How THEY Get You to Pay Twice

Developer named for $1.5B Riverwalk project near St. Louis

The St. Charles, Mo., City Council has selected Riverwalk Development to develop a $1.5 billion, 300-acre project along the Missouri River. The project will include hotels, shops, a marina, condos and a pedestrian walkway. Riverwalk Development will request public subsidies to help fund the project's bridges and pathways. The project will also require dredging sand in a canal.

This is how they hit you twice. Every dollar spent by the government has to first be taken from somebody else and thus it is not the government that is funding any project -  but the citizens, and this audacious move to now ask for public "subsidies" for even more money is appalling. The public has already given at the office.
