Sick of billionaires running with their hands open to beg money off the public, but pushing for personal tax breaks for themselves behind the scenes.

The way Lindner implied that the city/county owed him for all that his family has done for Cincinnati is obscene. He's an argument for upping the estate tax.

Let’s just be Dayton. Or Lexington.

Cities like Nashville are growing while Cincinnati has shrunk, and the flight out of Hamilton County continues.

Rath, I’m quite sure you didn’t protest the money and tax relief given to gE and other projects in this city. This isn’t the Bengals or the Reds deal. Not even remotely close.

Bengals will be ...should be left to leave in 10 years. Then why will be here? I’ll take this franchise all day over the hapless bengals or reds.

Hopefully they can win the bid with Newport. It’s really a shame that this city and county will miss out on a chance to really add to development of another area of the city other than otr.

The county commissioners will really look minor league-ish and laughable when they propose PBS. Clearly they haven’t followed any of the MLS news of late. Where is aDetroit and Ford Field at in this final 3? PBS plan gives the bids to Nashville and Sacramento. Growing cities with a sport that’s on the rise. nFL and football hit their peak and bengals can’t even fill pbs.

I don’t know why people think a soccer stadium will spur development? It certainly didn’t work for the area around Mapfre. Quite frankly, Oakley is doing fine on its own. A stadium would be nice, but I think FCC likes the area for what it is, not for what it can be.

You can’t possibly be comparing GE incentives to soccer benefits. 2,000 High-paying jobs. Plus GE is already a HUGE presence in this city, and is an important partner with UC on a number of different fronts.

These are not 2000 high paying jobs. Also they only get said tax breaks if they reach 2000 employees which they will not anytime soon with the current state of the company unless they close area offices and bring them to the banks.
