Tillis and Berger on Panthers
An email was sent yesterday with the following Panthers update.
Raleigh, N.C. – North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) and Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) released the following joint statement today regarding the Carolina Panthers:
“Conversations with the Carolina Panthers organization and local and legislative officials are ongoing and productive. The Panthers not only produce thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in economic impact, but are a source of pride for the Charlotte region and the entire state. We remain steadfast and committed to keeping the Panthers in North Carolina and will continue to work together to achieve that goal.”
Gentleman, I would respectfully submit that the Panthers do NOT bring millions of dollars of economic impact, they simply shift its location.
Further, this entire notion of attempting to “keep the Panthers in Charlotte” is a non issue. There is no way whatsoever that they would leave. It is simply too profitable an enterprise.
On the plus side, there is no discussion of a referendum.
If you are opposed to this, please contact these officials.
Speaker Thom Tillis:

Senator Phil Berger:

Let them know:
“NO to state money for the Panthers.”
“NO to a tax increase in Charlotte.”
“NO referendum required.”
