Quote:Any story about the scoreboards is going to get:

• Nice scoreboards but nobody will be there to see them
  
• I guess that's one way to get people to go to your games
  
• Big scoreboards to watch the team lose
  
• Why not spend the money on getting better players
  
• Will they be moved to London
  
• Instead of hiring police or teachers, we get bigger scoreboards
  

And each person thinks they are original.

Yeah, that about covers it.

 

Occasionally you may see why dont teachers/policeman/firemen get paid as much as a pro athlete. They are more important angle.

 

The fact that the bed tax is to promote tourism is beyond them....they also seem to forget the Jags/concerts/monster trucks/FL-GA brings the city revenue that goes back into paying for the renovations.  Shahid is right, Jacksonville is too simple minded, and its not just the rich people.
