The Miami Dolphins, and two Miami-Dade Republican legislators, suffered a symbolic blow on Thursday night to their push for taxpayer subsidies to renovate Miami's Sun Life Stadium, as the Miami-Dade GOP narrowly passed a resolution condemning the effort as just so much corporate welfare.

The Republican Executive Committee of Miami-Dade County express their staunch disapproval of siphoning $120 million from Miami-Dade taxpayers, and $47 million from Florida taxpayers, for multibillionaire Stephen Ross, reads the resolution, which passed by a vote of 37 to 34 committee members. Taxpayers should never be the source of corporate welfare for billionaires, and should not be responsible for the funds to renovate Sun Life Stadium for the Miami Dolphins.
