $128M baseball stadium rammed down their throats by a mayor who's not around any more and we'll be paying for it for a couple decades.

The shitty thing about all these politicians is threatening to take it out of your property taxes if you don't approve the sales tax increase. I'm so sick of that one here.

I think KC ****ed up by not building one downtown.
I'm not a baseball fan, but I just think it would be better downtown.

They just invented an "entertainment tax" to pay for ours.

I loved the threats we heard around town before our renovations; "they might leave"!
BFD....see ya.

None whatsoever.

Nope. No difference. The corporations surely aren't going after something like "Redskins" as their objection. They're going after all Indian names!"

That's what you sound like.

While you and I agree there's no racist condescension in the KC Chiefs and their logo, there are folks who feel the logo is a violation of "brand" rights.
