I probably won't do a Thursday morning post, so here's how things look tonight...
The County Mayor is 'optimistic', but the 'president of the Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association' is against the new plan, or whatever it is, as it is 'still in need of significant work'.
On Thursday the Miami City Comission meets to discuss why their contribution to the new ballpark is increasing by $13 million. Their answer seems to entail rerouting property-tax money to pay for the things the hotel bed tax was paying for, so the bed tax can now pay for the stadium (bring in more sleepy tourists!). Meanwhile Miami's mayor is still talking with MLS about a soccer stadium possibly adjacent to the possible ballpark to help pay for the possible parking garage.
Speaking of baseball, here's a link to someone who thinks Detroit didn't do that great of a deal.
And I won't even speculate on the appropriateness of Mr. David Samson being honored by a group whose main concern is the treatment of horrible intestinal conditions.
