I can understand this. our Governor (at the time) was Fast Eddie Rendell and he pushed and pushed for CAsinos saying that if they allowed the casinos to be built he could do away with property taxes or at least significantly lower it. People agreed to let the Casinos go in
what happened next was not lowering property taxes... it was funding a new Peguins arena in Pittsburg. I'm not happy about that. Mostly because he pulled the wool over everyone's eyes promising lower property taxes to get his way and then when he got his way we all got the shaft.
but I also realize that is a problem with the politicians who allow that to come out of tax payer money. it's certainly not the athletes fault.
AND I also realize how much money that brings in to stimulate the economy as well.
