Does anyone else feel like the “the public” didn’t get much of a say in whether or not we finance a new ballpark somewhere along the Strip?
Even as the legislature began its second week of the special session to give the Oakland A’s a truckload of “public financing,” almost none of the process had been terribly open to the public. The clandestine nature of backroom deals that defined the special session is the type that generally doesn’t instill confidence the interest of the public good is being prioritized above all else.
Judging by the testimony submitted by the public, Nevadans aren’t exactly leaping with joy over the passing of the bill. More than 80 percent of public testimony had been in opposition.
