No baseball as we reported yesterday.
NC budget deal reached; lawmakers aim to vote this week on spending plan, sources say https://t.co/dSaAtFLjte

It seems encouraging that the senate supported the bill and that it's mentioned the legislature can bring it back to the floor outside of the normal budget process. Let's get this done!!

Why do you think the House will change their position?

North Carolina has gone more than 1,000 days without a state budget because the Senate and House do not agree

---

From what I've read this dead in the House?

---

It's dead at least for this session

Thanks.

One encouraging thing Hall said is that it's only no for now. They don't want to play all their cards at one time and give much information to others who also could be putting offers together for the Rays.

So other words no baseball to Raleigh and rays staying in Florida

Hunt for Red October

"Listen, I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open."

What he's really saying:

"Private companies should pay for their own facilities instead of relying on the General Assembly," Hall said in a statement to WRAL. "However, if someone writes a large enough check for my reelection PAC and transfers eight figures of crypto to an untraceable account, I am willing to consider it."

People everywhere who cover MLB are now acknowledging that Raleigh is a top 3/4 candidate for a team. This moderately sized YT channel that covers baseball admits that Raleigh is the better choice over Nashville based on data on population, media market size, and wealth in the region but still says Nashville is the front runner, just because of Nashville being the "sexier pick because it is a better known city"

Lol

The Royals' $2.3B downtown Kansas City ballpark is facing local opposition.

Local opponents are attempting to force a citizen vote on $600 million in city funding for the ballpark.
