Interview with Rep. Barbara Mikulski where she thinks owners are asking too much of the city. Cities are trying to renew themselves. We need to spend $30 million dollars on schools, not fancy stadiums. We need housing for the elderly, not skyboxes for the rich. And then I think that if we re going to get into that then there ought to be user fees from the owners. And they re holding us hostage. And great mayors of great cities, whether it s the Feinsteins, or the Goodes, or the Schaefers. And most of all, though, they re holding the fans hostage.
