Vegas shuffle?

Hold everything - Las Vegas may not need state legislative approval of its $450 million baseball stadium plan after all. The latest reports have Clark County's redevelopment agency using - yes, you guessed it - tax-increment financing to redirect property taxes to a stadium project, though the details are still sketchy, and Clark County Manager Thom Reilly has indicated a TIF plan might require a state vote anyway.

In other Expos-wooing news, that Washington Times story from yesterday also let slip that "several industry sources say a city may not be decided upon until late this summer or the fall." Isn't this where we came in?
