I see what you are saying fenwick, but people would shit their pants over building a world class stadium (which would be possible given the Bayers rd widening budget) because its seen as "giving money to private, professional sports interests" that "not everybody uses"... even though most of our tax dollars go to fund things that I don't get any use out of. A stadium is slightly more justifiable than a road widening, but hey, a road widening does benefit those who ride the bus.
There is no winning by spending an appropriate amount on a project in the HRM from a political standpoint.
