I somewhat agree with you on this one. It would be highly hypocritical for Jan Perry or Villiagarosa to come out publicly and say that the Streetcar has to be publicly funded due to the City's $350 million budget shortfall, then turn around and throw $300 million worth of public bonds AEG's way to fund the stadium. I'm in support of the stadium, but I'd rather see any public money go to the Streetcar.
