The math doesn’t add up to me.
Onondaga County Executive McMahon wants to spend $85 million on an aquarium with taxpayer money.
They estimate it could generate $796,000 in annual sales and hotel tax revenue, which would be 0.2% of the sales tax we already generate. If the aquarium generates $796,000 in annual revenue each year it would still take over 100 years to replace the $85 million taxpayers spent.
