    PORT FOR JERRY A.

    This is not a logical idea. I wonder, do legislators work with logical ideas. This will be a strain on budgets for both the state and the city of Louisville. Best to leave the wording the way it is. After all, sports stadiums are entertainment centers for a small number of the toal population. These centers should be paid for, in part, by the profesional organizations. Not on admission, but as part of the signing for the bond issue. That way, if things don't "work out" then they can't pull a Baltimore and move to Maryland. A great idea for Louisville, but I wonder how many people from Inez, and the Eastern portion of the state would be able to afford a ticket. Among the most exp sports to take your children is profesional basketball. I know you will do whatever you want, but at least I had a say. Jim Anderson Stivers Frankfort, KY.

    Cincinnati

    I kinda like the way the Queen City did it for Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark. They let the citizens of the Cincinnati vote on whether they wanted to pay a .5 cent tax (I forget what on) in order to build the new stadiums. It was just a tax in the city and they had a choice.
