Coney has it...your money, that is!

Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati was known for decades for amenities like Sunlite Pool, which the park claimed was the world's biggest recirculating swimming pool. It all came crashing down recently when the park was purchased by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, which announced it would tear down the park and replace it with a $118 million music venue. This is despite the fact that Cincinnati has plenty of music venues - many of which don't get much use as it is, because a lot of music acts won't come to Cincinnati because of past hostile actions against performers.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is plowing ahead with its plans while arrogantly ignoring the public outcry.

It's bad enough that this is allowed to take place. It's bad enough that they won't at least keep Sunlite Pool. But it gets worse! Imagine that! A group of business "leaders" is now demanding that the state of Ohio give Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra $20 million in taxpayer money for this dumb project. All for free. No strings attached.

So not only is a ridiculous, useless project that will destroy one of the region's most popular recreation sites moving forward. Not only is the resulting outcry being completely brushed aside. Taxpayers may also end up being robbed to pay for it.

It's like being forced to build your own coffin.
