Gwinnett stadium eats money

The Gwinnett County Commission has voted to spend another $19 million on its new baseball stadium. They did so Monday without taxpayer input.

The stadium will now cost $59 million, a nearly 50 percent increase. Ouch. Looks like the county’s field of dreams is eating up a lot of money at a time when many of us are pinching pennies.

My Saturday column will deal with my take on the stadium issue. Read it in the print edition of The Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

Until then, though, I’d like for readers to share their views on the matter.

Please feel free to post your comments.
