I believe there has been NONE. This, on the most expensive small arena ever built on a cost-per-seat basis.<br /><br />Add to this new, burgeoning state tax revenue deficit, the transfer of normal municipal tax revenues from throughout the city from their original purpose into private building construction cost payments. Next, the reality of virtually NO new tax revenues having been generated for Pennsylvania, it's easy to see Allentown's new glory is happening at ENORMOUS expense to individual citizen taxpayers all across the Commonwealth. <br /><br />So, let's also question the performance and ethics of our state legislators. What were they thinking in times like these? Something needs to change, and soon! <br /><br />Fred WindishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
