If you don’t understand that the flying squirrels is one of the least gross private entity that public resources subsidized, and overall it provides some good to the city and provides good to the community, you are a pot calling a kettle black.

Look, I get it. I understand your point. But there is ALWAYS something “better” to spend the money on. It doesn’t have to be an either or situation. Sometimes, it really is helpful to support private entities in this way. The Flying Squirrels is not worth this fight. The Training Camp? Absolutely. That was ridiculous. The proposed 1B in corporate tax cuts in the state budget because we have ‘a surplus of revenues’? Get the fuck out of here. That’s so dumb. The casino? The proposed coliseum? I Can get behind all of this.

The city doing something they promised they would do 14 years ago? Please pick a different battle.
