Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel Dullum:

#1 It took two court hearings at the Nevada Supreme Court of Appeals for Schools over Stadiums to be rejected but what were the reasons the court rejected the stopping of SB1 a initiative by Schools over Stadiums to stop the public funding of a Las Vegas A’s Tropicana Stadium?

#2 The court once again ruled that the language to have a ballot measure reject the public funding was “confusing” and “legally deficient” what makes this court decision questionable is that it took five justices to rule on it on a split vote with one judge dissenting.

#3 Behind closed doors you can only imagine, guess but can not prove that the court was under pressure from Nevada governor Joe Lombardo and the strongest union in Las Vegas the Culinary union to name one of the unions to make sure this petition never sees the light of day.

#4 Justice Patricia Lee concurred in her ruling saying saying the petition was “inadequate” and violated Nevada’s constitution because Schools over Stadiums “failed to put forth a full text of the measure proposed.”

#5 Schools over Stadiums countered by saying that they plan to continue the fight the public funding of SB1 for an A’s ballpark at the Tropicana for the 2026 election. Schools over Stadiums said they are organizing another constitutional challenge to SB1.
