An amended version of the A's bill proposing $380 million in state funding for a new ballpark in Las Vegas passes the Nevada Senate and is now headed to the state Assembly.
“Honestly, if it was my own money, it’s a good deal. I would probably vote yes. But it’s not my money," Hansen said."It’s the taxpayers' money, and we should do all we can to ensure the private sector does these sorts of investments.”
Lawmakers also inserted changes unrelated to the stadium proposal but which mirror legislation Lombardo vetoed earlier this month. Last month, Lombardo’s office introduced the stadium financing bill with less than two weeks left in the legislative session. He called lawmakers into the special session after the bill failed to pass during the regular session.
