As Election Nears Details about Mesa/Cubs Deal Still Lacking

While the campaign signs encouraging residents to vote yes on Proposition 420 are sprouting all over the City of Mesa, details are sadly lacking about this ballot measure which would authorize a new Chicago Cubs spring training project. Where will it be? How much will it cost? What will it look like? Well, nobody knows. Apparently, the idea here is – “Trust us. We know best.”

Although certain sources within Mesa have said a draft final agreement between the Cubs and Mesa has been floating around for weeks, officially there is no agreement between the parties. The mayor says there will be ample details on this matter revealed to the public well before the election. Since early ballots go out the first week of October, one would think now is the appropriate time to disclose those details.
