The A's have not yet asked Nevada lawmakers to approve a half billion dollar tax package to help pay for the $1.5 billion ballpark. And time is running out.
Nevada Independent,Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager told The Nevada Independent in an interview Wednesday that not only had the A’s not presented "concrete" language to lawmakers on the proposed structure of public money for a new stadium, but that terms of the deal should have already been submitted in order to meet tight deadlines on a shrinking legislative calendar. There are 34 days remaining in the state’s 120-day session, which happens every other year.
Although the governor can order a special session, the Nevada legislature meets every other year and its current session ends next month. Gov. Joe Lombardo’s chief of staff, Ben Kieckhefer told the Independent that the governor was "excited" about the prospect of bringing the A’s to Las Vegas — but added that the team drafting the potential economic incentive and financing plan "has to do their due diligence."
