Sandy City Politicians Need to Lay Off the Crack
Wow! Is this really the best they could come up with?
I just read the proposal from Sandy City regarding their public funding scheme for the Réal Sandy (Salt Lake?) soccer stadium. I really, honestly thought they'd come up with something better than this. They only managed to lower the county contribution from $87 million to $76 million. Really? Is that the best you could do?
And adding in Sandy City's miniscule contribution, the entire cost to taxpayers: $96.5 million!!
So, Sandy thought they could get people on board by saying this would just be a part of a 136-acre development... a new downtown at the south end of the valley. Is that what they thought?
I'm really shocked. It's mind boggling. I don't think Sandy is going to get the stadium with this deal.

One does indeed have to wonder at the mind set of these guys. It seems all they think about it driving in their SUVs to the next shopping mall. A friend of mine described folks like these as "little men thinking little thoughts."
Based on the some comments I am hearing it actually sounds like they might find some way to pull this off. How is beyond me, but they seem to have enough people on the Council who think this might not be such a bad thing. Although I can't imagine anyone who represents downtown would be willing to do this.
I predict Sandy will not get our tax money with this current funding scheme.
giaIs Larry involved? Money is money. How it is used is impudent to those involved in Utah government, ask the wives of the incumbents.
L.M.S syndrome for L.D.S. Money is like rocky mountain oysters. Is big good eating?
