It's weird to me watching people actively rooting for billionaires to fleece municipalities. 

It'd be a much wiser move by Rock Hill to invest $21k per each impoverished resident in their city than hand Tepper $225M to help fund his headquarters. 

What's the upside for Rock Hill? I don't know the area but assume the facilities biggest immediate impact would be like 100 Panthers employees spending money at gas stations or whatever on their way to work. I'm sure they were going to have a cafeteria at the facility that would cover 80% of food needs. I guess some politicians or whatever thought it would be some sort of revenue/tax stream to benefit the county/state but attendance at training camp the last couple seasons has sucked ass and actual practices are closed to the public so, I didn't get it from the jump. Maybe Tepper liked the cheap land and SC liked the image of having something relevant happening in a random town

The area is being developed in to more than just a practice facility. It will have residential, office and retail. All of these increase the tax base of the community going forward. 

This is why local government was interested in partnering and investing in infrastructure for the area

Electro was off on a tangent about raising taxes for some reason. It's not raising taxes it's expanding the tax surface. This is how thy pay for toys for police, infrastructure, etc.

I'm honestly surprised how folks dint understand the foundation of how this stuff works.

 

The incentive deal states the City of Rock Hill would forgo all its property tax revenue from the Panthers project for up to the next 30 years. The Rock Hill School District would do the same for 75 percent of its revenue, and the county 65 percent. 

Property tax is the largest source of revenue in York County.

So it's an attempt at gentrification of an otherwise non-desirable Charlotte suburb?

Property taxes from businesses are the primary revenue source for SC cities and counties from what I understand. SC state law significantly limits residential property tax rates so attracting new big businesses with big properties is important to these places if they want to get more revenue for schools etc.

Considering that, the breaks they are offering now is a big deal. They are forfeiting an important Rev stream.

If they can raise property taxes on businesses without screwing the OG homeowners that would be ok. I'm in NYC and it doesn't end up being so friendly to the working class landlords/tenants. Here it leads to more money for cops, gentrified schools, etc.. generally no benefit to the older residents who don't get a pay raise when the city gets a tax revenue raise, you just get priced out of your home eventually

Don't live there, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but if I understand, its a revenue stream they don't currently have, right?  So they aren't really giving up anything.   Or maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.

It was stupid for Rockhill to even except this offer. They don't have the tax base to support it. It has nothing besides a college there. Property tax isn't per say limited but yes it's not like the tax structure of say NY or NJ.

Just move it to Spartanburg where they are wanted!! Simple!! But I do get it’s just training camp not a sports facility.. but I am sure Spartanburg could do better than Rock Hill

You can't have your headquarters that far away, especially not with the traffic on I-85 that's only going to keep getting worse.

Only a few of the rich get richer. It's not a good deal for the average person.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
