Oooooohhhh Dannywatcher, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was upset or anything, seriously, darn written words......you said nothing wrong.

Anywhooo....I also lived in Kenosha at one time, then Burlington and Waterford, small world, lol. Now I don't remember the Packers having issues with taxes around Racine or Kenosha county, but that's not to say it didn't happen either before I was old enough to remember or after I moved, kwim? I do remember being taxed as a Racine county resident when the Brewers and their owners threatened to leave Milwaukee if they did not get their new stadium, the now known Miller Park. That did pass and cost one Sen. George Petak his seat because his constituients recalled him, lol. I could't vote in that vote because he wasn't the senator for my area, but I would have ousted him with my vote if I could have. That was a five county tax area and they actually said Racine county benifitted by out of towners staying in the hotels from Milwaukee, which was total bunk, lol. I was until that time a die-hard Brewers fan and after being held for ransom on their new stadium, I never set foot back in it. I am a Cubbies fan now, lol. I <3 them!

I have two shares of Packer stock, and yeah, there was talk/discussion about the remodeling of Lambeau. The stock was offered to fund that renovation. I can't remember how I went about buying it but I think it was around $400 a share, pretty pricey memorabelia. I am going to chew on this for a bit and try to remember more, my memory is bad for some reason, I think it was baby brain around that time, lol, I couldn't remember *#+% for awhile after I had each of my kids, lol, hence "baby brain". DH is out of town so I'll ask him when he calls tomorrow. I do know that the Packers cannot be sold, they belong to I believe Green Bay and the fans and there is not ONE owner, just one stupid GM, but that's another discussion, lol. I don't know what the franchise actually "costs" the residents of Green Bay, but I do know that the business' make some serious monies during football season. Actually you can go there anytime of the year and Lambeau has people walking around it, taking pictures, eating in Curly's pub, shopping in the pro shop, etc., there is ALWAYS people there. For the Packer fan and even some non-Packer fans, it is a pretty revered place.
