Just for the Pittsburgh stadiums, the taxpayers are paying about $500 million plus the interest cost of raising the debt ceiling. Add to that, Philly is getting 2 stadiums at about the same cost to the taxpayers, plus all of the little projects around the state that were included in order to buy off lawmakers for their votes. I wish it were only $24 million.

I was refering to his cities isolated case, not the state as a whole.

Then to top that off. The owners of the Eagles just anounced the spectators can't bring in hoagies or other sandwiches because that posses a security threat. You could put a gun in a hoagie. The Phila. Daily Local News published a picture of Jeffrey Lurie the owner with two hoagies coming out of his ears. Some said wait the tax payers own the stadium why can't they bring food? The local sports show host on WIP said that the team might as well be wearing Swastikas. He got suspended for a day. Very interesting.
