MCKINNEY — Developer David Craig has asked the McKinney City Council for $300,000 to better promote the upcoming Nationwide Tour golf championship, which will be played at Craig's TPC Craig Ranch.
Council member Bill Cox, who appears to support the request, says the public funds would go toward ads on The Golf Channel during the tournament that would give McKinney a lot of exposure to a national audience. But those opposed to the request suggest it is tantamount to a handout to Craig, who already receives several tax and other benefits from the city for his development.

Gotta side with the opposed on this one. If McKinney's looking to get some publicity, methinks they should set the ads up themselves instead of forking money over to Mr. Craig.
