The Atlanta Falcons are in talks with the Georgia World Congress Center Authority on a proposed new stadium, but a member of the board of Common Cause Georgia thinks there's something missing: public input.

Attorney and former state legislator Wyke Orr tells WSB the taxpayers are entitled to know how much of the estimated $1 billion cost they could be on the hook for, "Unknown costs can fall on the public and the taxpayer when it's too late to do anything about it."

And he thinks there needs to be a comprehensive analysis of the economic impact the new stadium would have, "The financing of this and what the public's going to have to bear; very little is being known about that."

Orr also feels if hundreds of millions in tax money are to be spent building the stadium, it's only right to spell it out,  "I noticed that the mayor said that as far as infrastructure costs and what have you that could fall on the city, that it's not known yet, and may not be known until a final deal is reached.  Well, that's too late."

Common Cause hasn't taken an official position on the stadium one way or the other.
