Schroedinger's stadium
Today's top Google News headlines on the Florida Marlins stadium saga:
- Marlins near deal for a new ballpark - Miami Herald
- Marlins deal taking shape for new stadium near Orange BowlÝ-ÝFort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel
- Time running out for Marlins moneyÝ-ÝPalm Beach Post
The upshot seems to be that the city of Miami is considering kicking in up to $25 million from the sale of the soon-to-be-demolished Miami Arena, but that the state legislature is still balking at supplying $60 million in sales tax rebates for the project. Said Miami Mayor Manny Diaz hopefully: "The Marlins could conceivably move forward without a commitment from Tallahassee and go back next year." J. Wellington, is that you?
