I got fresh feedback this morning from a Dallas Cowboy/Jerry Jones Stadium victim. I thought I'd share....I own a small restaurant in Arlington. I can't imagine what the restaurants and other small businesses near the new stadium are going through. It is simple to figure out!! It DOES NOT BENEFIT anyone WITHIN MILES of this stadium because the locals won't go when there are games, it will be too crowded...the visitors on the other hand, are not going to patronize these businesses, all they want to do is go to the game and leave.... We have to pay for this, us taxpayers, and Jerry (Jones) and his gang are so wealthy... I don't get it...What idiots voted for this? There is no benefit to anyone, but maybe some motels and hotels (only at major play off games). The streets will wear out faster, the locals stay away, so tell me....Somebody got something at our expense...Also, if people (fans) were not so crazy, paying so much to see the games and maybe boycotting them....they could reduce those crazy salaries of those players...Also, all the money the players make, is spent mostly out of our state because most of them are not from here...duh....

Speaking of eminent domain abuse in the state of Texas, anyone concerned about this issue in the DFW area should attend the the Fort Worth League of Neighborhoods meeting on this topic Thursday night at 7 at First Presbyterian Church, 1000 Penn Street, Fort Worth, 76102. Speakers include Glenn Sodd, the premier eminent domain attorney in Texas, and Jim Bradbury, Fort Worth Attorney & FW Gas Drilling Task Force member.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the state of Texas does little to protect its residents against the likes of monied interests like sports team owners and energy companies. That's not right. It's time for a change.
