[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How on earth is this a good idea when MD is staring down a 1.4B deficit?? This reeks of "ooh look at this distraction so you dont have to see how bad the budget has gotten". And of course makes it worse as well. [/quote] The advocates are claiming $1 billion/year in "economic impact." If that's true, the $200 million in public funds seems well spent. Of course, the details matter. It's not like anyone else wants to build a school or data center next to the MGM. The Commanders are leaving in a few years and Six Flags is gone. This is surprising move by a local government. Instead of finding new taxes, they found a replacement entertainment complex. [/quote]
