Despite the ongoing budget concerns, commissioners voted 4–1 this week to allocate funding for the 2025 Gay Softball World Series. The measure, sponsored by Garcia, dedicates $468,610 to the tournament, with Ramsey casting the lone “no” vote.
Garcia said the money would come in part from a tourism fund designed to attract events that bring visitors to the county.
However, while part of the funding does come from that tourism fund, the other part comes from Precinct 2’s General Fund—largely supported by property taxes. In effect, at least 50 percent of the $468,610 will come from local property tax revenue that could otherwise be directed toward general county needs.
Ramsey, criticizing the decision, said: “This is the reason we’re in a budget deficit. Often—very often—I am the only vote against this discretionary spending. My record is clear. The math is simple—more stuff, more taxes. More taxes, less for you and your family.”

Bastards absolutely don’t care. It isn’t their money, so they’ll piss away peoples money as much as they want.
Ramsey is the only one thinking clearly. What a bunch of losers.
And any taxpayer bitching will be labelled bigoted
Do NOT use the stadium bathrooms.
BFL
Gay soft ball?????
I thought gays liked it hard....
Half or more of this “donation” will be laundered back to political campaigns or direct to the grifters.
Publicly funded?
So, if straight players can’t play in this tournament, I presume gay players aren’t allowed to play in other softball tournaments and leagues with any trace of public funding, including use of publicly owned fields.
“The math is simple—more stuff, more taxes. More taxes,
less for you and your family.”

Ain’t life grand........
keep dem doggies moving rawhide
round’em up, ride’em in rawhide
They throw like girls.
As a kid playing age restricted sports I had to produce a birth certificate to prove how old I was.
I’m afraid to ask how one would prove they qualify to play in this tournament.
Leftist “civil rights” rules are very simple.
They make the rules—and if you don’t like their rules you are a “hater”.

Speaking of softballs, guess what was on “the list” that is kept by ER workers?
SICKO ping.
Isn’t that discriminatory? Like if major league baseball was straight only baseball I’m sure there’d be a massive lawsuit about 6.2 nanoseconds
Which is why I hate the left.
As usual for the leftist bullies.
