@PaulFox13 What happened to the el niño giving us above normal rain this year? Do you believe SWFWMD is justified extending water restrictions thru October?
Keep moving forward,
TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) voted 5-2 Thursday to delay a vote on funding for the proposed Tampa Bay Rays stadium until August 20.
City Council Chair Alan Clendenin initially submitted a memo, requesting to delay the vote until July 23.
"The negotiations behind the scenes are still not completed. So, the Rays organization, the county, and the city, and also our CRA attorney, I believe, has been part of this discussion," Clendenin said.
Council member Lynn Hurtak said she hadn’t heard any updates from staff or from the Rays, arguing any conversations should include the entire CRA board.
"They didn't come to me, I went to them. Because the phones work both ways," Clendenin said in response. "The agenda item was posted, and I was concerned because of information that – I mean, I pay attention to what's happening as well. I do my research, and I also serve on the Tampa Sports Authority. So, I'm involved in a lot of conversations. I picked up the phone and called them. I said, ‘Where are we on negotiations?’ They said they're still ongoing. So, what is the point of having this discussion today if they are still negotiating?"
@JoeBucsFan Why would fans want to give the Bucs another handout? What investment have they made to our city? At least the rays ownership is putting something back into the governments coffers. If its between the two organizations, I'm on the Rays side.
@AlexTran677026 I always thought a better ending would be freeman's character shooting Doe, to save brad's character from a life of hate. If I remember correctly, freeman's character was retiring that week. Would have been a great sacrifice for the young detective.
