No state income tax makes up for this tax for a stadium and NFL team to make Vegas truly americas playground

Not that big of a deal and everyone in town make more money because of it

The $750m will come from a hike in the hotel tax, so the local taxpayers will not bear the brunt of this, which is a plus.

Although, I do see the argument that these extra tax dollars could be used on far better things in this city, especially considering the state of our education system.

Public financing of private stadiums is ridiculous. There is overwhelming evidence that there are minimal economic gains. People should communicate this to politicians and throw out those who waste taxpayer funds on these projects.

Really, because almost every single study says just the opposite.
