minus-squarenat_turner_overdrive [he/him]hexbear9·2 years agoI can promise you that this school did not spend even $1M on any other sports, music, choir, or academic competitions. link
minus-squareXette [they/them]hexbear5·edit-22 years agoThe funding from the stadium came from a $119M bond. $23M of that went to building a performing arts center as well.. Regarding @HoChiMaxh' comment you're replying too, they're a boujee suburb that relies on being heavily subsidized. NJB has a decent series explaining how this works. In the case of Allen for this post, they're now over a billion in debt as a result with no real escape plan. Good luck getting a heavily conservative city of 100,000 that cries at the slightest tax increase to have everyone pay back $10,000 each to cover that. That's, you know, including all the children, elderly peeps, and other peeps who aren't working. link
