It will end up costing billions and we will end up paying for a huge part of this event.

So many parts do not make sense. Venue's all over the state, huge construction costs, inadequate infrastructure. Can you imagine what the roads would be like with thousands of athletes and hundreds of thousands of spectators? It is horrible now. So many of us do not see a benefit from all of this. Sure, jobs for construction but debt after it is over.

The list of negatives goes on and on.

No matter that the planners say, most of us don't believe it. Too late to squawk after it is decided.
No means no!
