    I’d love to see someone track actual data to determine if that $12.6 billion of incremental spending over the next 30 years is really achieved. Too many projects claim huge ‘benefits’ to the community, but there’s no actual tracking whether those claims are ever met. How many benefits have been promised for supporting new public spending for the Fiserv Forum and American Family Field? You know in 20 years both will be back asking for more, so why aren’t we publicly tracking in real time?
