The headline juxtaposition boggles the mind. You have, on one day, “Detroit Files Largest Municipal Bankruptcy in History.” Then on the next, you have “Detroit Plans to Pay For New Red Wings Hockey Arena Despite Bankruptcy.”

Yes, the very week Michigan Governor Rick Snyder granted a state-appointed emergency manager’s request to declare the Motor City bankrupt, the Tea Party governor gave a big thumbs-up to a plan for a new $650 million Detroit Red Wings hockey arena. Almost half of that $650 million will be paid with public funds.
 
where did I condem the idea.


I just think maybe the gov should have helped the city a bit don't you?

Doesn't the stadium count as infrastructure to you?

For the record, I fundamentally oppose any state or municipality paying for a stadium with tax payer money. It is a scam of monumental proportions and crony capitalism at its worst.

Just wondering what grounds if any you oppose this or is it just another opportunity for you to waste bandwidth?
