...what does that say for vague statements?
Ed Schock made a couple of vague statements at our forum.
One was that the $700,000 investment in the failed Bandits softball field paid for itself in tax revenue from local hotels and restaurants.
I would really like to see his figures to back that up.
The second statement was regarding sustainability. Is it REALLY paying its own way? Show me the data. I agree that some portions of the agenda pay for themselves through savings, but there is all sorts of baggage that does not. Show us the numbers, gentlemen. And show us those numbers in the context of the entire bill for the green agenda.

I will always wonder if Councilman Powers would be alive today if he had not had the idea to bring the Bandits to Elgin.
ReplyDeleteA loss that no dollar amount can be put on.
We sure were robbed by the Bandits.
"$700,000 investment in the failed Bandits softball field paid for itself in tax revenue from local hotels and restaurants."
ReplyDeleteHow much tax revenue does the city get from a customer's restaurant bill? 1%!!!
Do the math. Is that $70M spent by Bandit's fans spent in Elgin's establishments that would not have been spent otherwise?
I was just out there at Judsen this week. Where was the $700,000 spent, specifically; becuase i couldn't see it!!!
