The cardinals pay $650k per year with 4% annual increases. That’s $10 mil plus over the 15 year contract. So from that perspective…it’s largely met the cost of buying. Tons of reading time but perhaps someone can read through and find other important points.

Somehow you made it worse

I guess. Like I said, Idk all the details. Wasn't trying to make it political...

you mean that event that's doing the same thing to EU and making gas expensive over there?

Professional team sports stadiums one of the few ways to spend tax money that is:

1- objectively useless

2- brings absolutely nothing to a city

3- does not create jobs or drive business

4- is a blatant hand out to the already wealthy

And yet somehow

5- you absolutely must do or your citizens will loathe you and vote you out of office

I graduated with my associates in culinary arts a year ago from OTC. If you’re only doing culinary you can get the degree in two years which is the normal pace, but several of my classmates dual or triple majored in baking and hospitality. There’s minimal gen eds that you have to take (I had to take 4 classes I think?) and the rest of it is either cooking or hospitality based (purchasing, management, etc). The chefs and instructors are knowledgeable, but you get out of it what you put in. Feel free to pm me if you have questions.

PREACH! Amen!

Sq footage, bedrooms, etc. will absolutely factor into the cost. BUT I just got my bill for the past month. It's up about $100 since December.

There is something about paying for some natural gas reserves that CU had to buy. Idk the details and I'm sure someone else could explain it better than I can.... but my bill spiked over the last month or two. It's almost double what it was this time last year. Bullshit.

Damn, that cashew chicken looks good though.

You can’t compare the two because they’re two different situations. Just because that sucks doesn’t make this situation suck ANY less.

If I’m in the left lane it’s probably because some basshat is doing 25 over up the right and blocking the lane. But go ahead an exercise your birthright to drive over the speed limit and demand everyone else move out of your lane.

According to what?

I meant a safe place for them to stay so the sheriff doesn’t run them off to squat in house.

So keep em outside as long as its not in your backyard, eh?

Yeah but it’s not on someone private citizens property

There is already a metric shit ton of money being poured into the homeless situation in Springfield. We have like 12 non profits for every citizen. How's it working out?

thank you

$12 million to get very little in return in terms of local business revenue.

It's still outside...

not sure which night it is but one night per week they have happy hour pricing all game long.

I keep asking for modest upgrades to our skatepark like lights, shade, and benches, but I keep getting told there's no money.

No problem!

I appreciate all of your information, it’s a lot of help. Thank you.

Try living somewhere where there's basically one utility company for most of the state or a huge region. You'll quickly come to appreciate CU
