Mesa City Council Meets to Discuss Cubs Stadium Deal

The Mesa City Council met today to discuss new proposals to fund the proposed Chicago Cubs spring training project. Unfortunately, as with most of the previous official gatherings on this subject, this meeting was not open to the public. Perhaps there will be some announcement within a few days as to what was discussed. Recently, far more information about this development has been revealed by the Cubs organization than by the city. Representatives of Mesa have dodged questions and misled taxpayers for several months on this matter.

Hopefully, one of the proposals discussed at the latest meeting deals with bringing in private funding for at least some portion of this undertaking. This option has the best chance of overcoming objections which have arisen since the spring training proposal was first announced in January.
