They both owe me. They (the Bengals) were heavily involved in that entire process and helped shape public opinion. They also hired the county commissioner (Bob Beddinghaus) who spearheaded the entire campaign on the county side (shady AF).
As far as the bringing a lot to the economy of the county, that has been disproven numerous times. And not just here, but in general. NFL teams don't bring in anywhere near what they claim. Their numbers rely on some of the most ridiculous assumptions (No one would do anything on Sundays or spend if there wasn't football, every restaurant and bar patron within so many miles is only eating or drinking there because of the NFL, etc.)
