First post, and boy am I pissed

Here is a letter I sent to "King" Elliot Spitzer after seeing that New York State tax payers are subsidizing $70 mil for the rich and powerful to get free valet parking for Yankees games.. Absolute bullshit.

I read with much outrage and contempt this news article from the NY Daily News Titled "Taxpayers will fund Yankees' VIP parking, NYC gets less money"

How can this possibly be the case that the State of New York and its' citizens are paying for the rich and powerful to park for free at New York Yankees games. Remind you that the New York Yankees are one of if not the most prosperous and successful sports organizations in all of sports. In fact, according to this news article in the Washington Post, , the Yankees are worth $1.2 billion. And we the beaten down tax payer are to subsidize valet parking for them? As a tax paying citizen of Western New York I found this to be an outrage and find my self at a loss for words. The state of New York has continually kept a blind eye towards Western New York and all of "upstate" New York for decades missing out on the collapse of infrastructure, the loss of thousands upon thousands of jobs with little recourse or action, and we now have to pay for the rich to attend Yanks games?

Disgusted,
