No doubt your tax money is being thrown their way.
Don't the GOP state and other leaders believe in the free market?-

Supposed to be open records. Seems they found a loophole to hide the records, but it's questionable whether the loophole meets valid criteria.

Millions in tax money will be given to the braves for a new stadium but its a secret as to how much is being given away.

Personally, it would be nicer to see tax money given to a large Fortune 500 employer that would be building their corporate headquarters there and supplying 1000 jobs. Instead we get a stadium that would likely employ 50 people most of the year and bring gridlock every March.
