If I live to be 2000- I'll NEVER understand why so many tax dollars are shovelled to professional sports teams.
Taxpayers don't get ANY discounts on tickets!
Anyway- the Chiefs recently applied for and received a $25-million tax break from the State of Missouri to move their training camp to St. Joseph from River Falls-WI..
The Chiefs wanted all that money- in return of a promise to keep their training facility in St. Joe for 5 years.
For $25-million- the State SHOULD have insisted on an at least 25-year stay- but at least state officials have changed the Chiefs' stay-length in St. Joe to 10 years.
My basic questions:
Doesn't the State of Missouri have more beneficial businesses to bestow $25-million tax breaks on?
Should Missouri be giving ANY tax breaks to successful corporations in the present economic climate?
and the standard clinker:
SHOULDN'T ELECTED OFFICIALS BE GIVEN PRE-OFFICE DRUG TESTS?????
