Apparently nothing because we gave it to him.

Thats not a Benson problem, thats a Government problem.

And most jealous wealth bashers never consider...

How much revenue will be created because of the Pelicans?
How many jobs will they bring to the area?
How much tax revenue will they receive from the jobs created by the Hornets/Pelicans?
How much tax revenue would be lost if they had moved somewhere else?
How many jobs would be lost if they'd left?
How many Companies and wealthy families would like to relocate to this area because of the increased quality of life that these types of entities bring to the table?

Those are a lot of question marks but I concede, it is a Government problem, not Benson. At the end of the day however he's still taking 36 million and the big picture is he does not need it. Just because he is allowed does not make it right. That's why the vote on it was a close call. It actually had to be voted on again because it got shot down.

There are other ways to generate even more revenue with that 36 million that are seldom even discussed. It's great for him but if we are talking about creating tax revenue, jobs...there are better options I assure you that could create 10X the economic impact of the Hornets.

I agree 100% sort of, but it should also be pointed out that there are numerous ways Government wastes that much money constantly with literally zero benefit to us taxpayers at all.

And if I had to choose between giving 36 million to a proven entrepreneur or a Goverment politician, I'll choose the proven businessman every time. I assure you he will generate 10x the economic impact that the politician would.
