Public benefits from helping a billionaire get his way aren’t a thing
As far as UNR thinking that a new stadium will make their basketball team better and recruit better players….
One just needs to look at our neighbor to the south when the radiers came in and used taxpayer funded money so a billionaire could build his stadium. The promise was that unlv football would be playing in a new stadium and that would drive more recruits to the college.
The radiers are terrible and unlv football is still terrible. A new stadium doesn’t make the team. Neither do outrageous salaries to college coaches (but that’s another topic)
If GSR wants a new stadium for their use, they should do it without subsidies from the city that is struggling with their current budget. The “amount of new revenue” is questionable as we are entering a recession and things are about to get worse for everyone, including the city.
Thank you Alicia for all the work and insight, and making us aware of the questionable goings on with those who are in charge of our city. It is a dizzying amount of people, agencies, and departments that have their hands in the till, let alone the billionaires getting richer by the day off of us “the little people.” It’s just never enough for them is it? And it seems that no one has a conscience anymore! I know I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand everything that’s going on!!! But you do! Please keep hovering over those who aren’t looking out for our welfare and our Meadows! Make them look over their shoulders! Unfortunately, you have become our first line of defense.
