I have a co-worker who is rabidly conservative - he has nothing good to say about any sort of government assistance for the private sector and is very much anti-tax, yet he was an ardent supporter of the new stadium in Seattle and had no problem with the increase in taxes and creative financing that paid for the structure. I guess everyone has their price. (He is equally rabid about sports).

He probably figures they are going to get his money anyway might as well have a nice sports stadium instead of something he could care less about such as marine science centers, rock and roll museums and ridiculously expensive artwork for prisons
