"$75 Million is a Rounding Error"-Ken Hagan

🚨 Hillsborough Co. Commissioner Ken Hagan on WDAE on 4/21/26:

The deal that gives the Rays over $1 billion of county funds — plus 130 acres of the HCC campus — "wouldn’t be felt by the public.”

He also called $75 million “a rounding error” and insisted "this isn’t a tax increase."

Let’s talk about what $1 billion could actually fund instead:

• Fixing our crumbling roads and potholes

• Addressing serious flooding in our neighborhoods

• Improving public safety and emergency response

These are real, unfunded infrastructure needs that won’t magical

ly disappear if we divert CIT money to a billionaire’s stadium. We were promised the CIT would be used for roads, schools, and safety — not this.

Email Commissioner Hagan and the Board and tell them:

"Honor the 2024 CIT promise and don't tap our rainy day funds for yet another stadium!"
