Definitely it is a disaster of epic proportions. It is definitely 100% enabling bad behavior, Portland proves it. It has fueled the homeless crises. They need to stop focusing on the drug users and focus on the decent tax paying citizens that make things work. The left thinks backwards,

Steven Huillet

Stop decriminalization of drugs in Oregon and many people who use drugs will leave. That will also help get rid of many homeless.

Teresa Rodriguez

It should have never passed in the first place. What we knew would go wrong, did!!

David Kline

I support changes. Not repeal. We can cannot afford to go back to the old system of funding treatment.

Ben Hargis

Change meaning....abolish it.

Nebraska football generates and insane amount of tax dollars for the state of Nebraska, I would think the state would want to help maintain that cash flow.

Claude Michel

One must think about the revenues that a husker football games bring into the city of Lincoln. Only makes sense that they would help keep the facilities tip-top. CLaude

Thomas Wright

What PJ said !! Whatever it takes to keep big red rolling !! GO BIG RED !!

Chris Thackray

I think it's safe t say the the majority of households in Nebraska support the Football program. Spread equally across the state, I can't imagine that the needed/wanted taxes per household would be that much. I could be wrong. I haven't researched it.

PJ SAid

do people realize how much money football games bring to Lincoln ... no brainer, a great long-term investment for Lincoln and the State of Nebraska !

Seth Hyberger

The building is an economic power house for the state.

Why not. Money gets spent in a lot worser ways.

Michael Graham

Worser? You must be a UNL grad.

Scott Dreas

Do like other cities do and charge a tax on hotels and car rentals and let the visitors pay the tax to fund the stadium projects

Rappmaster Dugg

Because I live in Arizona.

Bob Cantin

Huh?

Sid Desai

Modern Monetary Policy. Initiative is already approved and people are paid. Our tax.money won't pay either way, unless you want to wait another 100 years.

Revenue by athletic dept should pay for it. First of all, I dont approve of the south end zone change, eliminating seating for the common folk.

Devin Salisbury

The football program is always bragging about how much they bring in. Why should any non fan have to support them?

Our taxes are too high already and it is because they pay for more than just essential services. Like football stadiums.

The Athletic Department turns a huge profit every year. They charge an insane amount of money to see a terrible product on the field. The egos/decisions of administration has already taken enough from the average person. They don't deserve a dime

Chuck Mix

We are overtaxed already. I love NU football, but if it can't pay for itself with current state support to the university, then it shouldn't be so big. We are blessed to have the support for the university football team, leave it to the folks.

Jerry Hedden

dont need to use state moneys for this

Randy Weitzenkamp

Only if they are going to expand seating capacity. If they are renovating to "enhance" the experience, let the donor pick up the tab.

Larry Smith

With ever more dismal seasons I would guess that filling the stadium would be a problem. Nebraska fans are great, but there is only an indefinite time before they lose interest with dismal season results.

Michael Graham

How about fix some roads instead.

Robert Lloyd

Absolutely not. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not that they are not turning in their graves with this socialist mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't play football, I don't/can't go to the games and so this is taxation without representation.

Scott Mateer

The collected taxes should be used to invest in the state of Nebraska's college students to reduce tuition and fees, improve rural health care, and/or invest in things like expanding renewable energy sources. Let the boosters and fans pay for the renovations and upgrades.

Robert Lloyd

Those things you mentioned are NOT what taxes were meant for.

Scott Mateer

Laird Watkins

The University and it's Mega-donors are not in a state of poverty. When the legislature is in attack mode on taxation, let us be prudent.

lawrence versaw

They rake in tons money pay for it yourself

Dan Stephens

That's what the donors are for.

Regan Zeller

There is plenty of private money to take care of this. Just let them name a restroom after a large donor.

Alan Montanye

They sale out every game. They have money. We are taxed to much already. And the price of living is ridiculous.
