Build Libraries, Not Stadiums


Couch Slouch opposed to new stadium in Los Angeles. (Spokane Spokesman-Review, 4/26/2011)

Excerpt:    Here’s another question for America: Can’t we start building libraries instead of stadiums? Isn’t that a better investment in our future? Do you know how many library shelves you could line with how many books for a billion dollars? And here’s a 2008 book I’d start with – “Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit,” by Neil deMause and Joanna Cagan. It’s a pretty good read, and I guarantee you it will save the city money.
