Huber Heights to spend another $700,000 taxpayer dollars.

"Huber Heights officials are closing in on a 50-year agreement with Key-Ads that would result in a digital billboard along Interstate 70 on the site of the city’s $18 million music center — a project estimated to cost $700,000.
The 65-foot-high digital gateway feature would be built just to the west of the music center, and the city would finance the project, city officials said.
Construction could begin as soon as May and take about two months to complete, assistant city manager Scott Falkowski said. The city anticipates that naming rights for city-owned facilities and on-site advertisements will pay for the debt service, which is projected to be $50,000 a year for 20 years.
On-site advertisements would be for the music center, GoodSports’ fieldhouse/hotel and the outlot. GoodSports also could negotiate with the city for space on the sign.

“We’re projecting it pays for itself,” Falkowski said."

You would think Huber Heights is rolling in dough. When do they forecast something won't pay for itself?

Obama hack begs for support to steal more money.

"The Interstate 75 project through downtown Dayton is currently under budget and ahead of schedule, but U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told Dayton-area leaders Monday that future projects are at risk because the Highway Trust Fund is nearly empty.
Foxx stopped in Dayton as part of a multi-city bus tour, urging Americans to call their senators and congressmen and ask them to commit to a four-year $302 billion transportation funding bill."
