California county has surprised both the San Francisco 49ers and city
of Santa Clara leaders by pulling $30 million in tax funds from the new
49ers stadium.Santa Clara County officials told the Mercury News ( bit.ly/OaqIBz) Saturday that they would rather spend the money on teachers.
The
team and the city said voters had specifically earmarked redevelopment
money to help build the $1.2 billion stadium and that the county has no
right to keep it.
Well, I really love football, but I would rather the money be spent on teachers who do not make anywhere near enough money for putting up with some of what they do!
Football is great-don't get me wrong--but we gotta have priorities---our society can be kind of backwards when it comes to paying players millions while the teachers guiding our children only make around---oh, IDK, $30-40 thousand a year???!!!?
Would love to hear what you think! Any comments ? ? ? !! ? ? ?!1
