I sated the facts and inquired about what tax payers got for their money. From the looks of it, not much. I would think the billionaire building his dream stadium should be on the hook for buying the land, building roads around it to make sure it's not a traffic nightmare, works out a deal with the power and sewer company to bring power sewer service to a stadium in the middle of nowhere.
Then again, if Paul Allen can get tax payers to pay 200 of the 300 million it took to build CenturyLink field the problem isn't the billionaire, it's the people and the politicians they elect.
