PB County Commission votes to give away $108 million in bed tax

Comment Up

Baseball is that important to the County. On a 5/2 vote, with Abrams and Santamaria dissenting, the Palm Beach County Commission voted to give the Astros and Nationals $108 million plus soft costs of $5 million. They are now looking for another site in Palm Beach County.

What more can Shelley Vana do before she's term limited?

Baseball is nice-the national sport when I grew up- but what a waste of our tax dollars.
Did anyone show what the expected benefits to County residents might be?
How about fixing county roads and infrastructure, enhancing tree canopies, and funding recreation programs for school children first before creating gridlock and pollution for 2 months of potential increase in economic activity.
Team owners are in general billionaires. Why do they have their hands out for millions of our dollars?

Shelley Vana certainly has forgotten her constituents.
