@Polymarket Why celebrate this? That mall has sat empty for 24 years. The developer projected $53.5M a year in local taxes. The county is $147M in the hole. Now it stays a vacant lot. Who exactly won here? 🤨

Yes the county is running a huge shortfall. Yes this slab of concrete has been abandoned for more than two decades and is merely a useless eyesore. Yes, this nitwit's "victory" is going to cost the county and state millions of dollars in tax revenue. And yes, this brain donor and others like her will be screaming about how underfunded their preferred social programs are. Willful stupidity is a choice
