Reply to comment by spokchewy in Pawtucket hits brakes on public borrowing for soccer stadium amid financial headwinds by Rogue-Island-Pirate
This all just keep circling back to the point of "if it's such a good idea, why can't they find the money? Why do they need to steal ours?"

Because it’s also an investment in the community that will be attractive to a large segment of the population. You can think whatever you want about that angle, and only time will tell if it plays out true or not, as is the case with all large scale urban investments that are often partially funded with tax dollars.

One that was never put up for vote after we already voted no on keeping the pawsox. They knew it wouldn't pass. Now surprised pikachu it would cost more than we were told.
This is a bad deal. One we don't want but has at least partially been forced on us anyway, and just went south.

Do you even live in Pawtucket? Of course you don’t. You’re happy to gamble away our money on this foolish venture though.
You’re literally the only person responding to this post that thinks it’s a good idea. Where are all the other people that think this will work?
