What other businesses do cities does Jacksonville subsidize like we do professional sports teams? 

Again.... You're kidding, right?

I changed your quote a bit to keep this in local context.

But my list starts with:

Parking Garages.
Strip Malls.
Residential Developers in Outlying regions.
Civil Contractors
Consulting Agencies.
A certain Demolition Company.
Any corporation that hints of moving downtown. 

There's plenty more, so if anyone feels like adding to it, go ahead.

What other businesses do cities subsidize like we do professional sports teams?  The incentives given to companies who are actually creating a lot of jobs and economic growth are a pittance compared to the billions that are given to the owners of NFL, NBA, and NLB teams.

Ridiculous!

right or wrong, every other major league sports town does the same thing

let me share with you a suggested activity that is still very biologically difficult to pull off.  Let us know how the Lighting goes.

So your usual integrity, honesty and intellectual curiosity is still intact. Makes me comfortable that der furher is consistency.

So anyone have a report on how the water taxis are working out? I hear that the wait times are horrible.  My friends and I opted for stadium parking this season for the Jag's games.
