County votes to delay stadium bond vote for second time
November 19, 2024 - Pinellas County Commissioners voted 6-1 Tuesday evening to postpone voting on a bond issuance that would fund their investment in a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium until Dec. 17. Commissioner Brian Scott proposed the board’s second delay in less than a month to give two new commissioners more time to consider their decisions and “put the pressure on the Rays” not to walk away from the previously approved agreement. A county attorney said the commission could not issue the bonds until Jan. 5, at the earliest.
