Tax funded Portland mega-restaurant delayed, over-cost

The taxpayer-funded James Beard Food Court is being delayed, and it is over budget by millions.  The Celebrity Food Court has received a $10 million grant from the State of Oregon.  That will not help much since the project is $15 million over-budget.

Already nearby is another food court, The Flock, which is taxpayer subsidized.  That food court is in the same building with Oregon’s most expensive hotel/condo the Ritz-Carlton which also received tax subsidizes.  The Ritz-Carlton only lasted one year before spiraling towards bankruptcy.

How are local family owned restaurants supposed to compete with taxpayer funded restaurants?

Please stop with the taxpayer subsidies of hotels and restaurants!
