Kasim Reed said he found out from people involved in the negotiation that the cost to Cobb taxpayers will be $450 million, everyone else involved is refusing to say (which to me suggests it might be even more). How the hell can taxpayers be put on the hook for that kind of money with nothing but secret meetings?

I love baseball, I coached youth baseball for 8 years, and I've been a Braves fan forever. But these kind of dealings, and abandoning a perfectly good facility that's PAID FOR are starting to make me question whether or not I want to spend money on any more Braves tickets in the future.
