Hooray for the Colts & Pacers - Higher Taxes 2 Support Them

[quicksdraw]

These are still elected officials right?

Not the CIB. They're all appointed by the Mayor and Governor.

Sounds like it is time for a new Mayor and Governor huh...

Yeah, but if the Colts go away, so do the cheerleaders. I know you wouldn't want that. Now fork over some more of that paycheck fellas!

If professional teams were to can the players and offer an all female chearleader program.

I would not mind paying to support them at all.

Actually, the cheerleaders will stay behind. They are just local school girls. We can still dream about picking one of them up in a bar long after the Colts and Pacers move far away and a different batch of women take their place. So it's ok, send two of the causes of over taxation out of my state. When I was a kid, the sales tax in Indiana was 4%. I own a restaurant in Johnson county now and I have to collect 8% sales tax from my customers and turn it over to the state. Now, please don't attempt to correct me by indicating the sales tax is 7%. The tax was raised on restaurants and hotels for Lucas Oil Stadium in Marion and most of the surrounding counties because "building a new stadium will just cause my sales to skyrocket in Johnson County!" Right...give me a break.

The cheerleaders are the best part of watching either of those teams in my opinion, but then again, I spend my time in the fall deer hunting, not watching a bunch of men hug and tackle each other. We need to have cheerleaders for deer hunters

Glad I don't drink or smoke anymore. If they really want to make some money, they'd start taxing fast food.

the 1% Restaurant ("Stadium") Tax is already in effect for central Indiana counties. Be glad you don't live here!

The Colts and Pacers steal money from us through the government. Meanwhile, there's a little place at 16th and Georgetown, that brings more money to the state and city than the Colts and Pacers combined, that has never used public money.

I still haven't been to the big city here. What is that place?

Huh? I live and work in Marion County. So not only do I get the taxes, my vote gets wasted among the libs...

Higher taxes for the Colts huh? That sucks, I'm a bears fan.

We here in the northern part of the state would disagree. Mitch sold our toll road even when a VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE of people said not to. Now the tolls have done nothing but increase which seems like every 6 months. He will never get my vote again.

We keep hearing the Colts and the Pacers yelling that if they do not get taxpayer money then they might have to go elsewhere! OH Well and take your gang-bangin hoodlum players with you!
Maybe they all need to sit down with Tony George and the folks running Indianapolis Motor Speedway, you never hear Tony crying he cant afford to pay for something and he brings alot of money into the area including surrounding counties.
Maybe they need to put the 2 over priced stadiums under the charge of Tony and then lets see where they go, Iam seeing in-door dirt track and maybe some short track racing! I will pay to go then!
