City needs to stop subsidies

The Bulletin thinks taxpayers should fund an arts district so guests will have something to do while staying at a tax-subsidized hotel.

Re: Report shows venue potential, Editorial, Nov. 14.

So let me get this straight, the Bulletin thinks taxpayers should fund an arts district so guests will have something to do while staying at a tax-subsidized hotel.

The next thing ratepayers will be underwriting is a ferry to get patrons here. Which council is contemplating.

Is anyone paying taxes and not commandeering funds to keep every project afloat?
