Let the people vote on soccer stadium

I have read the extensive coverage given to the proposed professional soccer stadium and have a suggestion that would take the heat and rumors out of the equation. How about making it an item for the general public to vote on? It was done in Los Angeles at Chavez Ravine because no one on the City Council was ignorant of the laws concerning eminent domain. This whole idea of using our money to fund a private business venture is horrible.

Let us vote on it and you will see how the public feels. Stavros Anthony, Bob Beers, Lois Tarkanian and Bob Coffin have our backs. Let Findlay and Cordish sell this idea to a funding group. If it is such a good idea, I’m sure they’ll get the loan at a reasonable rate.
