The story back then was George W. Bush owned part of the team with friends and sold it that is how he got rich and went on to other riches. I don’t have a problem with either one. When I was a small child in Atlanta, The airport took our home for the runway, it is just life...Jeb stepped off on this one when his own family has used it...
Half the GOPe donors in the debate audience most likely have benefited from the use of eminent domain. They’re hypocrites.
Its usually a win win for all involved. I knew someone who made a fortune selling his corner bar to the city of West Allis Wisconsin. The city paid the alcoholics, err, I mean tenants who lived above it a pretty sum for moving expenses. If someone showed up at my door today and offered 3 times fair market value, I couldn’t pack fast enough.
An airport is not the same as a casino.
Bush complained and got the taxpayers to pay for the nrw ball park. Then he sold it and made millions. Courtesy of the taxpayers. That’s the way the Bushes do business.
Hmm. Was that before or after the Park was named Ameriquest Field - Ameriquest being the predatory/fraudulent lender owned by the shrub's ambassador to the Netherlands (and the Godfather of Sub Prime) Roland Arnal?
