Let the Voters Decide on Sports Franchise Pork

Finally, a voice of moderation against pork spending for sports franchises. Sen. Mike Bennett (R-Bradenton) deserves kudos for this proposal.

"Every person who thinks their property taxes are high right now should be contacting their legislature and the governor’s office and demanding that we not use their hard-earned money to support a professional sports franchise. If they want to have that taxpayers money, then let the taxpayers vote on it."

Amen. Sports arenas do not put money back into the community.

Hat tip to Jim Johnson for sending this to me.
