Try to keep ahead of these guys. The baseball advocates are now asking for an additional 6 months to consider the baseball stadium. Stringing out the timeline 6 more months gets us to December, noting that this is AFTER the November general election. Is Sterling Cheatham throwing out this $40,000 for additional funding because the decision is going to be "necessarily" delayed (and he knows it), which would cause a $40,000 expense for a special election? I'm thinking that they will try to keep the vote OFF of the general election ballot and then get everyone up in arms about having to spend so much money for another election (which would have very low turnout.)
Extra Innings?
