Marlins Take Miami-Dade for a Ride


IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME and it won't be the last, but it's always frustrating to the taxpayer when private corporations, in this case the Florida Marlins, use publicly-funded money to pay for stadiums. The Marlins have tried for fifteen years to tap significant citizen dollars to build a new stadium. They claim a need for a new venue which will bring in more dollars and help make their team more competitive, blah, blah, blah. Lest we forget, the Marlins have won two World Series since 1997. That's one less than the Yankees, the same number as the Red Sox, and more than everyone else.
