Cleveland Pol Proposes “Win Tax” for Public Support of Sports Teams
Friday, 06 June 2014 | by Pat's Picks
Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald says Cleveland’s sports teams need to start winning if they want to get public support in the form of tax revenues. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says FitzGerald is proposing a “Win Tax” which would award 20% of the city’s “Sin Tax” revenues to Cleveland’s sports franchises based in part by how well they play. Cleveland’s pro sports teams have gone 50 years without a championship, the longest drought of any American city.
