Hillsborough County has committed up to $50 million toward construction and design costs connected to the downtown redevelopment project planned by Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik.No discussion? Are you serious?
County commissioners on Wednesday, with no discussion, approved a redevelopment agreement with the city of Tampa outlining how much the county will pay toward the $2 billion project. The agreement calls for the two local governments to contribute matching amounts toward design, permitting and development of public infrastructure, such as streets, drainage and utilities.

But he does have a buddy with Bill Gates backing his efforts around downtown Tampa.
Bill Gates' riches will help fuel Jeff Vinik's vision.
An investment fund controlled by Microsoft's billionaire founder will help finance the Tampa Bay Lightning owner's ambitious plan to build a massive entertainment, office, residential and retail district around the Amalie Arena.

| Bill Gates needs your money |
Hillsborough County Commissioners gave $50 million of our tax dollars away to support Bill Gates, worth an estimated $79.2 BILLLION dollars, and his sidekick Vinik, a mere pauper at $515 million?
Without discussion?
Well, it's just par for the course. After all, it appears we just can't be satisfied without giving a handout to your itinerant broken down billionaires. Last month, it was the Glazers that needed our money.
Hillsborough County commissioners approved a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday that will finance at least $87 million in upgrades to Raymond James Stadium while giving taxpayers a larger share of money from non-Buc events.The Glazer family is only worth about $4.5 billion, so they need our help.
Commissioners voted 6-1 for the agreement, which was approved by the Tampa Sports Authority on Tuesday. Commissioner Stacy White was the only no vote.
They're all such good business men we have to bail them out.
