City of Mesa mayor Scott Smith was quoted today in the Arizona Republic as saying the odds are very good that the city and the Chicago Cubs will have a deal in place for financing the proposed new spring training facility for the team within the time frame described by the Memorandum of Understanding signed back in January. While the mayor did not say how the development would be financed, he did say “Yes, there will be something for voters.” The mayor contradicted recent comments from Cubs officials by emphasizing there would not be an increase in property or sales taxes. So, it remains unclear just exactly what the “something” he referred to is.
At this juncture, it appears the city is continuing a purposeful campaign to conceal details of this project in an effort to blunt opposition.
