The baseball stadium deal has gotten a little sidetracked lately. My favorite line is “We should use the tax for something else” Guess what people? There is no tax money to go somewhere else. The admission tax only comes into existence – at this time anyway – if the baseball stadium deal goes forward. There is a vocal minority trying to sway the commission and defeat yet another economic opportunity for Clark County. The business people I have talked to are virtually 100% behind the proposal to build the stadium and most thought the proposal from the owners of the Yakima Bears was pretty reasonable. As usual the people who support the proposal, or don’t oppose it, don’t show up at the hearings or send emails. So those of you who believe the baseball stadium is a viable and worthwhile opportunity for our community just take two minutes and let the commissioners know how you feel.
