Jerry might have a little something to say about that.

Can we get our $$$ back from previous fiascoes on getting a team?

Otherwise, borrowing on what was said in the past, "It's good for business" than business should build it. They're going to want to grab all the $$$ anyway. Let them have it all.

NO!

If any NFL team wants to come here they can pay for and build their own stadium.

We are not an ATM for the NFL.

Fuck that noise!

No, we don't. The Raiders can pay for and build their own stadium.

I'm all for having an NFL team.

I am not for subsidizing one.

If it is good for business, than let business pay for it. Leave the taxpayers out unless they want to go see a game in an arena business paid for.

They have already picked where..Red McCombs has 12 backers...they are trying to figure the out how to build it...higher entertainment tax?{ you know that tax you pay when you rent a room} They need a city vote for it to pass it.

Las Vegas have put in their bid. UNLV and the Sands offer to build the Raiders a new stadium.

I hate those taxes that they foist on the tourist. Mainly for the fact that i'm not a tourist and if I rent a car, for example, they will stick it to me even though I can prove i'm a local.
I don't know if that only applies to airport rental lots.

So when you get a hotel room.99.00 +35.00 (entertainment tax),this is how they want to build that dome.
Next time you get a room..check the bill.
