      <![CDATA[I am waiting for Henrico and Chesterfield residents and Squirrels management to ask their county governments to build a stadium for the Squirrels, since those counties are clearly so better managed.<br>
<br>
And if the RMA and the counties are making so much money and are in such great shape, then maybe they can take over the Center Stage (a PRIVATE development that takes PUBLIC funds) and get that white elephant off Richmond's plate. <br>
<br>
I am really trying to be less sarcastic, but people around here have problems facing reality.<br>
<br>
http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2011/nov/17/tdmain01-henrico-facing-estimated-71-million-short-ar-1464765/<br>
<br>
http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2011/oct/16/tdmain01-central-va-localities-bracing-for-cuts-in-ar-1387082/<br>
<br>
But hey, maybe they are being realistic, and Chesterfield and Henrico would be willing to sell out their schools for minor league baseball.<br>
<br>
After all, Richmond sold out its schools for rich peoples' opera.<br>

The RMA is shared, but not equally. The RMA board has 6:2 representation in favor of the city, and the public facilities owned by the RMA are situated in areas that overwhelmingly generate tax revenue for in the city, rather than the surrounding partner counties.

      <![CDATA[mj, as Rick explains, RMA is owned by our 3 largest localities, which is why The Diamond is a shared asset. Civic facilities allow us (the region) to host events we couldn't otherwise have, which creates a sense of good will and can lead to ancillary development, but money making, they are not.

      <![CDATA[RobinsonSt, there is no "shared asset", the Diamond is owned by the RMA, not the individual residents of each locality. It could be an asset to the RMA, but instead the poorly managed "asset" has become a liability.

I don't what you think the Mayor promised, Richmond taxpayers are tired of paying for the counties' entertainment.<br>

      <![CDATA[Scott,<br>
All of the advantages to a new ball park belong to the City, the counties did not promise to pay for a new park within any given time period, the Mayor of Richmond did. I am quite happy with the Diamond the way it is now after the huge investment the Squirrels made, but a promise is a promise, and the promise was made by Richmond Mayor Jones, therefore the City owns the promise.

      <![CDATA[DiBella could stand to be more flexible himself. I personally don't think a new stadium is worth the money given everything else that needs attention, and it's been demonstrated that these facilities are not a good investment.

 I sued them.<br>

and if the GRMA continues to dick around the squirrels with their contract, I hope they sue as well. And I don't even have much reason to give a damn either.
