American Public Has Spent More Than $7 Billion On NFL Stadiums ...
The San Diego Chargers unveiled their proposal for a new downtown stadium on Wednesday and, surprise, they are asking for a significant chunk of cash from taxpayers. The Bolts want the city to increase hotel tax rates to facilitate a $350 million investment from the public. While this proposal isn’t anywhere close to the worst we’ve seen from NFL teams over the past few decades, it continues a trend of franchises taking lots of public money to finance stadiums.

This post is part of the On the Margin blog. What is Chipotle Mexican Grill thinking? News this week that Chipotle has filed to trademark the phrase “better burger” was greeted with an awful lot of skepticism. To wit: Shelly Banjo of Bloomberg told Chipotle to “stick to burritos.” Brian Sozzi of The Street started his piece on Chipotle with the phrase “Shame on Chipotle management.” Maxim Group analyst Stephen Anderson was somewhat less skeptical. In a note yesterday, he called the idea of Chipo..>> view originalUS women's soccer stars discuss wage-discrimination complaint

ALBANY — Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said he'd reached a satisfactory point on the state budget and was planning a joint announcement for later Thursday with Gov. Andrew Cuomo (and, intuitively, leaders of the State Senate.) “There's always details that have to worked out, even when you have, I'd say, conceptual agreement in certain areas,” Heastie told reporters. “There's always areas that need to be fine-tuned, but from the Assembly's stand-point, I think we're pretty much satisfied with wh..>> view originalHurley: NFL Owners Must Be Pressured To Simply Be Better And ...
