But if you’re referring to people not wanting “one dollar of public money” to go towards an arena then people that believe this aren’t talking about their taxes going up, generally speaking. It’s about public subsidy for private business.
I think back to your point that it’s only a few dollars for each taxpayer, and I’m still left with how weak a position that is for the arena side. It’s essentially admitting it’s a bad idea but not big enough to care about.

I don't think so - I think it's the opposite. I hear people think it's a big deal to their taxes without any real concept of the actual impact. Is that admitting it's a bad idea or just having a misconception of the magnitude of cost?
