Show Notes
Hillsborough County commissioners grapple with funding a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium, with the team covering half the cost. The remaining billion-plus dollars could come from various sources, including a voter-approved sales tax for public facilities. However, commissioners like Wostal and Boles oppose using Community Investment Tax (CIT) funds, as promised for general government, public safety, and education. Commissioner Hagan insists CIT help is necessary, but opponents cite ballot language excluding county-owned pro stadiums. The debate intensifies as the county balances promises and the potential of landing the Rays.
