Welcome new FoS convention center correspondent Heywood Sanders!

I am very pleased to welcome as a correspondent to this site University of Texas-San Antonio economist Heywood Sanders, author of the new book Convention Center Follies and my (and everyone’s, really) go-to expert on how convention centers are just as wasteful public subsidy scams as sports stadiums. Sanders will be contributing occasional items on developments in the convention center world, the first of which should be hitting your screens shortly. Stay tuned to this space. Well, not this exact space, the space above it. Or to the side, if you’re using the mobile site. You know what I mean.
