Important social and programmatic issues come through actual legislation and proper appropriation. This is money earmarked for infrastructure and would not be spent on "programmatic" issues.

Except they don't. That's the problem here. I get people being against corporate socialism, but if you make those claims be very consistent in your approach to the issue. If you're going to be upset about this, then be equally as pissed about the tax breaks the city doles out to attract new businesses or get buildings constructed. Never hear a word on that, and it is equally egregious.
