Today's One of Them Votin' Days

City "commissioners are expected to vote on expanding and extending the life of the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA, a move that could create hundreds of millions of dollars for the struggling neighborhood.

"The vote could secure Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones' vote next week for a new ballpark for the Florida Marlins." (MiamiHerald)

IN-OTHER-NEWS: Glenn Straub is still offering to build a ballpark on his piece of downtown land. The Marlins reply, "What offer?" (MiamiToday)

RESULT: The commissioners voted to expand and extend, thus making Commissioner Spence-Jones satisfied enough to possibly swing the stadium vote the Marlins' way. (MiamiHerald)

MORE: The Marlins will go to Jungle Island and hire black-owned businesses. (MiamiHerald)
