      <description><![CDATA[Dr. Dan Walton, Sarastoa, FL, United States of America<p>This is an enormous hand out of money to a wealthy corporation that is unwilling to contribute anything at a time when we are in financial distress. The evidence that they would contribute financially to the community is<br />
not based on an honest appraisal but given by a company that specializes in telling their clients what they want to hear.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Roxanna McLeod, Sarasota, Florida, United States of America<p>If the board of commissioners  is not willing to hear statements from both sides, we can obviously deduct, they plan to go forward with this project. This action totally disregards the public wishes, NOT to use taxpayer dollars to fund this facility. These wishes were clearly represented the last time this issue was voted on, by the citizens of Sarasota.  Once again it appears the commission  has overruled the voice of the people they were meant to represent.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jason Boehk, Sarasota, FL, United States of America<p>The SRQ officials who support this Giveaway really have chutzpah to pitch this (no pun intended) as an economic boon for our community! A library trip or Google search yields ample research confirming that public funding of sports stadiums boosts only the profits of large, private corporations. Short-term, there might be construction jobs, but we can create those with better-advised infrastructure improvements for publicly-owned projects that boost tourism and accrue back to our community.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Captain Wayne Genthner, Sarasota, Florida, United States of America<p>Tourist development funds from the TDT should be used for promotions, not for constructing pro sports facilities.  Local government needs to use business sense and factor out the emotional attraction of team association, it just doesn&#039;t pay the bills.</p>]]></description>

The money set aside to help preserve our beaches needs to be used accordingly!  The health of our beaches should NOT be sacrificed for a monster structure that will disrupt the downtown environment and provide revenues 15 days out of the year! This is ridiculous!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Lee Fleissner, Sarasota, Florida, United States of America<p>Times are not right for spending tax payer dollars on a stadium which offers no guarantee of additional tourist revenue. Especially if the income will be funneled to Boston.<br />
We should be spending tax payer dollars on our world class beaches that attract tourists year-round. Additionally, there are many neighborhoods that need attention.<br />
Spend our money wisely!!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[B Wyatt, sarasota, fl, United States of America<p>If the commissioners can&#039;t understand the name change of a bridge why should we be able to expect them to handle such a complex idea of the stadium. To spend $80 million on a new ball field, which will only be full 10-15 days a year is foolish. The existing stadium is not profitable at its low operating cost. With the higher expense of a new stadium the city/county will have to use more taxpayer dollars to subsidize the costs.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[mrs Patti Nelson, Sarasota, FL, United States of America<p>We moved here so our children could play sports at the Twin Lakes Park....you are now making us worry that a park will turn into a FREAK grounds and I would have to worry more about my children&#039;s safety. Spending millions on this is stupid....help the homeless....do something worth doing</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Joseph M. Dunhill, Sarasota, Fl, United States of America<p>With the high salaries of ball players I refuse to fund their playground. The top-down economics of a stadium does not work. Let the ball players pool their own $$ form an LLC &amp; build their own stadium &amp; reap their own profits and truly partner with Sarasota...JM Dunhill CEo of the Private Equity firm-Secured Capital Partners LLC.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[MRS. DIAN MILLER, SARASOTA, FLORIDA, United States of America<p>To depend on a tourist tax to fund a baseball stadium, is not too smart at a time when people are using money for the necessities of life.  I, being a middle class American, would not think of traveling to NY, MA, CA, IL, TX or anywhere else to attend a baseball game with the economy being as questionable as it is.  What happens when there is not enough Tourist Tax money to foot the bill?  Where will the money come from then?  The TAX PAYERS, THAT&#039;S WHO. Call me crazy, but that&#039;s my gut feeling.</p>]]></description>
