Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher showed up in Nevada to meet with state lawmakers for the first time Wednesday, pushing a bill to partially fund a new ballpark in Las Vegas.
“We only talked in context about the legislation and what was in the community enrollment piece,” Hammond said , adding that “we discussed what has to happen to get this out on Monday."“To me, it really is about community involvement," Hammond added."When a team moves into a community, you want to make sure that they're invested [in the community]."Even though public doesn't actually vote on SB509, citizens still are making sure their voices are heard.
The bill has received 2,370 public opinion positions of which 78 percent oppose the bill and 20 percent support it. The “neutral” option has received zero selections so far. Anyone can submit their position on the bill, not just Nevada residents. So A’s fans from California and beyond also can weigh in, too.Hammond added the A’s have “a tremendous amount of support” from organized labor and the Southern Nevada business community.
“There's a lot of vocal people who are opposed to giving any amount of public assistance to any private entity, like a sports team,” Hammond said. “But there are a lot of people who understand that when you invest public dollars it has to be the right investment.”
