Ken Lay was partnered with them and the Chronicle to get the slim majority vote needed to approve the stadiums.

The kept putting it on the ballot until people said yes. Then they repackaged it "so that it would be paid for by hotel guests and car rentals." So a few more numbnuts said "okay, well it's not my money!"

However, all the cities get that dumb idea so if you travel and rent a car you pay 80% in taxes.

Then we go to the stadium and get charged $7 for a pint of beer.

They also claimed there would be enough parking with a few blocks of the stadium for 10,000 cars. This NEW stadium will occupy land in that same parking deprived area.
