Bills get a free stadium, and taxpayers get screwed.
Crazy. Although Buffalo has nothing else. The liberals around Massachusetts dislike Robert Craft (billionaire, friends with trump, gets away with getting handles from Asian prostitutes, etc.)
But he built the Pats into a multi-billion dollar franchise without public money. All private. A few years ago he caught some crap because the state was going to spend a few million to build a pedestrian bridge over the main road that leads to the stadium. The beautiful people were up in arms saying a billionaire should not get that money. Meanwhile that year he donated over $50 million to Massachusetts hospitals. Also, the taxes generated for the state by his empire is in the hundreds of millions. They’ll take that money all day. But have the highway department build a bridge?! No way!
