The Oakland A’s bid to have their public financing package plan heard in the Nevada Legislature has gone into extra innings and will be discussed Wednesday morning.
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo issued a proclamation late Tuesday night calling state officials for a second consecutive special session, this time to discuss a potential $380 million public financing package to help fund a Las Vegas stadium project for the A’s, who are seeking to leave Oakland after 55 years.
Before Tuesday night’s announcement, it was possible the bill wouldn’t have been considered again until next February, which would have cut off the A’s access to revenue-sharing from Major League Baseball. MLB has told the A’s they must have a stadium deal in place before January 15 to continue to be eligible for revenue-sharing monies.
