I am a simple man and undoubtedly missing the obvious answer. But if a new Ems stadium could cost Eugene taxpayers as much as $100 million, why can’t taxpayers decide this question? Why is the Lane County Commission making this decision, instead of referring the issue to the voters?
Simpleton as I am, I suspect I do know the answer: the commission knows that the people of Eugene would likely turn this crushingly expensive proposition down.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
