Ron DeSantis rules out state money for Tampa Bay Rays stadium

by katem

Ron DeSantis wants the Tampa Bay Rays to stay in Florida. But not enough for the state to help pay for it.

Money for a stadium is a deal-breaker, he said Tuesday, adding that while the state will “be helpful within the confines of what’s appropriate for taxpayers,” that assistance “will not involve at our level giving money for the construction of a stadium.”

But he left open the door for local governments, saying “if someone buys the team and they want to build a nice new stadium, they can work with whatever local city and county if they want.”
