Jock-O-Rama
It's kind of old news around my state, but it's still going on. Recently, our sports obsessed government put in a 1 or 2% beverage tax on all food and drink in restaurants. Why is this in place? Because the Colts (our local football team, I hear) want a new stadium. Read that last sentence again. The Colt's want a new stadium. They have a stadium, the RCA dome, and it's in good condition. But instead, they would rather tax people, many people who could care less about this ordeal or are against it, instead of taxing people who go to the games.
Now, the city of Indianapolis isn't going to be rehiring any more police officers of fire fighters anytime soon (short staffing) because they can't afford too. Why not? The Colt's Stadium is first priority. Boy, it would be a real shame if the Colt's Stadium caught on fire and there weren't enough fire fighters to put it out. That would be a real shame, wouldn't it? If that happened, all the idiots... er, players wouldn't be able to run around like drunken goats. It's a shame.
I hate football.

Yes, but an ample police and fire force does loads for PR and I'm sure might help the economy some how.
