Taxpayers on the hook for $750 million. Just keep giving these rich fucks money, just keep fucking doing it.

http://reason.com/blog/2016/09/16/las-vegas-taxpayers-raiders-adelson

The crony capitalist cabal known as the The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee—which ESPN describes as comprised of "casino leaders and elected officials"—voted unanimously to raise Las Vegas hotel taxes as a means of financing a brand-new domed stadium. The Raiders, who currently call Oakland (Calif.) home, will contribute far less at $500 million, while Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino owner and financier of failed political campaigns, will contribute $650 million through his Las Vegas Sands corporation.

But lest you think this epic infusion of public dollars to finance incredibly rich people's private vanity projects will eventually benefit the public, ESPN reports that "Officials with the Las Vegas Sands said they don't want to return any profits to the public because they would be making little or no money on the stadium." ESPN also noted that "The Las Vegas Sands said it would walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750 million, and the company fought to protect itself from any future taxes targeting the team."

This is old horshit. Sheldon Adelson pulled out months ago. Please at least try and be accurate. You want to point blame. Start with Jerry Jones. What is even funnier is this stadium sits exactly where I used to stay at the Staybridge Suites. They are going to have to knock down at least 5 small hotels to put it where they are projecting.

Thank you.

Are taxpayers not on the hook for $750 million?

Of course they are. I again suggest you google Jerry Jones's hand in this. Taxpayers are on the hook for every stadium built. Are the taxpayers on the hook for that monstrosity known as Soldier Field? Sure as fuck the McCaskeys aren't paying for it. You're paying for it and still got that godawful POS shoved down your throats.Why should Las Vegas be any different?

More. They're also footing an additional $200 mil over the next decade for "maintenance costs." So taxpayers are putting up nearly twice as much as the team.

Thanks for the additional info. I'm unsure why Mr. Fiscal Conservative/Socially Liberal tbd doesn't understand what point I was trying to make here.

So I'm unsure of why you are cunting. You said I wasn't being accurate when I mention that taxpayers are on the hook for $750 million, but then you say they are. Which is it?

You were not accurate including Sheldon Adelson as part of the deal. That was all I was saying. And you can take your fucking labels and shove them up your ass. This is not B&I

And since you are to lazy to Google what I suggested in my first response I did it for you.


But the biggest winner is someone you wouldn’t expect: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
That’s because Jones, who by all accounts pulled the strings in perfect puppetmaster fashion on a third NFL relocation in the past 14 months, has been promoting the Raiders’ move to Vegas for months now . And that’s because the move to Vegas makes Jones some serious cash in an indirect way.

You're a fucking Special person. I didn't include Sheldon Adelson, the source I quoted did. I have only stated that the taxpayers were on the hook for $750 million, and that people should hand that money over to rich fucks. I then quoted a source which backed up my claim that the taxpayers are on the hook for $750 million.

I don't know why the fuck you're bringing Jerry Jones into this, because Jerry Jones' involvement, one way or the other, doesn't change the fact that taxpayers are on the hook for $750 million.

You're a fucking Special person. Kill yourself. Soon.

Then why are you bumping a thread that hadn't been active for nearly two months?
