Joe Killian of the Greensboro News & Fishwrap reported that the Stephen Tanger Center for the Performing Arts was facing a $5.7 million shortfall after Mayor Nancy Barakat "Grasshopper" Vaughan made the claim "that only users of the center will pay for its construction and the general tax paying public will not be on the hook." but as it turns out the actual budget shortfall is closer to $27 Million Dollars and you're damned straight taxpayers are going to pay for the shortfall.
But hey, don't take my word for it, read About that hole in Performing Arts Center Budget by Roch Smith jr and decide for yourself.
