The Chicago Cubs have announced plans to blanket the City of Mesa area with a campaign to win support for ballot Proposition 420. On November 2, voters will be asked to approve spending money for a new spring training facility to be used by the Cubs. While wording of the proposition asks voters to support spending in excess of $1.5 million on a Cactus League sports complex, the actual cost of the development is likely to be 100 times the number mentioned on the ballot.
This effort, to be known as Keep the Cubs, should kick off in about a week with meetings taking place with various civic groups and the introduction of a website at www.keepthecubs.com. Hopefully, there will be some actual data available that would support spending a huge sum of money in support of a private enterprise at the same time the local economy is in the tank.
