Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1055134, member: 628"] I really can't believe people are defending this situation. I'm against public funding for stadiums, aside from certain circumstances where government contributes to infrastructure work that has some benefit beyond just moving people to and from the stadium. And this is just a blatant money grab. If the "intangible" public benefits are so compelling, then why keep this super secret? Wouldn't the masses be able to understand just what a fabulous deal they were getting here and give it full throated support? It's because the public ain't getting any benefits. But Braves ownership and elected officials are getting a LOT of benefits. [/QUOTE]
