Resistbot Petition: Oppose spending taxpayer funds to subsidize the Oakland A's stadium

An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Oppose spending taxpayer funds to subsidize the Oakland A's stadium

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I've been reading that the Oakland A’s want to bring their Major League Baseball team to Las Vegas, and they want to receive tax payer funding &/or tax credits to help build a stadium; possibly a combination of both. NO First I read in a local newspaper they wanted a '$500 million public funding package involving tax credits and the creation of a special taxation district to help fund stadium construction.' Recently I read an article stating they want '$395 million in public financing' for their project. As far as I know, there is no bill introduced to give them what they want, and with three weeks left in the state’s 120-day Legislature... it needs to stay that way! As revealed in a special presented by John Oliver regarding, "Stadium Subsidy Criticism", scenarios such as these directs tax payer funds into the pockets of billionaires; helping them construct stadiums that will have little- if any- economic benefit to the local community.
