It's too late, now. We're pot committed. Phase 1 (2/3 of a stadium) will be done. The stuff we pilfered KSU tax dollars for might not, at least not for quite a while, if ever. Anyway, thanks guys!
Will it though? I ask because according to the article linked, KU will have to take out an additional $115 million in debt to complete phase 1. Now, that's not a complete surprise as everyone outside the crimson and blue clouds has been talking about how this project was behind schedule and over budget for a while now. However, the next question I have is, aren't those tax dollars in discussion contingent on the whole Gateway project being built? I mean, it's one thing to take that tax dollars, say it's going to be used for the project, and then muddy the waters between the stadium and the conference center/hotel/restaurants. It's another to take the tax dollars, use it all for the stadium, and not even build the Gateway project at all. Wouldn't that constitute fraud?
I'm asking seriously here because I truly don't know how these things work.
