Supporters of a bill that would allow the Miami Dolphins to pursue tax break subsidies for a $400 million stadium renovation say it will make Miami a more attractive host city for the 50th Super Bowl in 2016.
That Super Bowl will generate a lot of economic benefits, they say.
In a recent committee hearing on SB 306, Long-time Dolphins lobbyist Ron Book put the estimate beyond a normal Super Bowl's expectations.
"Super Bowl L by everybody's estimation is a $500 million economic impact to the state of Florida," Book said.
That’s a pretty strong claim that "everybody" estimates a half-billion
impact from a single Super Bowl. Is there widespread agreement on that
number?
PolitiFact Florida reviewed the evidence. The verdict? It's False. Read the story.
Rick Scott is letting all this happen in Florida. Voting for Charlie again!
