Cicero733: On a smaller scale
How is that smaller scale? Its the longest post in this thread! 😛
As for the content, that is a crazy story but typical of municipal government. You forgot to mention that the grandchildren of the "founding fathers" run the local hot dog packaging plant and the local State representative owns the local beer distribution facility.
Further, your Representative in the U.S. Congress obtained funds, for your state, as an add on to Federal Disaster Relief Legislation, which was used in connection with the construction of the stadium, and the General Contractor performing the work was the Congressperson's spouse.
Finally, the team is horrible to boot and has been last in the league for years!! So, ultimately they will leave and the property can never be used for anything else since the contractor disposed of hazardous materials, under the grass, when the new field was installed contaminating it forever.
So, let me ask, in the spirit of this thread.. DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE? !!
