Exactly three weeks after receiving Precourt Sports Ventures and MLS’s response to Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine’s lawsuit, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther has submitted a response letter.
In his letter, Mayor Ginther reiterates the City of Columbus and State of Ohio’s position that Ohio Revised Code 9.67 does apply in this situation and “rejects any contention” that PSV or MLS has provided the City with notice that Columbus Crew SC intend to leave Columbus.
Then, Mayor Ginther provides an update on Columbus Partnership CEO Alex Fischer’s work to keep Crew SC in Columbus.
