TGIF Afternoon Political News Dump 10-6-11: NFL's "no thanks" to AEG
NFL not impress with Corporate Welfare City-State of AEG LA LIVE.
Just think if no one came to play football after all the backroom deals and payoffs, ... well from Yahoo.
Despite significant political momentum throughout California for a downtown Los Angeles stadium that would house an NFL team, the league had a recent message for people involved with the project:
Right now, no thanks.
During a Sept. 6 meeting at the NFL offices in New York, commissioner Roger Goodell told Los Angeles Councilwoman Jan Perry and political aide Bernard Parks, Jr. that neither the league nor any team interested in moving there would agree to the business proposal set forth by Anschutz Entertainment Group, according to three sources with knowledge of the conversation. AEG is the private company that has offered to build and operate a retractable-roof stadium, which would be named Farmers Field, on the site that is currently part of the Los Angeles Convention Center. That means no free tixs for the Mayor until at least after reverting to "Citizen Villar".Your thoughts..............

You would think that they would have squared all of this away before pushing for state legislative changes to accommodate the building of this boondoggle project. This is further evidence that their motive, to bring positive economic changes to LA, is only smoke and mirrors. It is, has been, and will be, all about AEG profits. When will we ever learn?
GOOD!! SERVES THEM RIGHT!!THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT CHANGE LAWS TO ELIMINATE ANY PUBLIC SAY IN THIS PROCESS THEY ARE TRUE VILLAINS WHO'S DAMNING WORK WILL HURT LOS ANGELES FOR YEARS. THEIR FRIENDS ON THE COUNCIL,THE MAYOR,THE GOVERNOR HAVE PLAYED INTO THEIR HANDS AGAINST WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THIS CITY. OUR ABILITY TO STOP LARGE DEVELOPMENTS HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE MORE RESPONSIBLE COMMUNITIES THESE DEVELOPMENTS WILL HURT.
