There is some horror in the money he made investing in baseball. He lobbied the city to have a 0.5% sales tax increase to subsidize the stadium. Of course, after this occured, the profitability of his investment shot up, and he sold his share for $50 million. This has always irritated me a bit.

All cities were subsidizing stadiums. The Ballpark in Arlington has been good for the city.
$10 million is closer to what he sold for. I forget the amount but it was under $20 million. He did nothing illegal--it played out on the front-pages.
