“To say I’m extremely disappointed that no work has been done on this bill is an understatement.”
And while Wednesday’s session didn’t ultimately lead to a vote, with the Nevada officials electing to pick things back up later Thursday morning instead of jamming in a vote after midnight, things sure got intense across the nearly nine hours from start to finish — and even a little wacky.
Perhaps the most noteworthy moments both came from Democratic senator Fabian Doñate and A’s president Dave Kaval. The A’s mostly had two local representatives speak on behalf of their ballpark bill for most of the night: Steve Hill, president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Jeremy Aguero, a lawyer working on the A’s behalf locally.
But about two hours into the session, Doñate — who is the elected representative for District 10, which includes the Las Vegas strip — specifically requested Kaval come to the podium and answer whether or not the A’s would pay the Live Entertainment Tax for the proposed ballpark, like several other bars and restaurants do in the area.
Kaval’s answer, while filled with the typical buzzwords the A’s have used, didn’t directly state that the team would pay the LET, saying the team was looking to “improve the situation for small business, medium-sized businesses in a variety of fashions beyond” the LET. Sen. Fabian Doñate just cornered Dave Kaval, who wouldn't commit to the A's paying the Live Entertainment Tax for the stadium.
