The truth is far more complex than that of course. It might be a great investment for the region...PR value etc. And some of the money will be new to the area, including some of the broadcast revenue. But the nuances won't play with voters, and their legislators might listen to them (they should listen to nuance, not the winds of populism, but it'll be mixed).
