Miller Park Tax, behind schedule

Last week, the Executive Director of the Stadium District Board, Mike Duckett posted at Badger Blogger in defense of spending over $3 million for video advertising boards at Miller Park. My argument against was that these are tax dollars and that money should be spent on real needs, not revenue generating boards for the club. I commented that if a real need arose, and that money was blown on these boards, they would need to extend the expected ending of the tax in 2014. Today, we learn that for the past few years, they have fallen short in collections, so already they are talking about the sunset date being pushed back. This is unacceptable!
