Of course they will ignore the people.
Columbus Ohio turned down a bond issue to build the stadium that is currently used for ice hockey. They then claimed that the stadium was built with private funds.
Of course, this was a total and utter lie. Between massive tax abatements, guarantees and other government sleazy tricks, the stadium and surrounding area was built by Nationwide Insurance and “partners.”
NOBODY privately funds stadiums and they always lose money. It is a blatant wealth transfer from citizens to sports fans, restaurant/hotel/bar owners and politicians.
well you can bet that the mayor and his cronies will get the catered box seats every game...
