We’re About to Get So Screwed!
The City-County Council has introduced a propsal that’s intended to help Indianapolis land Super Bowl XLV, but instead I think it’s going to result in the multi-million-screw job on the taxpayers. Under proposal the city would agree to “agree to provide all governmental services and support necessary to the success of Super Bowl XLV and related official events.” The city will do this at no cost or liability to the NFL or its teams, whether the services “are below, equal to or beyond the normal level and range of governmental services usually provided for events.”
If the NFL won’t pick up any of these costs, then who will? I’ll tell you who, the taxpayers! Not only will you have to foot the bill for the activities, but also you won’t be allowed anywhere near the festivities. I know the NFL drives a hard bargain when it comes to negotiations, but could someone down at city hall at least pretend to have vertebrae.
I mean if we are going to get the screw job, at least make the NFL buy us dinner first, or at least get an appetizer and a glass of water.
