The spring-training-helping-Orlando-Magic-subsidy bill that was passed tonight "also includes language that would allow a county or city to vote to use its local half-cent sales tax to help a Major League Baseball team, such as the Florida Marlins, build a stadium." (SunSentinel)
MORE: Sun-Sentinel at 10:10 PM reports the Marlins subsidy bill still could come up for a vote tonight. (SunSentinel)
THE BELL TOLLS: Marlins subsidy bill dies in, ironically, the state House (where it was always expected to pass) after the clock struck midnight, officially ending this year's legislative session. The bill had just been passed in the Senate(!) and was rushed to the House just before closing time. (MiamiHerald)
