How the Other 99.5% Live
Bob DiCesare of The Buffalo News
writes an excellent piece on what the Jets Stadium public funding could
do to precipitate the ultimate departure of the Bills from Western New
York. Seeing the Bills leave Buffalo would be a terrible loss for
sports, and a terrible loss for Western New York. I guess I cling to
the hope that if a town like Green Bay can do it, so could Buffalo. The
difference I guess, is the ownership.
Although the article is a
little too fatalistic for me, I finally see the viewpoint of why
Western New Yorkers care so much about this chunk of change.
That
being said, based on pure statistics, I still hold to my logic that if
almost 50% of the state resides in less 0.5% of the land mass, there
have to be concessions by the inhabitants of the other 99.5% of the
state…
