Show Notes
Hillsborough County commissioners debate using a voter-approved tax for a new $1.2 billion Tampa Bay Rays stadium, with the Rays pledging 50% of the cost. Transparency concerns arise as commissioners push for public workshops and immediate release of negotiation documents. Residents and bipartisan leaders express worries about taxpayers covering the cost, predicting potential lawsuits if the ballot language is misinterpreted. The Rays propose alternative funding sources, but commissioners admit the deal wont happen without some CIT cash. Legal advice on voter intent is sought, with no vote in sight until a full proposal is presented.
