What A Stupid, Stupid Law

From CBS Miami: A pair of bills making their way through the Florida legislature could have local homeless sleeping on the 50-yard-line of Sun Life Stadium or up in the rafter of the AmericanAirlines Arena.
Florida State Senator Mike Bennett (R-Bradenton) and State Rep. Frank Artilles (R-Miami) have introduced bills to demand Florida’s professional sports franchises to either start housing homeless folks in their stadiums and arenas, or give back the hundreds of millions of dollars they have received from the state....
The law Bennett refers to is a provision of a 1988 statute requiring teams that take state money to convert to homeless shelters when the teams aren’t playing. In the 23 years the law has been in existence; it has never been enforced.
Bennett and Artilles point out that every sports team in South Florida has taken millions of dollars of state taxpayer’s money. Across the state the total figure is more than $270 million.

I'm sorry, but whoever thought housing the homeless in a sports stadium or arena is a crackhead,  Putting homeless in an arena during the heat of the summer would cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in utilities, security, maintenance and other costs.  I would think that money would be better spent to help the homeless.
If the legislators want the money back, good luck with that, especially from the Tampa Rays and Florida Marlins, who would welcome the the homeless crowd because they can't get regular fans attend the games.
But this was a stupid law that was written by stupid people and accepted by greedy people who wanted taxpayer money.
