Billionaire NFL owner step closer to taxpayer dollars for his stadium
David Tepper, among the planet’s richest men with a net worth of more than $20 billion, is a step closer to securing taxpayer funds for renovations at his NFL stadium in Charlotte. Lawmakers in the General Assembly on Wednesday approved a bill to allow multiple counties to levy or extend a variety of tourism taxes. Among them, an extension on Mecklenburg County’s 1% tax on prepared food and drinks that was to expire in 2034.
