Erica York: Redskins Camp is a Bad Deal for RVA Taxpayers

As the Washington Redskins “broke training camp” at their state-of-the art facility, the city of Richmond is going broke paying for it all.This year marks the fifth season the football team trained in Richmond. In 2012, city officials lured the Redskins — the fifth-most valuable NFL franchise worth $2.95 billion — to move their training facility. The deal has not paid off for the taxpayers of Richmond. What should have been a privately funded project is costing millions of tax dollars from the hardworking residents of Richmond.
