A more logical choice would be for government to stay out of the entertainment business altogether.
Well....that sort of goes without saying but, as the people of Seattle discovered, it's all but completely impossible to keep government out of the stadium business.
When the city was contemplating building the new Mariners stadium, the bond went up for public vote and the people of Seattle voted the bond down.
Then the State Legislature stepped in and issued the bond anyway...forcing a Seattle tax increase to pay for it.
And when the time came for a bond vote on the Seahawks Stadium, the issue was put on the State-wide ballot, instead of the County ballot.
Once again, King County/Seattle voted it down....but the rest of the State passed it.
And Seattle, once again, is paying for it.
