a stadium constructed with public funds. It failed to make resolution with McLaughlin's supporters voting against it. I have nothing against
a stadium, but who funds it is another story. How this went from committee to the Legislature in short order, lets everyone know that open politics is not being followed. Certainly puts labor into your camp! If this goes through without the proper process for the public, then the public needs to take proper action in return.
I am sorry to say...I missed the walk out today...surely people will try to make a big deal out of it but until people started to chant...we never noticed. There seemed to be quite enough loose cannons around there for entertainment throughout the day.

You may find this interesting, especially the paragraph that contains these lines:
"On the same day Jones received his gift, voters in Kansas City and St. Louis rejected similar measures to fund sports facilities. Since then, Washington, D.C. has agreed to build a new stadium for the relocated Expos baseball team now the Nationals), but its city council insisted that it be financed with a significant amount of private money. Public sentiment may finally be turning."
