Hamilton County commissioners blast secretive arena campaign: ‘I don’t get bullied’ (www.bizjournals.com)

A new group led by a longtime political consultant is attempting to persuade Hamilton County commissioners to use the existing 0.5% stadium tax to help pay for a new downtown arena.

I have complaints about the HamCo commissioners at times but I'm glad at the very least Dumas and especially Reece seem more geared to push back against all this stadium (and now arena) funding BS. Driehaus wants to make a deal which I don't like but she at least also comes at it from the position of not letting PBS rot and be a billion dollar anchor around our necks.

But for the love of god- let all these people saying it's so good for the economy put their money where their mouth is. The city/county does not need new stadiums and if anyone thinks an arena is such a good investment then let them build it with private money. Imagine that- getting a loan like any other normal business.
