A new taxpayer-funded study released last week is the latest attempt by the Fischer administration to include the use of public dollars for constructing a new stadium for the Louisville City FC Soccer club. All three funding scenarios considered by the study involved some use of taxpayer dollars.

The whole process by which the city is trying to force taxpayers to help fund a new stadium for the USL (minor league) club looks very much like an on-field version of the game show Jeopardy, where contestants already know the answer and only have to come up with the question.

Bluegrass Institute president Jim Waters explains here, here and here why taxpayer involvement in these projects is not sound fiscal policy.

Waters will speak on this issue at Thursday’s (8/18)Louisville Tea Party meeting @ 7 pm @ the Ramada Inn, 9700 Bluegrass Parkway, Louisville 40299.

He also will be speaking on Tuesday (8/16) to the Hardin County Republican Women’s Club @ 6 p.m. @ the Stone Hearth Restaurant, 1001 N. Mulberry St., Elizabethtown 42701.
