What? Give a sports team money that should go to schools?
The Cavaliers want taxpayers to help pay for a proposed $20 million practice field in Independence.
The team wants to borrow money from the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority and then use some of the taxes it will pay on the sports complex -- which normally go to schools and government -- to repay the loans.
Asked if that means the Cavs are in line for a tax break, Independence Mayor Fred Ramos said: "They may be, yes."
Don't be too hard on Ohio and the Cavs until we hear next from the Colts, and see what Indiana's response is.
NOTE: I redid this post, including cutting and pasting Mike Kole's comment, because the original picked up the coding for an ad that was in the Cleveland paper.
