if you want to do something about ending spending, get your paws out of the pockets of chicago and illinois citizens and finance your own repairs to the graveyard of the national league. you just bought the damn place. didn't you look at the books? didn't you get an inspection? don't you have $150m of your own that you can spend?
fuck off old man.

Ricketts wants to "end bad government spending", yet wants hard working struggling Illinois citizens to pony up $300 Million Dollars in taxes to fund the repairs of his stadium, Wrigley Field. Unfrickinbelieveable hypocrisy.
