Public funding bill for Oakand A’s ballpark plan in Las Vegas stalls without a vote
The Oakland A’s decades-long pursuit of a stadium deal took another turn late Monday night when the Nevada Legislature adjourned without considering a bill proposing public financing of up to $380 million to help pay for the construction of a new baseball stadium along the Las Vegas Strip.
Lawmakers also failed to pass one of the five major budget bills that included over $1 billion to fund capital improvement projects that fund state public works and construction, which would also likely be considered for a special session. The measure faltered in the Senate as they ran out of time for a second vote after party disagreements lasted until the midnight deadline.

And that has pitted Nevada’s powerful tourism industry and labor unions against some progressive groups, raising concerns about ceding tax revenue when services such as public schools are funded below the national average. Proponents say the proposal could create new jobs, increase the state’s general revenue and further diversify the city's casino and gaming-based economy.
