TAKE ACTION TODAY and tell the #NVLeg to not use public money on another
stadium!
Hello Friend,

Here we are again facing another multi-million dollar sports team that
wants our tax dollars to build a stadium. This time, the Oakland A’s are
asking for a handout to the tune of approx. $380 million, and the
Legislature is ramming this bill — SB509 — through the process with [ [link removed] ]a
hearing TODAY, Memorial Day, at 4 p.m.

We need YOU to call into a joint hearing of the Senate Finance and
Assembly Ways and Means Committees TODAY at 4 p.m. and tell them to NOT
waste taxpayer dollars on another #StadiumScam when our state has CRUCIAL
services and initiatives to fund, like our public schools, affordable
housing, and healthcare services!

We were opposed to the last stadium and we will be opposed to this stadium
too, because corporate handouts and abatements should NOT be the Nevada
way. 

[ [link removed] ]TELL YOUR LEGISLATOR TO SAY “NO” TO THIS SCAM!

It is long past time that we invest our money in the right places like
mental health, affordable housing, childcare, infrastructure, public
education, and so much more. Instead, the legislature would rather
publicly fund yet ANOTHER stadium in Las Vegas — with NO guarantee that it
will be profitable or long-lasting. Not to mention the incredible risk to
Nevada taxpayers with the way this deal is set up and how many times the
A’s have already moved the goalpost. 

While we are searching for couch pennies to put into so many critical
needs  – Nevada is considering having the public foot the bill for another
stadium. [ [link removed] ]Will you join us in telling the Legislature to say NO to
public dollars for this scam?!

Nevada has seen one stadium scam before, but this proposal is even riskier
for our state and for hardworking Nevadans whose tax dollars will be put
in jeopardy to fund this project. By promising to fund this stadium, the
state and county will essentially be on the hook if it fails - there is no
other revenue source to back these bonds. Think about what we could do
with $380 million dollars in mental health funding or affordable housing
programs? 

Study after study has shown that these types of publicly financed stadiums
are not good for the economy and in the long run do not benefit the
community. Not to mention the damage the A’s will cause by leaving the
city of Oakland and what that city has invested in their team over the
years. 

This is yet another example of a rich dude coming to Nevada and asking for
corporate welfare and we have frankly had enough!

It is time to start thinking long-term about how we can attract businesses
to Nevada. NOT through tax handouts and abatements, but through fully
funding education, investing in mental health, and making our state a
desirable place to live in for EVERYONE. 

JOIN US AND [ [link removed] ]TELL THE NEVADA LEGISLATURE TO SAY NO TO ANOTHER STADIUM
SCAM! 

We fought the last stadium together and we will fight this one too!

Thank you,
