Glendale, Glendale, Glendale

I am starting to get tired of seeing more and more bad financial news for Glendale. I want to be sympathetic to your plight Glendale, but it seems like it's really just a lot of poor planning and management on your part. Don't get me wrong, I still wish you all the best, but my support for your side is faltering a bit.

The newest development in the news concerns the Spring Training facility Glendale built for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox. While the contracts were set up for the build, it was unclear who was going to reap the benefits of the tax revenue. Glendale built the ballpark on a piece of property that it owned, however, that property's address is in Phoenix. One would think that this would have been noticed and clearly addressed first in the process.

Glendale. Let's have a little heart to heart here, shall we? You took a dive on the Jobing.com arena recently, the University of Phoenix stadium in all of it's glory hosted a local high school's graduation this past week, you built a multi-million dollar ballpark without thinking about who was going to benefit from the profits of it. STOP BUILDING SPORTS FACILITIES! This is clearly not your area of expertise. I know it sounds like a good idea, but so does eating a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts in one sitting. It might feel good at the time but in truth, it's very unhealthy.
