| Message | Privatization will lead to out-of-control player salaries, and granting localities control over funding policy is a recipe for disaster for the health of regional economies (localities choosing to fund sports clubs will have enormously higher tax rates than those that choose not to). The Democrats vote no. -- Claudia Scott, Spokeswoman |
