Cowboys gear up stadium campaign
In anticipation of a possible stadium referendum in November, the Dallas Cowboys have sent mass mailings to Dallas County voters claiming that a new stadium would generate $300 million in economic impact and "thousands of new jobs." With the Cowboys asking for $550 million in public money, even "thousands" of jobs would mean around $100,000 in subsidies for every job created, which is a ratio that economists call "sucky."
