If you have a franchise that is that wealthy why not borrow the money from private sources?
You know the old axiom "Use someone elses money to fund projects whenever possible, not your own"

Half of the Brickell Ave. bridge is now broken, stuck in the up position. Key Biscayne bridge needs fixed, as do our sewers. Do we really have the luxury to put money into stadiums?

Not sure why anyone would think it was appropriate to use tax dollars to build stadiums for privately owned teams. Are stadiums a public sector responsibility?
