Folks in the county don't support spending a dime of public funding on this and the commission who very much enjoy their jobs know it.

We are all about to have to spend $5 more in fees (tax) a year forever just to renew tags on our cars in Hamilton County to fund the initial $30 million in bond interest just to get the Western Hills Viaduct Project moving and now a second generation of Lindners feels entitled to having this city give them taxpayer money to operate their private venture. Screw them.

Newport, Ky is .1 miles that way >

I agree with the sentiment of not using public money on private ventures...but, playing devil's advocate for a second, where are the Commission planning on using this fund if not for something explicitly defined by the parameters of the fund and which will be a public use project? As long as they have an answer to that question that makes sense, then I'm fine with the stadium being built in Newport (and would much prefer it anyways outside of the funding argument as well).
