re: Falcons owner/Atlanta mayor to make a major announcement in an hour

Georgia taxpayers are not subsidizing anything. The only money that the city of Atlanta is contributing is from a hotel/motel tax

Which is it? These 2 sentences contradict. If they Taxpayers aren't subsidizing anything, then there would be NO TAX contribution. Using a hotel/motel tax because only "out of towners" pay it is splitting hairs and not all together true. It's a way for politicians to claim a free lunch, we'll have those guys over there pay for it. It's BS and it's nothing but cronyism. A billionaire who built a business will not benefit at the expense of tax payers, whether the people in Fulton Co or Atlanta proper think they are paying for it or not.

Blank and the Falcons are paying 800 million plus the cost of any logistics are far as streets and things go.

That's better, than many, but if they can afford to kick in 800M they should be able to fund the whole thing.
