I don't care one way or the other where the team plays or even if it plays, but seeing this kind of outside interfence happen to a publicly elected board is really bothersome.
I don't know if GWI is right, but they are saying the bond sale is an illegal gift. Shouldn't public officials be held accountable for illegal actions? Wouldn't that be more frightening if elected bodies could ignore the law?
