- A’s, Nevada leaders reach tentative ballpark agreement
- State treasurer says deal will minimize risk to taxpayers
Nevada’s Republican governor Joe Lombardo announced Wednesday a tentative agreement with the Oakland Athletics and legislative leaders for a stadium funding plan after weeks of negotiations over how much the state will contribute to a $1.5bn Las Vegas ballpark.
The tentative agreement outlined in a joint statement indicates a funding bill will be introduced in the Nevada Legislature in the coming days, giving lawmakers less than two weeks to consider it before the session ends.
