I don't know why you would believe them when they say that the revenues generated would go towards fixing that particular problem.

Couldn't have said it better. A great program would benefit everyone, but our illustrious corrupt government has a way of really retarding the whole financial end of things. To them 1+2= not 3, but a payback plan to fix our aging pipes, that has a payback plan to fix the under budgeted schools, which has a payback plan to hire more police and firemen, which has a payback plan for the pension which has a payback plan for the downtown development, which has a payback plan for the current imminent domain process, which lines the pockets of all of our politicians. Trust me these developers and contractors are not working for free!
OK... I feel better now... Off my soap box... Sometimes ya just gotta vent at the inadequacy of our leaders.
But in my opinion giving them more income flow is great in theory, but very bad in practice! It's not a good solution for anyone!
