Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 2423295, member: 264"] As the article below clearly communicates, while the Data Mail "[I]...Mandell’s bid seems to involve the more attractive league, [B]money could be a sticking point[/B]. This is a [COLOR=#ff4d4d][B]city, after all, that said it may go bankrupt as soon as November[/B][/COLOR] and faced a storm of criticism when it publicly financed Dunkin’ Donuts Park for Minor League Baseball’s Hartford Yard Goats. Sarwar has pledged to put $400,000 of his own money into improving the stadium and said he’s confident of his chances to win the Dillon bid because he’s not asking for public assistance. Meanwhile, [B]Mandell said he is committing between $7 million and $10 million in private money, but that’s to operate the team.[/B] “[B]In order to get that stadium to be usable again in any professional way, there’s a significant public investment that needs to be made,” Mandell said[/B].[/I]" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So, how do you feel Mr or Mrs parent of children in Hartford's public schools? How about you Mr or Mrs Taxpayer in other cities and towns who will reluctantly contribute to bailing the City of Hartford out of its' financial mess? What do you say, want to renovate a run down stadium on your dime? [/QUOTE]
